Local tip
AMM is 35km from downtown — Airport Express (JOD 3.50, 45 min) is the budget option; taxis JOD 22-28 if negotiated upfront. Amman is the safest Arab capital for transit visitors. For 6-hour layovers: Citadel + Hashem falafel is the perfect combo. Avoid Fridays before 1pm (most things shut).
