The food in Jordan is excellent with plenty of choice for vegetarian dishes. Food prices are also good. For example, in a restaurant or bar you pay an average of 2 JOD (2.50 euros) for soft drinks. You can easily charge 5 euros for alcohol. For a complete meal of three courses you pay about 8 euros in the non-tourist regions. In the tourist regions you can count twice.
Accommodation
