Amman is the capital city of Jordan, and it has a population of over 2.8 million. Serving this large population is the Queen Alia International Airport, located about 20 miles from the city center, and the Amman City Airport in East Amman. Cheap flights from Amman can be found using Orbitz.com, and international flights will likely depart from the Queen Alia Airport. The smaller Amman City Airport only handles military and domestic flights, with some routes available to nearby countries. Some of the air carriers operating out of the Queen Alia Airport include British Airways, Lufthansa, Royal Jordanian and Austrian Airlines.
Parking is available at the airport on both a short-term and long-term basis. The long-term car park is a guarded area off the access road, with space for 680 vehicles. Transportation is provided from the lot to the terminal by shuttle van every 10 minutes. There are four short-term parks available near the terminals.
Transportation to the airport is provided by taxi service or public bus service. The taxis are metered, with costs of around $28 for the approximately 25-minute ride from the city to the airport. The buses are considerably less costly, with fares of around $2 for the 35-minute ride from city center.
For those looking to have a meal before leaving on one of the available cheap flights from Amman, 32 North at the Grand Hyatt Amman serves a delicious breakfast buffet featuring omelets and waffles. For a more traditional meal, Diwan Shahrayar in the Le Royal Hotel Amman offers several traditional Arabic favorites.
Booking flights to Tunis is easy with Orbitz.com. Just enter your destination, and Orbitz will recommend flights that fit your needs. Tunis-Carthage Airport, also referred to as Tunis Airport or Carthage International Airport, is the main airport in Tunis and is considered to be the premier airport in the country. It is roughly four miles northeast of the city center. Among the airlines serving Tunis Airport are TunisAir, SevenAir, Nouvelair Tunisia and Tunisavia. Lufthansa and Air France are its major international carriers.
The SNT bus line provides an easy ride from the airport to the city center. Another bus line, the TUT, offers a more luxurious ride to and from the airport for a slightly higher fare. Car rental services can be booked right at the arrival hall. Arriving passengers can choose from Avis, Budget, Hertz and Sixt. Metered taxis are also available just outside the terminal. Make sure that the meter fare is turned on, otherwise you might pay extra.
The climate of Tunis is typical of the Mediterranean: It's warm and dry during the summer and cold and wet during winter or rainy season. Summer temperatures, especially from April to August, can reach 40 degrees Celsius, but the cool breeze coming from the sea can ease the heat. November through March is the best time to visit the city, as the heat dissipates during these months. A holiday weather planner can be useful before you check into the city.
Most travelers in Tunis visit the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The medina of Tunis comprises of about 700 ancient monuments, mosques, mausoleums, fountains and madrasas that date back to as early as 723 AD. Other major attractions in the city are the Bardo Museum, the ruins of Carthage and the many cathedrals and mosques.
