Cost of Living in Amman

eqeman

Hello all,

I'm going to start working in Jordan for an international hotel chain as a management trainee and what they give as a salary for trainees is just about 450$ and provide free accommodation, free food within the duty and free transportation from the accommodation to the hotel as well. Is this money enough to survive? The region is near Dead Sea.

All answers are appreciated.
Thank you for your help
