💰 7D6N Jordan Budget Trip Guide (Under $350!) 🇯🇴

From Damascus → Amman → Dead Sea → Petra → Aqaba → Egypt (Nuweiba). Total cost: $340 (2432 RMB). 1️⃣ Border Crossing 🛂 Free visa hack: Show Aqaba hotel booking + onward ticket might get you free entry (hit or miss!). 🎟️ Jordan Pass (73 JD) covers visa + Petra + sites (worth it if visiting Petra/Wadi Rum). I paid 55 JD separately for Roman Theatre + Citadel + Petra. 2️⃣ Money Matters 💵 Currency: 1 JD ≈ $1.4 / ¥10.2 Best rates: USD cash exchange (buses/Chinese restaurants) ATMs charge 3-5 JD fee (max 250 JD withdrawal). 3️⃣ Transport Hacks 🚖 Amman taxis: 5km: 1.5 JD | 10km: 3 JD | 20km: 5 JD (always haggle!). 🚌 Key routes: Amman → Dead Sea: Bus (1 JD) + shared taxi (1.5 JD) to free beach (water’s murky—better pay 10 JD for hotel beach + shower). Amman → Petra: JETT bus (10 JD, 6:30 AM from Abdali Station). Petra → Aqaba: Local bus (5 JD, departs 8:30 AM). Aqaba → Egypt: Ferry (55 JD) + departure tax (10 JD). 4️⃣ Cheap Stays 🏠 Amman: DT View Guesthouse (15 JD, near Citadel—basic but central). 🏜️ Petra: AL-Rashid Hotel (15 JD, clean + fast WiFi, 30-min walk to Petra). 🌊 Aqaba: Pizza Street Hostel (6 JD bunk, kitchen access). 5️⃣ Pro Tips ▫️ Free beach alert: Dead Sea’s free spots are grimy—splash out 10 JD for a hotel day pass. ▫️ Petra transport: Skip the 15 JD tourist bus—local buses to Wadi Rum/Aqaba cost 3-5 JD. #JordanOnABudget #BackpackingJordan #TravelHacks #Petra #DeadSea
