I can fly to just about anywhere in the world, from the USA, for around $1200. Yet, it costs me close to $3000 to fly to Amman, Jordan and Cairo, Egypt. I have tried all airlines, all directions (including a 14 hour layover in Dubai----the cheapest route and not convenient). Why does it cost so much!!?

It could cost more to enter those countries or to land at those airports. It is a long distance and you are paying fuel costs in your ticket. You could just be looking on the wrong days.

Supply and demand... if they don't need to discount the airfare, they won't. Remember that airlines are for-profit businesses, not public transportation.
Have you tried using an ethnic travel agent? They usually have better deals not available to the public.

that is the way life goes-not easy but i will pray it gets better flying for you-buisnesses want to stay in buisness and terrorism doesnt help
-and as to your ugly remards and your questioning of my -sharing Jesus-is better asked why you dont-your funny-Jesus said to go to all the world and share the gospel-then again some dont believe him -he is my savior and best friend and that makes me a true believer-am praying the blood of Jesus will set you free too
