Getting Around Amman

Taxis are the most common way to navigate Amman; a trip from Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) to the city center costs approximately 10-15 JOD and takes 30-45 minutes. Rideshare apps like Careem are widely used and reliable. For those on a budget, the Sariyah Airport Express bus costs 3.30 JOD but may involve longer wait times and a 60-minute travel duration.

Practical Tips for Amman

Purchase the Jordan Pass before arrival to cover your visa fee and entrance to major sites like the Citadel and Jerash.

Tipping is customary; rounding up taxi fares or adding 10% in restaurants is standard practice.

In Amman and popular tourist areas, modest dress (shoulders and knees covered) is highly respected, especially for women.

Use reputable rideshare apps like Careem for fair, transparent pricing on city travel.

Carry a physical copy of your passport; as a solo female traveler, dressing conservatively will reduce unwanted attention.

Friday is the local weekend; many businesses may be closed or have limited hours.

When visiting religious sites, always ask for permission before taking photographs of locals.
