Embarking on a journey through Amman, Jordan, is an immersive experience that often starts with hailing a taxi. As I ventured into the heart of the city, the kaleidoscope of Amman’s vibrant streets unfolded before me, each taxi ride revealing a new layer of the city’s charm.

Storytellers, honking horns and Arabic tunes

The taxis in Amman are more than mere vehicles; they are storytellers of the city’s rhythm. Flagging down a yellow taxi, I stepped into a world where conversations, honking horns, and the melodies of Arabic tunes resonated against the city’s historical backdrop.

Each taxi driver seemed to possess a treasury of tales about Amman, willingly shared during the rides. Their pride in showcasing the city’s landmarks, recommending hidden gems, or divulging snippets of local history was as much a part of the journey as the physical movement.

Impressive Mastery of Amman’s intricate routes

Navigating the city’s web of streets, the drivers displayed an impressive mastery of Amman’s intricate routes. From the lively chaos of Downtown to the serene landscapes surrounding the city, the taxi rides became a gateway to witness the dynamic contrasts of Amman’s urban tapestry.

The vibrant mosaic of cultures also painted itself within the confines of these taxis. Conversations in Arabic mixed with occasional English phrases echoed the multicultural fabric of the city. It was in these moments that I felt a part of Amman’s diverse and welcoming community.

Warm Hospitality and Eagerness to Share Insights

Despite the bustling traffic and the occasional bursts of honking horns, each taxi ride carried a sense of camaraderie. The drivers, with their warm hospitality and eagerness to share insights, transformed simple rides into memorable cultural exchanges.

As I traversed the city in these taxis, each journey became a microcosm of Amman itself—multi-layered, welcoming, and pulsating with life. The taxi rides were not just a means of transport; they were gateways to unravel the enigmatic charm of Jordan’s capital city.

In Amman, the journey in a taxi is not solely about reaching a destination but about embracing the vivacious spirit and soul of the city itself.

NOTE: We take the taxi within Amman many times and pay around 1,5 to 2 JOD per time. Ask the taxi driver how much it costs to go to your destination inside Amman. But as you probably notice it’s fairly cheap compared to other major cities.

Taxi vs. Careem: Navigating Amman’s Transportation Dynamics

In the intricate web of Amman’s transportation, the clash between traditional taxis and the modern convenience of ride-hailing apps like Careem presents a fascinating dichotomy. Taxis, with their vibrant allure and tales of the city, offer a cultural immersion unmatched by algorithms. On the flip side, Careem embodies efficiency and ease, providing a seamless ride at the tap of a screen. While taxis weave stories and local wisdom into the journey, Careem excels in reliability and technology. Each holds its distinct charm, catering to different preferences amidst Amman’s diverse tapestry, offering travelers varied avenues to explore this captivating city.

NOTE: Traveling inside Amman with Careem instead of a taxi costs an average 1 to 2 JOD more per travel.
