Practical tips for Jordan
- Purchase the 'Jordan Pass' online before your trip to waive your entry visa fee and gain prepaid access to over 40 attractions, including Petra.
- Jordan uses the Jordanian Dinar (JOD), and while cards are standard in major hotels and restaurants, always carry physical cash for taxis, souks, and tipping.
- Dress modestly outside international beach resorts by keeping shoulders and knees covered to respect local cultural norms, particularly when visiting historic towns and religious sites.
Fun fact about Jordan
Jordan's iconic archaeological treasure, Petra, was carved directly into sandstone cliffs by the Nabataean civilization over 2,000 years ago, yet more than 80% of the ancient city is believed to remain unexcavated underground!
