Sleeping in Aqaba Airport
We do not have any recent sleep-related airport reviews, but past reviews indicate that seating is uncomfortable, and you should be prepared to sleep on the floor. Have a backup plan if you’re planning to spend the night. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer shuttle service. See Airport Hotels in the guide below or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
