Car
From Ras Al Naqb, head northwest on the Desert Highway (Route 15). Continue driving for approximately 100 km until you reach the outskirts of Amman. Take the exit towards Al Madinah. Follow the signs to the city center. Upon arriving in central Amman, follow K. Ali Ben Al-Hussein St. until you reach Amman Citadel. There is parking available near the entrance, but be prepared for a small parking fee.
Public Transportation
From Ras Al Naqb, take a bus heading towards Amman. Look for the buses labeled for the city center. The journey will take around 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you arrive at the main bus station in Amman (Tabarbour Station), you can catch a local taxi or a ride-sharing service to Amman Citadel. Alternatively, you may find a local bus that goes directly to the citadel area. Expect to pay a small fee for the bus and an additional fare for the taxi if needed.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi from Ras Al Naqb to Amman Citadel. This option is more comfortable and faster, taking approximately 1.5 hours. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand or use a ride-sharing app for a more reliable estimate. The cost may vary, but you should expect to pay between 50-70 JOD for the trip.
