GPS & Navigation in Amman: Best Ways to Get Around
In a city of hills and roundabouts, a good navigation system isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. Here's how to ensure you never get (permanently) lost in Amman.
Recommended Apps
Google Maps: The gold standard in Jordan. It has the most up-to-date traffic data and business listings. Waze: Increasingly popular in Amman for real-time traffic and speed camera alerts. Maps.me: The best option for offline navigation if you don't have a local SIM card.
Data and Connectivity
We highly recommend picking up a local SIM card (Zain, Orange, or Umniah) at the airport. They are cheap (around 10-15 JOD for a month of data) and will ensure your GPS is always live and accurate.

Are the GPS coordinates accurate for hotels?
Usually yes, but it's always a good idea to have the hotel's phone number handy just in case the final '100 meters' are confusing.
Do rental cars come with built-in GPS?
Some premium models do, but your smartphone is almost always more up-to-date and easier to use.
