Hi, Mandilulur, i checked the website, it said the distance from mosaic city to dead sea is slightly more than 10km, so i think it's still consider easy and convenient to go to dead sea, then night time back to mosaic city to rest. hotel in dead sea area are very expensive.

Do you mean Madaba when you say mosaic city? 2 nights is too much. Stay at one of the Dead Sea resorts instead.

1. taxi fare from airport to mosaic city.

2. from mosaic city to dead sea.

3. from mosaic city to petra.

4. from petra to amman.

5. what are the entrance fees inccured during the journey.

Saeed - That tarnished my stay and has left a mark for me :o(

OP - Amman is known as the city of seven hills, but it now spans over an area of nineteen hills. Don't try walking!!!

Make sure you visit the car museum and take a trip out to Jeraish

Taxis can be expensive, I found the bus system very affordable and easy.

Taxi is easiest way to get around, you will find anywhere at anytime.. Just be careful they don't rip you off, especially if you're a tourist...
