Jordan travel tips

Guidance for travellers applying from the United Kingdom. Always confirm requirements with the official visa authority.

Short answer: After your Jordan visa is granted, keep copies of your documents, respect local laws, and confirm entry conditions still match your itinerary.

Practical tips

  • Buy the Jordan Pass online if your stay length matches its visa benefit.
  • Start Petra at opening time to beat heat and tour groups.
  • Carry cash for Wadi Rum camps and small vendors.
  • Download offline maps—mobile signal fades in desert valleys.
  • Respect 'no drone' rules at archaeological sites unless permitted.
  • Use licensed taxis or ride-hail in Amman; agree long-distance fares upfront.
  • Stay hydrated; desert days are deceptively exhausting.
  • Check FCDO guidance near eastern border areas before overland travel.
