Irbid Getting there & around

Getting around

Getting between Irbid's various bus stations is easy, with service taxis (120 fils) and minibuses (100 fils) shuttling between them and the centre. Service taxis and minibuses to the South bus station can be picked up on Radna al-Hindawi St, while for the North station head to Prince Nayef St. For the West station take a bus from Palestine St, just west of the roundabout.

The standard taxi fare from the centre (al-Bilad) to the university (al-Jammiya) is 500 fils; few taxis use meters in Irbid. A minibus from University St to the university gate costs 110 fils. Otherwise it's a 25-minute walk.

If you have a car be aware that the one-way roads and lack of parking can make driving a stressful experience.
