Local Tips

  • Careem is more established than Uber in Jordan — download it before arrival.
  • Petra (Wadi Musa) is the unmissable day trip — approximately 3 hours by car from Amman.
  • Sariyah Airport Express bus connects AMM to central Amman (7th Circle) in ~45 min — far more affordable than a taxi.
  • Careem and Uber both work at AMM — pickup at the designated zone outside arrivals.
  • AMM airport taxi has a posted flat rate to the city zone — confirm at the booth, refuse curbside touts.
