I will share some experiences:
Airport: Arriving in the the night in the new terminal Queen Alia Airport.. Passport/Visa very quick: 20 JD. There is a possibility to change (bad exchange rate, exchange only for visa and taxi at home is better).
Taxi in the night (organizing by Jordan Tower Hotel: 32 JOD)
Jordan Tower Hotel: Very nice location, a good hostel, nice staff (see my assessment tripadvisor.de)
Taxi price from downtown to tabarbour bus station 2,50 JOD plus tip
Bus to Jerash: 0,85 JOD one way
Jafra Restaurant & Cafe: Very best of. Down Town - Opposite The Post Office Amman. Very nice also a lot of Jordans, good price and delicious.
Car Hire: very good experience Monte Carlo Rent a car, pick up Amman Hotel, drop off Madaba Hotel, 8 days: 278 JOD: perfect service; no problem to be a self driver in Jordan!
Route via desert castles (Qasr Azraq and Qasr Kharaneh) in the east desert and via Maan to Wadi Musa: It is possible in one day.
Mussa Spring Hotel: very easy hotel, no renovation, neglected.

Bedouin Village Camp: Perfect location, outside from Aqaba, snorkeling very good, good eating, equipment 6 JOD per day (see my assessment tripadvisor.de).
Dana Tower Hotel: lovely Hotel, wonderful environment (see my assessment tripadvisor.de).
Madaba Rumman Hotel, very ok (see my assessment tripadvisor.de).
Dead Sea experience: Amman Tourism Beach: Only 11 JOD when you go to the Jordan public beach. But is very diffucult for women and young girls. A lot of gaper. It is better to go to the tourism side (more money but better infrastructure).
Taxi to the airport from Madaba: 12 JOD plus tip.
