Cost of living in Jordan - 2017 by Priscilla
Hello, Before moving to Jordan, it is important to investigate the cost of living in the country. As we did in 2015, we give you the opportunity to share your experience and tell us more about products and services average recorded prices in ...

In my opinion, it is very expensive to live a good life in Jordan. It depends on your lifestyle and what you enjoy. Rent for a decent place and in a decent area is between 9000 and 12000 Dinars per year. Many landowners would like the year to be ... Read More

Arabs are safe to walk everywhere and they do walk everywhere, right in the middle of the street even. But being an EXPAT site and talking about people being safe, °µÍø½ûÇøs have a very different experience than local Arabs. °µÍø½ûÇøs and women in ... Read More

Absolutely right! No doubt this guy has nothing to offer, most likely has no degree or proffessional background, he just wants a ticket out like all the rest. Start asking the deep questions and hopefully you will get some truth, but frankly I ... Read More
