Traffic in Jordan

What is the traffic like?  It's horrible, awful, irritating.  It will make you swear, have a headache and make you want to leave.  Parking?  What parking?  There is no parking and if you pull in, no one will wait and let you out.  What time is the best?  None.  Ok, maybe 3 am on a Tuesday.  Makes me wish I could fly.  No area is good except maybe Wadi Rum out in the sand.  If you drive you better be really good at it and have a lot of patience and anger.  If you're not cussing, you're dead!

If you can drive in Jordan, you can drive anywhere.  Lines don't matter, vehicles pull in wherever there may (or may not) be room.  You have to drive deliberately, be extremely aware of where a car can come from from any direction, and react quickly.  It's a free for all, it's a lesson in defensive driving to the extreme.

Good luck!
