Jordan Airport Transfer : Airport to Your Hotel

Arriving at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman? Here's your complete guide to getting from the airport to your hotel quickly and hassle-free.

Jordan Airport Transfer

Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is located approximately 35 kilometres south of Amman's city centre. Navigating a new country after a long flight can be stressful — so planning your transfer in advance makes all the difference.

Your Transfer Options

Option 1: Pre-booked Private Transfer (Recommended)

Booking a private airport transfer in advance gives you peace of mind. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with your luggage, and drives you directly to your hotel.

  • No waiting, no negotiating
  • Fixed price agreed in advance
  • Available 24 hours, any time of day or night

With ORYXJOURNEY, you can book your airport transfer online before you travel. We monitor flight arrivals so if your flight is delayed, your driver waits for you at no extra charge. Many travellers also browse Jordan packages to plan the rest of their trip at the same time. For later sightseeing, consider a Petra visit via King's Road. For a direct journey from Queen Alia Airport to the Dead Sea, review the airport-to-Dead-Sea transfer.

Option 2: Taxi from the Rank

Official yellow taxis are available outside the arrivals hall. Negotiate a price before you get in or insist the meter is used.

  • Journey to the city centre: 20 to 35 JOD depending on traffic
  • Journey time: 40 to 60 minutes

Option 3: Airport Express Bus

A public bus runs between the airport and downtown Amman. It is inexpensive but less convenient with heavy luggage.

Tips for Your Arrival

  • Have your hotel address written in both English and Arabic
  • Exchange a small amount of Jordanian Dinar before leaving the airport
  • The Jordan Pass can be purchased online before arrival and covers your visa fee plus entry to over 40 sites
