Taxis in Amman
Yellow taxis are cheap but insist on the meter. Uber and Careem also work. Amman is hilly — walking is exhausting. Taxis are the practical daily option.
🚕 Getting around in Jordan
Getting around Jordan is one of the first things you figure out as a visitor or expat. Taxis, metro lines, buses and the unwritten rules locals follow shape your daily routine more than any guidebook.
In Jordan, getting around comes down to a few things: taxis in amman, jett buses, and renting a car.
JETT buses
JETT runs comfortable buses from Amman to Petra (3 hours), Aqaba (4 hours), and the Dead Sea. Book at the JETT office or online. Reliable and affordable.
Renting a car
The best way to see Jordan. The King's Highway from Amman to Petra is one of the world's great road trips. Roads are good. Driving is assertive but manageable.
