Location and Transport
Jordan’s biggest and most state-of-the-art airport, the vast Queen Alia International Airport is located in Zizya, which is 18 miles (30 kilometres) from the centre of Amman. Sariyah shuttle buses ferry travellers to and from the airport and city, and they are the most frequent and cost-effective option. You can also hop in a taxi, which will take between 40–60 minutes and cost around JOD 25, depending on traffic.
Nearby Hotels and Airport Facilities
There’s just one hotel close to the airport, and most with shuttle services are found further out in Madaba (12 miles/18 kilometres away) or in the city itself. Queen Alia Airport is renowned for its Norman Foster-designed structure, which is inspired by the form of Bedouin tents, reflected in its canopy-style roof. Under this, travellers will find restaurants, shops and a spa, alongside showers and electronic device charging points.
Terminal Information
The airport is large but only has one terminal, which also acts as the main hub of Royal Jordanian Airlines.
