Arriving by Air

Queen Alia International Airport is 32 kilometres (20 miles) south-east of Amman city centre and is Jordan's gateway to the world.

Getting Around Amman

All visitors need an International Driving Permit in order to drive in Jordan, where traffic drives on the right-hand side. The main roads in Amman are in a good state of repair, but minor roads and tracks should be avoided without an appropriate vehicle, a good supply of water and local advice!

All the major car hire companies are represented in Amman, some with drivers provided on a daily basis, and the city centre also has a reliable and inexpensive bus service. These are probably better options for newcomers to Amman.
