Many thanks for your responses guys.
007Helicopter I'll drop you a PM.
I'd appreciate it if anyone else has any other tips!
500 above, you are right, I would have to be flying out of Amman as Aqaba is too far away.
It's probably a bit of a push, but would anyone be able to rent out a plane for me to fly solo, as I would as a PPL here in the UK? I was kind of hoping to take my family out there for a spin.
I think I will pay a visit to the schools in any case when I head there this month!
