💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

📱 Mobile Data & eSIM: Get data for Amman with PikaSim - 0.5GB for 7 days costs $1.90 (other options: 0.1GB/7d for $0.60, 0.5GB/1d for $2.00). Privacy-focused, no account needed, instant activation. Get yours at https://pikasim.com/download-jordan-esim-packages
Visa & Entry for Jordan citizens: As a Jordanian citizen, you don't need any visa or special entry requirements to visit or return to Amman. Simply carry your valid Jordanian national ID card or passport. No entry fees, forms, or pre-registration required.
Download Careem (Middle East's Uber) for safe, affordable rides around Amman. Much easier than negotiating taxi fares, especially at night. Most rides within the city cost 2-5 JOD.
Stay in Jabal Amman or Rainbow Street area for best access to nightlife, cafes, and other travelers. Downtown is cheaper but less social. Most hostels organize shared taxis to Petra/Dead Sea.
Friday is the main day off in Jordan. Many businesses close, but cafes and restaurants stay open. Great day for brunch and exploring quieter streets. Thursday nights are when locals party.
Learn basic Arabic greetings even though many speak English. 'Marhaba' (hello), 'Shukran' (thanks), and 'Yalla' (let's go) go a long way. Locals appreciate the effort and you'll get better service.
Amman's hills are steep! Wear comfortable walking shoes. The city is walkable in neighborhoods but you'll need rides between areas. Budget 20-30 JOD/day for transport if exploring multiple sites.
Join 'Amman Expats' or 'Couchsurfing Amman' Facebook groups before arriving. Regular meetups, hiking trips, and pub crawls. Easy way to meet other travelers and get local tips from expats.
