Jordan: Facts & Stats

TRANSPORTATION

Roads:

Jordan's transportation facilities are underdeveloped, but improvements have been made in recent years. A good road network links the principal towns and connects with Syria, Iraq, and Sa'udi Arabia. In 2002 all of Jordan's estimated 8,000 km (4,971 mi) of road was paved. Passenger automobiles numbered 107,500; trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles totaled 91,800 in 2000.

Highways

• Total: 8,000 km
• Paved: 8,000 km
• Unpaved: 0 km

Railroads:

• Total: 507 km - narrow gauge of 1,050 mm (3 ft 5 1/3 in) (2008)

The rail system is a section of the old Hijaz railway for Muslim pilgrims. It runs from the Syrian border through 'Amman to Ma'an, where it connects with a spur line to the port of Al-'Aqabah. Reconstruction of the section from Ma'an to Medina in Sa'udi Arabia, which had been destroyed in World War I, was undertaken in the early 1970s as a joint venture by Jordan, Sa'udi Arabia, and Syria.

Aviation:

The major airport is the Queen Alia International Airport, about 30 km (19 mi) south of 'Amman, which was opened in the early 1980s. Aqaba Airport is the other international airport. The government-owned Alia-Royal Jordanian Airline operates domestic and international flights.
