Queen Alia International Airport — What to Expect

Queen Alia International Airport is Jordan's main gateway, serving the capital Amman and providing access to the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea and the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum. Located 35 km south of the city, the modern airport handles 9 million passengers per year. A pre-booked transfer is the most convenient option for reaching Amman's hilly city center or heading directly to the Dead Sea resorts, which are about 45 minutes from the airport.

Queen Alia Airport has a modern terminal designed by Foster + Partners. The airport is Jordan's primary international hub and the base for Royal Jordanian Airlines.
