Happy New Year, Travelers.
Returning to Amman after 2 days in Petra to catch a 5:10am flight to Cairo. Probably taking the JETT bus to Amman, arriving around 8pm. After having dinner, it barely makes sense to find a hotel for the few hours before the flight. Will the airport allow us to stay for the few hours?
Another option is to stay for the Petra At Night and then negotiate for a taxi ride from Petra to Amman.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
There will be little problem staying in the airport for a few hours ---but it isn't the most exciting airport in the world so take plenty of books, magazines plus some snacks/drinks.
I remember reading that night driving in Jordan isn't recommended. Looking around it's really something that tourists seems to be advised against rather than taxi drivers (who are a law unto themselves anywhere in the world).
Even so, I think I'd rather have a late finishing dinner in Amman and then a few hours in the airport if that's an option.

Thanks for the info, folks.
There are actually a few flights coming in and out of Amman airport at night hours, so it's open and not toally dead at night.
You will for sure not have any problem being allowed to stay there.
And there is no safety problems when driving at night in Jordan, except that you might have to be careful not hitting a wild camel, but they mostly live in the southern part of the country.
It that true?
with the weather being the way it is these last couple of years who can predict, but I would think for most of the time it has been fair weather in December here in Jordan, it really starts getting cold around mid January and up until April, nothing comparable to the cold you see in some parts of the sates i.e. North Dakota or Minnesota and some European countries.
A key component of Jordanian culture is the drinking and sharing of tea or coffee. This makes the shops very popular and a great place to sit down and meet some locals. Jordanian Arabic coffee is strong and served in tiny cups it is often flavored with cardamom. Shake the cup to indicate that you do not want a refill. Tea is served in small glasses and is usually a very sweet tea with fresh mint.
Located on the Jabal Weibdeh, one of the seven mounts of Amman, this place is literally an oasis in the middle of the city. A couple of houses in the middle of a charming little garden shelter several art exhibitions.
Following a walk in the busy center, the quietness of this area is refreshing.
What could be better than strolling in the garden, relaxing close to the ruins of the byzantine church or enjoying some drink in the Cafe des Artistes...
Don't spread the word too much, leave this little jewel far from the crowd...
Blue fig - it is European-stilled club. Both European and modern local music playing. Pretty girls:))
You can also try some nargille club - traditional places serving hubly-bubbly, but no alcohol...pitty...at least they could served beer :)
Try the coctails in the Blue Fig - very tasty! Put whatever you like.
I flew to Amman (via Abu Dhabi) from Johannesburg with Ethiad Airways. It was my first time to fly with this airline, and had a good experience.
The staff is very professional and service is friendly. The in-flight entertainment and food was more than satisfactory.
I will definitely fly with them again.
