Beach near Amman, Jordan

Amman Travel Guide

Jordan

Amman is Jordan’s capital and a city of 2,232,240 people, spread across the country’s north-western highlands. It is an inland destination, so its appeal is centred on the city and surrounding region rather than a nearby coastline.

Travellers can fly into Queen Alia International Airport or Marka International Airport, both of which serve Amman. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so a beach visit requires travelling farther afield.
