Can I Sleep at Amman Queen Alia Airport Overnight?

Where is the Best Place to Sleep at Amman Airport?
According to traveller reviews, airside is the best spot for a night’s rest at Amman Airport. Good news if you are already through security, but not so great if you hope to rest at the airport before an early morning flight. If you are planning to stay overnight, one traveller has reported an area pre-security as the best spot:
- Landside – first floor in the right corner next to the Pharmacy. A quiet spot for a restful night’s sleep with no interruptions.
Other options for airport sleeping Airside include:
- Airside – International Departures Area near Gates 228 and 203
There is one report of a few slightly reclined chairs comfy for sleeping on, and the floor is carpeted, making it a bit more comfortable if you stretch out and nap there. If you choose to nap on the floor, we recommend bringing a sleep mat or a couple of extra layers to add comfort.

Safety & Security
We have not been informed of safety issues at Amman Airport. However, sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:
- Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
- Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
- Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
- Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
