How to Get There
Getting to Jordan is fairly straightforward, with most international travelers arriving through Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman. Royal Jordanian Airlines, offers direct flights from major cities such as New York (JFK), London Heathrow (LHR), Paris, and various hubs across the Middle East and Asia.
From the airport, it’s about a 30–40 minute drive to central Amman, and you can either take a taxi, pre-book a transfer, or use a ride-hailing app like Careem.
If you’re planning to explore places like Petra or Wadi Rum, it’s best to rent a car. You can rent a car at the airport or arrange local tours starting from Amman.
