Getting around from the pier

On foot

From Aqaba Cruise Terminal the central streets are a 10–20 minute walk. Port areas are busy and well policed; the usual care with bags in crowded markets is enough. Note your ship's all-aboard time — it is local port time, not ship time.

Free

Taxi

Metered taxis wait outside the terminal and fares are regulated and inexpensive. Ride-hailing apps work in the main cities.

Pay in JOD — Around 10% is normal in restaurants, and small tips for drivers and guides are appreciated.

Port shuttle

Most ships run a complimentary or low-cost shuttle from the berth to the terminal gate or town centre; check the daily programme for the last return time.

Free or a few JOD return

Money & language

Local currency is JOD. Cards are accepted in restaurants and larger shops. Carry small notes for market stalls, taxis and craft studios; the nearest ATMs are usually at the terminal gate or on the first shopping street. The main language is Arabic, and English is widely understood around the port. Free Wi-Fi is common in terminal buildings and cafes; an eSIM data plan is the cheapest way to stay online ashore (country dialling code +962).
