Essential Tips for Planning Your Jordan Adventure.

Before you set foot in Jordan, let’s cover the essentials:

• Visa requirements for Jordan: For most countries, visa-on-arrival and e-visa options are available. Do check latest updates on visa rules for Jordan for your country. We suggest taking the Jordan Pass, which provides complimentary access to various tourist attractions, including Petra, and also exempts you from paying the visa fee.
• Best Time to Visit Jordan: Consider visiting Jordan during the spring months of March to May or the autumn months of September to November.
• Jordanian Currency and Language: Arabic is the official language in Jordan and Jordanian Dinar is used as the local currency.

• Petra by Night: If time permits, you can also go for Petra by night, a nighttime show with candlelights and sound. But if you are too tired after walking throughout the day, this can be skipped.
