Taxis

Official airport taxis are readily available 24/7 outside the arrivals hall. Fares to Aqaba city center are generally fixed; it is recommended to confirm the price with the driver before departure. The journey to the city center takes about 15-20 minutes. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Careem also operate in the area, but their availability at the airport can be less consistent than official taxis.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies have service desks located within the airport's arrivals terminal. Major international brands like Sixt, Avis, Budget, and Hertz are present, alongside local providers. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak travel seasons. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is often required in addition to your valid home country driver's license.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public bus or train service connecting King Hussein International Airport to Aqaba city center. The most practical options for reaching the city are by taxi, rental car, or a pre-booked private shuttle. Some hotels in Aqaba may also offer airport transfer services for their guests, which should be arranged in advance.
