Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Amman, Jordan
Here is what to know before booking a flight to Amman from Montreal.
From Montreal, fares to Amman usually run between $1150 and $1400. The best fare spotted recently is $1167 (about 3% below the typical price).
Built across nineteen hills, Amman is Jordan's easygoing capital and the perfect base for the whole country. Sip cardamom coffee in a downtown café, climb to the ancient Citadel for sunset, then watch the old Roman Theatre glow below. From here, Petra, the floating salt of the Dead Sea, and the red dunes of Wadi Rum are all within reach. Warm, safe, and endlessly hospitable, Amman rewards anyone who slows down and says yes to the next cup of tea!
When to go
Spring, from March to May, and autumn, from September to November, are ideal, with warm days and cool nights that suit both city walks and desert trips. Summers are hot and dry, especially out at Petra and Wadi Rum, while winters can be surprisingly cold with occasional snow in Amman. Shoulder seasons also mean thinner crowds at the big sites, so aim for spring or fall if you can.
Getting there from Montreal
There is no nonstop from Quebec. From Quebec City (YQB) connect through Montreal (YUL) or Toronto, then on to a European hub such as Frankfurt, London, or Paris, or a Gulf hub like Doha or Dubai, before the leg to Amman. Royal Jordanian and several partners serve these routes. Plan on well over a day door to door with a long layover, and a time difference of about seven hours ahead of Quebec.
What to see and do
- The hilltop Citadel with its Temple of Hercules
- The restored Roman Theatre in the downtown core
- Day trips to Petra and the red sands of Wadi Rum
- Floating effortlessly in the salty Dead Sea
Good to know before you go
Getting around is simple with Uber and Careem, which are widely used, cheap, and take the guesswork out of fares; regular taxis are everywhere too, so ask for the meter or agree on a price first. The currency is the Jordanian dinar, and cash is handy for small shops and tips. Arabic is the language, but English is common in the capital and tourist areas. Drink bottled water, and dress modestly at religious sites by covering shoulders and knees. A few words of Arabic go a long way.
