Succeeded! Bus from Amman to Nazareth

The bus line actually exists!

Bus stop in Amman is very tricky, it's outside a closed hotel named Maraya Hotel, about 30 minutes taxi from downtown. I went there from Jerash so not sure about the exact distance and price, maybe around 10 JD. Taxi drivers know this place.

Doors and windows of the hotel is broken, on the right side there is another hotel named Palmira Hotel. You will see some people and taxis waiting there, but the place doesn't look like a bus station at all.

There are two buses one day. Trust company leaves at 8am cost 30 JD reservation must be made 0096279692-7455 however I chose Nazarene bus company, which leaves at 14:00, tickets available onboard, cost 75 NIS. It actually comes from Nazareth, so the departure time may vary from 13:30 to 14:30, best arrive before 13:30.

I'm still not sure about the timetable but I took the bus on Sunday, and it also runs on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Exchange rate at the border is extremely outrageous. But since I don't have enough NIS with me I have to change some money. So better do it before hand.

Jodan exit tax is 8 JD, no Israel entrance fee.

Bus stop in Nazareth also a little bit far from the old city, taxi may cost 30-40 NIS. But the point is, I made it! Bus from Amman to Nazareth!

btw it takes no more than 5 hours, and due to different time zone you save an extra hour:)
