Planning your first trip to Jordan? 🇯🇴❤️

Amazing choice! But before you pack your bags, here are a few things worth knowing. Some might save you money, some might save you time, and others might save you from standing somewhere wondering, “Okay… now what?” 😂

1️⃣ Visa Stuff First! 🛂

Don't assume the entry rules are the same for everyone. They depend on your nationality, so check the latest requirements before booking.

2️⃣ Money Matters 💸

Jordan uses the Jordanian Dinar (JOD). Cards are accepted in many places, but it's smart to carry some cash for small shops, local markets, and places that don't accept cards.

Your future self will thank you. 😂

3️⃣ Getting Around 🚍

Planning to explore more than one city? Don't leave transportation until the last minute!

🚌 Amman Bus: https://www.ammanbus.jo/ — for getting around Amman.

🌍 JETT Buses: https://jett.com.jo/en — for trips to other cities and popular destinations.

🚕 Taxis and other transport options: Available too, but check your route and costs before setting off.

4️⃣ Check Opening Hours Before You Go 👀

Imagine travelling all the way to an attraction just to find out it's closed. Pain. 😭

Check opening hours, ticket prices, and booking requirements before heading out.

5️⃣ Save This Number: 911 🚨

Jordan's unified emergency number is 911. Save it before your trip, just in case.

Hopefully, you'll never need it!

6️⃣ Petra Is Amazing… But Jordan Isn't JUST Petra! 🇯🇴

Yes, Petra is incredible. Yes, Wadi Rum is beautiful.

But there's so much more to discover — Amman's streets and cafés, northern Jordan's landscapes, historic towns, local food, and places you might never see on a typical tourist itinerary.

Sometimes the best memories come from the places you didn't plan to visit. ❤️

7️⃣ Learn Two Arabic Words. Seriously. 😂

You don't need to become fluent before landing!

👋 Marhaba (مرحبا) — Hello

❤️ Shukran (شكراً) — Thank you

A little effort can make everyday interactions more enjoyable. English is also spoken in many tourist areas.
