Amman Airport to Petra Private Transfer: 3-Hour Drive

Three hours on the King's Highway, door to door without negotiating at the curb

A private transfer between Amman Queen Alia International Airport and Petra City Hotel takes three hours via the King's Highway in a new air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver. The driver meets you at your arrival point or hotel. You provide your flight details and hotel information at booking and receive a travel voucher with the driver's contact number to confirm your exact pickup time. One suitcase and one carry-on bag per person are included.

The experience

The transfer operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so your arrival time or departure schedule sets the meeting point, not the other way around. You'll be picked up from Amman Queen Alia International Airport or from Petra City Hotel and driven the full route in a new leisure vehicle with generous legroom, air conditioning and onboard Wi-Fi. The driver is English-speaking and meets you with a greeting service at the airport or waits at your hotel. The journey itself is the transfer, not a sightseeing tour, so the focus stays on getting you there rested and on time.

The price is per person and scales with group size. One to seven adults can share a single vehicle. Each traveler gets one suitcase and one carry-on bag included. Oversized luggage like surfboards or golf clubs needs to be confirmed with the operator before you book. The driver will wait up to 60 minutes at your pickup point if your flight is delayed or you need time to collect luggage and meet your party. Confirmation arrives at booking unless you reserve within three days of travel, in which case you'll hear back within 48 hours, subject to availability.
