By taxi
Taxis are easily available in the city. A ride within town should cost no more than 2 JD. A ride outside town to a beach near by or to any border crossings costs around 5 JD. However, if your hotel calls you a taxi, you may end up paying double for it as they receive a kickback this is especially true if you are staying on the South Beach.
While taxis are yellow all around Jordan, early 2008 Aqaba taxis have been painted green and blue: the logo colours of Aqaba Special Economic Zone ASEZ.
When negotiating the price of a taxi, make sure to determine whether the final cost is the total or "per-person" price, as you may otherwise receive a surprise at the end of the ride.
