Amman Queen Alia Lounges AMM: every lounge and how to get in
Queen Alia keeps it simple. Two airside lounges, both running 24 hours, both with showers, and both taking Priority Pass alongside paid entry. Here is which one to use and how to get in.
- Lounge verdict
- Small but strong. The Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge on Level 4 and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge on the mezzanine both open around the clock, both have showers, and both sell entry to any traveler. There is no Amex Centurion lounge here, and the old Petra Lounge has closed.
- Best access play
- Priority Pass opens both lounges, so a card gets you in regardless of airline or cabin. Without one, the Crown Lounge sells walk up entry at roughly JOD 30 and the Marhaba lounge takes paid entry too. Amex Platinum routes to the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge.
- The one thing to know
- The Petra Lounge closed permanently in December 2025, yet plenty of lounge apps and older guides still list it. Plan around the Crown Lounge and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge only. Verify before travel.
Orientation
How the Queen Alia lounge map works
The good news at AMM is that you do not have to plan around separated zones. Both lounges sit airside above the single central plaza, reachable from either pier, so wherever your gate is you can get to either one with a short walk. The duty free and dining area is the landmark; the lounges look down on it from the upper levels.
The Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge is the bigger name, on Level 4, run by the home carrier for its premium and oneworld passengers but open to anyone who buys in or holds Priority Pass. The Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge sits on the mezzanine balcony opposite, near the duty free area toward the higher numbered gates. Both run 24 hours, which is unusual and genuinely useful at a hub with a heavy late night and early morning bank. Hours and walk up prices still shift, so treat the figures below as verify at booking.
The lounges
Every AMM lounge and how to enter
| Lounge | Area and location | Access | Walk up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge | Airside, Level 4 above the central plaza | oneworld First and Business, Royal Jordanian elites, Priority Pass, DragonPass, pay in | From about JOD 30 | The flagship, 24 hours with showers and hot food; the default for most travelers |
| Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge | Airside, mezzanine balcony near duty free, toward the higher gates | Priority Pass, DragonPass, Amex Platinum, pay in online or at the door | Paid entry, price to be confirmed | The dependable alternative, also 24 hours with showers and a bar |
| Petra Lounge | Closed | None | Not available | Closed permanently in December 2025; still listed by some apps in error |
The practical takeaway is short. With Priority Pass either lounge works, so pick the nearer one. Without a card, the Crown Lounge is the easiest pay in at roughly JOD 30, while the Marhaba lounge often sells access online through resellers and at the door. Both have showers, which is the feature that matters most on a long connection or an overnight.
Access decoder
What actually opens these doors
Priority Pass covers both the Crown Lounge and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge, so a single card opens every working lounge at Queen Alia. The same is true of DragonPass and similar networks linked to your card, though you should confirm your specific membership before relying on it.
Paying at the door works at both. The Crown Lounge quotes roughly JOD 30 for walk up entry when it has space, and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge sells paid access online through travel resellers and at the desk, with the exact rate to be confirmed at booking. Either way, almost anyone can buy comfort here, which is not true at every regional hub.
American Express Platinum routes to the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge under the global lounge network, since there is no Centurion lounge at AMM. Status and class of travel cover the Crown Lounge for oneworld First and Business passengers and Royal Jordanian elites, and premium cabin passengers on partner carriers should check which lounge their ticket assigns on the day.
Because both lounges open 24 hours, the single most useful fact at Queen Alia is that you are rarely locked out by timing. Confirm the door and current hours on the day, since lounge operations still flex with the flight schedule and the occasional renovation.

FAQ
Amman lounge questions
Which AMM lounges take Priority Pass?
Both of them. The Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge on Level 4 and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge on the mezzanine near duty free both appear in the Priority Pass directory, so a single card opens either one regardless of your airline or cabin. The Petra Lounge that some apps still list has closed.
Can I pay to get into an Amman lounge without status?
Yes. The Crown Lounge sells walk up entry at roughly JOD 30 when it has space, and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge takes paid access online through travel resellers and at the door. Treat both prices as verify at booking, since rates shift.
Is there an Amex Centurion lounge at Amman?
No. Queen Alia has no Amex Centurion lounge. Amex Platinum cardholders use the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge through the global lounge network instead, and Priority Pass linked Amex cards work at both lounges.
Do the Amman lounges have showers?
Yes, both do. The Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge on Level 4 and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge each offer shower facilities, which makes either one a strong choice on a long connection or an overnight when you want to freshen up before the next flight.
Are the AMM lounges open 24 hours?
Yes. Both the Crown Lounge and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge run around the clock, which is genuinely useful at a hub with heavy late night and early morning departures. Hours can still flex with the schedule, so confirm on the day if you are relying on a 4am arrival.
Did a lounge close at Amman airport?
Yes. The Petra Lounge closed permanently in December 2025. Several lounge apps and older airport guides still list it, so plan around the Crown Lounge and the Marhaba Plaza Premium Lounge only.
