Frequently asked questions

The cost to visit Jordan varies, but a mid-range budget is usually $100-$150 USD per person per day. This includes good hotels, restaurant meals, and private transfers for a comfortable Jordan travel cost. For budget travelers, it can be as low as $50-70 USD daily, while luxury trips exceed $250 USD. The Jordan Pass, costing $99-$113 USD, is highly recommended as it covers your visa and entry to major sites

For a quick overview of highlights, 4 days in Jordan is enough to see Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. However, to truly experience the country without feeling rushed, 7 days in Jordan is ideal. This allows time for Amman, Jerash, Madaba, and a more relaxed pace for your Jordan trip. Longer trips (10+ days) offer deeper exploration and additional activities.

The best month to visit Jordan is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). These shoulder seasons offer comfortably warm temperatures, making it perfect for exploring Petra and Wadi Rum. Spring brings blooming wildflowers, while autumn provides pleasant warmth after the summer heat. Avoid summer for extreme heat, though winter offers fewer crowds.

Yes, Jordan is generally considered safe for tourists, particularly in its main tourist destinations like Petra and Wadi Rum. However, due to regional tensions, many governments advise exercising a "high degree of caution." It's best to avoid border areas with Syria and Iraq and be aware of your surroundings, especially in public places. Petty crime can occur, but overall, visitors typically have a safe and welcoming experience.
