How much does it cost to rent a furnished apartment in Amman by the month?

As a baseline, yearly furnished one-bedrooms in West Amman ask a median JD 700 a month, and furnished two-bedrooms JD 1,000. Furnished apartments →

What is the difference between a serviced apartment and a short-term rental in Amman?

A serviced apartment is operated like a hotel, with housekeeping and a front desk, and often accepts long stays. A short-term rental is usually a private apartment let through a platform, with self check-in and cleaning between guests. Check deposits and fees: one Wadi Al-Seer serviced property lists a JD 50 stay deposit and a JD 50 damage deposit.

Where is the best area to stay in Amman for a short visit?

For cafés and walking, Jabal Amman and Rainbow Street, which Jordan Traveler calls the best place to stay, and Jabal Al-Weibdeh. For upscale dining and malls, Abdoun. For a modern central base, Abdali. Amman is not a very walkable city overall, so check the distance to what you plan to visit. Neighbourhood guide →

Is a short-term rental cheaper than a hotel in Amman?

For groups and stays of a week or more it often is, because you get a kitchen and more space. For one or two nights a hotel can match it once cleaning and service fees are added. Compare the total price including fees, not the nightly headline.

Do I need a licence to rent out short term in Amman?

We could not confirm Jordan's short-term rental licensing rules from official sources, and third-party sites rate Amman's regulation as light. Before listing, check with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Greater Amman Municipality, or ask a local lawyer. Ask us a question →

Can I rent a furnished apartment in Amman for a month or two?

Yes, but expect to pay more per month than on a yearly lease. Look at serviced apartments, monthly furnished lets and Airbnb-style stays with monthly discounts, and ask for the total price including utilities, cleaning and deposits. Rent in Amman →
