Car Hire Aqaba Useful Information

Here's what you can expect when driving in Aqaba:

1. Road Conditions:

  • The quality of roads in Aqaba varies. Major roads and highways are generally well-maintained, but you may encounter potholes and uneven surfaces on some secondary roads, especially in less developed areas.

2. Traffic:

  • Aqaba is not as congested as larger cities in Jordan like Amman, but it still experiences traffic, especially during peak hours. Traffic congestion is less common, but it's a good idea to plan your trips during non-peak times if possible.

3. Road Signs:

  • Road signs are typically in Arabic, but you'll often find important signs and destinations labeled in both Arabic and English, making it easier for international travelers to navigate.

4. Driving Culture:

  • The driving culture in Aqaba and Jordan, in general, can be a bit different from what you might be used to. It's not uncommon for drivers to be assertive and for road rules to be interpreted more loosely. Defensive driving is essential, and patience can go a long way.

5. Speed Limits:

  • Pay attention to posted speed limits, as they are enforced. Speed limits are typically in kilometers per hour (kph).

6. Pedestrians and Animals:

  • Be vigilant for pedestrians and animals on the roads, especially in rural or less developed areas. It's not uncommon to encounter herds of goats or other animals.

7. Parking:

  • Parking in Aqaba can be a challenge, especially in the city center. Be prepared to look for parking areas and possibly pay a fee for parking in some areas.

8. Navigation:

  • GPS or navigation apps can be valuable for finding your way around Aqaba and its surroundings. Many car rental companies offer GPS devices for an additional fee.

9. Seat Belts:

  • It's mandatory to wear seat belts while driving in Jordan. Failure to do so can result in fines.

Aqaba is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful landscapes of southern Jordan, including the Red Sea, Wadi Rum, and Petra. While driving in Aqaba may be different from what you're accustomed to, it can be a rewarding way to explore the region and experience its unique culture and attractions.

If you are heading, there from Europe you will need to fly into Amman first and then make a connection there. Both BA and Royal Jordanian fly there from Heathrow whilst easyJet offer a no-frills flight from Gatwick.
