Jordan Frequently Asked Questions and Useful Information for Travel

Is it still safe to travel to Jordan right now?

Yes, it is generally safe to travel to most of Jordan, but exercise increased caution due to the threat of terrorism and a volatile regional security situation. Avoid areas near the Syrian and Iraqi borders due to conflict and terrorism risk, and be prepared for heightened security and potential demonstrations at any time. Travelers should follow official advisories, stay informed on events, take precautions against crime and sexual assault, and ensure they have comprehensive travel insurance. Terrorist groups pose a risk and may target sites visited by foreigners, including hotels, tourist attractions, and markets. There is a heightened risk of terrorism and armed conflict near the Syrian and Iraqi borders, specifically within 3.5 km of the Jordan-Syria border and east of Ruwayshid toward the Iraq border. The complex regional security environment means the situation can change quickly.

Is Jordan worth traveling to?

Jordan is one of the most rewarding places to visit in the Middle East. Here, ancient history with Amman being one of the world's oldest capitals intertwines with Mediterranean and desert scenery, plus the locals are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet. Explore iconic sites like Petra, experience the vastness of Wadi Rum, and float in the unique Dead Sea.

Can females wear shorts in Jordan?

Women in Jordan can wear shorts in resort areas, hotels, and major tourist sites like Petra or the Dead Sea, but it's generally considered disrespectful in more conservative or rural areas and may attract unwanted attention. For general public spaces, particularly outside tourist zones, it is respectful and advisable to wear longer, loose-fitting pants or skirts to cover knees and shoulders to honor local culture and customs. You can wear shorts and even swimsuits at resorts, private beaches, and in places like the Dead Sea. While not universally accepted, you may see other tourists wearing shorts at popular sites like Petra, but dressing more modestly is still a good idea.

Can I travel to Jordan as a US citizen?

Yes, American citizens can travel to Jordan, but they need a visa, which can be obtained on arrival at most airports and border crossings, through the mandatory e-visa for the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, or by using the Jordan Pass if staying 3+ nights. Travelers need a passport with at least six months of validity and should be aware of the U.S. Department of State's Level 2 travel advisory, which recommends increased caution due to the possibility of terrorism and specific unsafe areas. For most entry points, like Queen Alia International Airport and some border crossings, you can get a visa upon arrival. If you are crossing the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, you must get an e-visa in advance. The Jordan Pass covers visa fees for stays over three nights and entry to many historical sites and is available for U.S. citizens.

What are the must-see attractions in Jordan?

Jordan boasts an incredible array of must-see attractions. The ancient Nabatean city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an absolute marvel. Experience the otherworldly desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, often called the 'Valley of the Moon,' by jeep or camel. Float effortlessly in the super-saline waters of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Explore the Roman ruins in Jerash, visit the historic citadel and Roman theatre in Amman, and discover the mosaics of Madaba, including the famous Madaba Map. Don't miss the Crusader castle at Karak and the natural beauty of Dana Biosphere Reserve.
