Why Travel to Jordan
You embark on an unforgettable adventure from the moment you set foot on a Jordan tour. Explore the hidden treasures in the capital city of Amman, roam through the well-preserved Roman ruins in Jerash, explore the pink sandstone tombs and temples of Petra, enjoy a camel ride through Wadi Rum, and spend a few days relaxing on the sandy beaches at Aqaba or the Dead Sea, as well as taste incredible middle eastern cuisine and meet friendly welcoming locals. Visitors to the country may first be drawn there to see the ancient city of Petra, but a tour of Jordan will expose them to so much more.

1. Avoid walking alone at night, either in the city or beach.
2. Out of respect for local culture and to ward off unwanted attention, avoid wearing very tight and revealing clothes.
3. Don't wear glittering jewelry out on the street.
4. Always keep your valuables with you.
5. When you're in a bar, keep your eyes on your drinks and don't accept any drinks from strangers. - Can I take pictures of the people, streets during my tour?
It would be better to ask for permission before taking photos of the locals. As in many places in the world, photographing government and military bases in Jordan is banned.
- How should I dress in Jordan?
Just like other Muslim countries, the general dress rule both for men and women is to keep shoulders, arms, and legs covered. Wearing trousers and long sleeves also help to prevent visitors from insect bites and sunburn. Besides, women are required to cover their hair when visiting a mosque or religious places. A headscarf is good to be prepared for any sights. Not only does this follow local customs, but it also shows that you care about Jordanian culture and local people will respect you for doing so.
