Cost of living in Jordan — 2015

Amman:

Accommodation prizes: non, we bought our house without mortgage.

Public transportations: I don't use it often because we have two cars, but in some circumstances I use it, very cheap and depends on where you go

Food prizes: I buy fruit and veggies on a local market, bulk like rice, sugar, detergent, oil and other stuff at the so called Muassasah, and others at a supermarket nearby. In some cases special groceries at the Carrefour.
For five persons I spend around 300-350 dinar a month

Medical insurances: non

Education: two kids go to a private school: for this year we payed 3000 dinar and one child goes to a private school which is free of charge

Energy per month: 15 dinar per month, in wintertime about 10 dinar per month extra
Water per semester:  10 dinar

Internet and landline: 35 dinar, mobile 20 dinar for four  numbers
Television: non

Good menu in a local restaurant: around 15 dinar

Price coffee or drink: coffee 2 dinar, cocktail (non-alcohol) 3 dinar and alcohol is very expensive

Cinema: 8 dinar

Outdoor activities: up from 20 dinar

Museums: for the locals 1 dinar, foreigners between 3-5 dinar

Archeological sites: like Jerash 8 dinar, Dead Sea 30-50 dinar (depends which hotel you take) and Petra: 50 dinar

Clothes & shoes: from 5 dinar to  up the very expensive and exclusive brands
Second hand shops: from 50 cents to 30 dinar

Forgot to mention the gas bottles!!!

You buy once the bottle for 30 dinar and then you can change it every time.
Cost of change is 8 dinar.
Gas for cooking takes about 2-3 months before the bottle is empty. If I use it for the heater and the winter is soft then it takes 10 days. When its cold then I have to change it every week.
