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.
