Amman to Dead Sea DIY Trip for Just 6 JD Round-Trip
Traveling solo in Amman can be expensive, especially with transportation—but here’s how I did a budget-friendly Dead Sea day trip for only 6 JD! Step-by-Step Guide 1️⃣ From Amman: Head to Muhajireen Bus Station (we walked since our hostel was nearby). Take a minibus to Rama Mall (1 JD, ~1 hour). Last return bus to Amman leaves at 5 PM! 2️⃣ At Rama Mall: Find a shared taxi to Free Beach (~3 JD/person one-way, 20 mins). Pro tip: We hitchhiked successfully (saved money—total round-trip: 6 JD!). Private taxis cost 15-20 JD (negotiate if needed). Key Tips ⚠️ Avoid tourist traps: Some drivers drop you at "free" beaches with pushy vendors—insist on the beach near Aqaba (quieter, prettier). ⏰ Watch your time: Don’t miss the last bus back! 🌊 Safety first: Check shallow areas—salt crusts are razor-sharp (I got cuts on my hands/feet!). 🍞 Pack snacks/lunch: No restaurants en route. 🚿 Bring a big water bottle: To rinse off—beach showers cost 2 JD (not worth it!). Why This Route? Cheapest option for solo travelers. Authentic experience (hitchhiking optional but fun!). #TravelHacks #BudgetTravel #DeadSea #Jordan #Backpacking #SoloTravel #SeeTheWorld
