Travel Tips for Jordan

Getting Around

Taxis are widely available and affordable, with both regular and shared options. Car rentals are a great way to explore at your own pace, but driving in cities can be chaotic. Public buses and private minibuses connect major cities and tourist sites, while guided tours are popular for remote areas like Wadi Rum and Petra.

Best Time To Visit

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer pleasant weather, ideal for exploring outdoor attractions. Summer can be extremely hot, especially in desert areas, while winter is cooler and less crowded.

Local Customs

Jordanians are known for their hospitality; it’s common to be invited for tea or coffee. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas and religious sites. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. Always use your right hand for eating and greeting, as the left is considered unclean.

Safety Information

Jordan is generally safe, but always stay aware of your surroundings and follow local advice.

Visa Requirements

Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or apply for an e-visa in advance. Some nationalities are visa-exempt.

Health Information

No mandatory vaccinations are required, but Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines are recommended. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun, especially in desert areas.
