Jordan

Most international travellers arrive through Queen Alia International Airport in Amman. Direct connections are available from major cities across Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Domestic travel is typically by private vehicle, allowing easy access to Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea.

Jordan uses the Jordanian Dinar (JOD). Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and larger businesses, though cash remains useful in smaller towns and local markets. Budget around US$20-50 per day for personal expenses beyond your trip inclusions.

Many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or apply online before travel. Requirements change periodically, so travellers should verify current regulations before departure.

Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer the most comfortable temperatures. Summers can be very hot, particularly in desert regions, while winters bring cooler weather and occasional rain.

Jordan offers a mix of boutique desert camps, heritage guesthouses, luxury resorts, and internationally recognised hotels. Many properties focus on local architecture and authentic hospitality.

Jordanian culture values hospitality, respect, and generosity. Modest dress is appreciated, particularly at religious sites and in rural communities. Greetings and conversation are an important part of daily life.
