Jordanian nationals.
Getting There by Rail
The Hejaz Railway , operates
twice a week on the old Ottoman
track between Amman and Damascus
(Syrian Arab Republic). It uses
ancient rolling stock and takes
about 9 hours. It is really only
worth making the journey for the
experience. The journey by car takes
about half the time.
Getting There by Road
There are roads into the Syrian Arab
Republic via Ramtha or Jaber. The
route to/from the Syrian Arab
Republic to Western Europe is
through Turkey. Driving time from
Amman to Damascus is 4 hours. From
Egypt, there is a ferry connection
from Nuweiba to Aqaba, with bus
connections from Cairo (visa should
be obtained in advance).
Multiple-entry visas may be needed.
