About Jordan
Jordan is a Middle Eastern country known for its ancient monuments, nature reserves, and seaside resorts. The official currency is the Jordanian Dinar. Visitors can explore the ancient city of Petra, float in the Dead Sea, and camp in the Wadi Rum desert. Jordan is also home to the vibrant capital city of Amman and the historic town of Jerash. The local cuisine features dishes like mansaf, falafel, and kunafa.
When to visit
The best time to visit Jordan is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. Summers can be extremely hot, especially in the desert areas, while winters can be cold and rainy.
Getting around
In Jordan, travellers can get around by using taxis, rental cars, or public transportation like buses and minibuses. Hiring a private driver or joining a guided tour is also a popular option for exploring the country. Domestic flights are available for those looking to travel between major cities.
Traveller tips
It is recommended to dress modestly and respect local customs and traditions while visiting Jordan. Make sure to stay hydrated, especially in the desert regions, and carry sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Learning a few basic Arabic phrases can help you communicate with locals and enhance your travel experience.
