About Jordan

Jordan is a land of ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and warm hospitality. Nestled in the heart of the Middle East, this diverse country offers travelers a unique blend of cultural heritage, natural wonders, and modern amenities. From the world-famous archaeological marvel of Petra to the vast deserts of Wadi Rum, and from the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea to the bustling markets of Amman, Jordan has something for every type of traveler.

Home to over 11 million people, Jordan is a vibrant mix of cultures and communities, including a strong Bedouin heritage and a deep-rooted tradition of welcoming guests. The country’s varied geography spans arid deserts, lush valleys, ancient ruins, and thriving urban centers—each offering its own window into the region’s rich past and dynamic present.

Known for its safety, stability, and friendly atmosphere, Jordan is an ideal destination for families, solo explorers, and group travelers alike. Whether you’re retracing biblical footsteps, sharing tea in a desert camp, or embarking on outdoor adventures, Jordan delivers unforgettable experiences that connect you deeply to its people, history, and remarkable landscapes.

Visa & Entry Requirements

Most visitors to Jordan can get a visa on arrival at the airport or border. Some nationalities need to apply in advance — check with the Jordanian embassy in your country before you travel.

Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. If you’re traveling with a group or booking a full tour with us, we can help guide you through the visa process.

Health & Safety

Jordan is a safe country with friendly locals and a stable environment for tourists. You don’t need special vaccinations, but it’s smart to be up to date on routine ones.

Bring your own medications and a copy of any prescriptions. Stick to bottled water, especially outside of big cities.

Hospitals and clinics in places like Amman and Aqaba are modern and reliable. If you’re traveling with us, our team is always ready to assist if needed.

Currency & Payments

The currency in Jordan is the Jordanian Dinar (JOD).

Credit and debit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and larger shops. But it’s a good idea to carry some cash for small stores, local markets, and tips.

ATMs are easy to find in cities and tourist areas. Currency exchange is available at airports, banks, and exchange offices.

Weather & Best time to visit

Jordan enjoys warm, sunny weather most of the year — perfect for exploring its landscapes and historic sites. The best times to visit are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when the weather is pleasantly warm and ideal for sightseeing.

Summer brings plenty of sunshine, especially in the desert, so it’s great for those who don’t mind the heat. Winter is mild in many areas, though you may see rain and even a bit of snow in the north — adding a unique charm to the experience.

Packing Tips

Pack light, comfortable clothing for warm days, and bring a jacket or sweater for cooler nights. If you plan to visit religious sites, be sure to wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun, comfortable walking shoes for exploring, a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, and a travel adapter — Jordan uses types C, D, F, and G plugs.
