To enter Jordan, a passport valid for six months is required by all nationalities.

All non-Jordanian nationalities are strongly advised to contact the Jordanian Embassy in their country to check visa and other potential requirements that may differ from country to country.

Visa Note

You can obtain the single-entry visa on arrival at any point of entry into Jordan, except at the Wadi Araba border crossing and the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge on the border between Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank. No Jordanian visas are issued at these crossings.

Take time to visit the souks in Jordan’s larger towns and cities. These are treasure troves for those seeking something a little bit out of the ordinary. Within the souks are also excellent gold and silver outlets, where some great bargains can be found. Also, worth visiting are the busy market shops, especially for exotic spices, herbs and seasonings. Top malls in Jordan are Taj Mall, City Mall, Galleria Mall, and Abdali Mall. Rainbow Street is a great tourist area, where many handicraft stores, coffee shops, and lounges overlook the paved lanes.

Please note that the most reliable mode of public transportation in Jordan is taxis and we highly recommend that you do not use public buses or other modes of transportation.

Taxis are all yellow in Jordan and are available through the hotel’s concierge or you can stop one on the street. If you do take a taxi, then make sure that the driver turns the meter on and does not overcharge you. You may wish to tip the driver and a JOD 1 or maximum 2 is very reasonable.

You may also use Careem and Uber which both accept Visa, MasterCard and cash.

You may find it easier to download the apps of the two taxi service providers in Jordan and use them when you need transportation.

Airport Taxis are available near the arrival terminal and operate 24 hours a day. Prices are fixed by law and are posted in the taxi park at the terminals exits.

A taxi ride from the airport to Amman city center should cost around JOD20.00 (USD 28.19). We recommend that you agree on a price with the taxi driver before your ride, to avoid an inflated price or a detour during transportation.
