Jordan's welcome is as memorable as Petra itself, from tea with a shopkeeper in Salt to a night in a Wadi Rum Bedouin camp.

Jordan packs a great deal into a country you can drive from end to end in a day. Walk the Siq into Petra early, before the day visitors arrive, then climb the rock-cut steps to the Monastery. Float in the Dead Sea, more than 400m below sea level, and spend a night under the stars in Wadi Rum. In between, the Roman streets of Jerash, the Byzantine mosaics of Madaba and the crusader castle at Kerak trace a history that goes back thousands of years.

Our local experts live in Jordan and plan around what you enjoy, whether that's hiking in the Dana Biosphere Reserve, where the village cooperative runs its own tourism projects, or a cookery class with a family in Amman. Planning directly with them helps communities such as the Dana village cooperative and the families who cook with you.

Your Jordan adventure awaits

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn: March to May, September to November
Winter on the Red Sea: December to February, when Aqaba stays mild

Destination highlights

Give Petra a full day: beyond the Treasury, hike up to the Monastery or the viewpoint high above the Siq. In Wadi Rum, explore red sandstone canyons by 4x4 or camel before dinner at a Bedouin camp. Keen walkers can hike from Dana to Petra over four days or wade through the canyon of Wadi Mujib, while the old town of Salt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021, is made for slow wandering.

Frequently asked questions about Jordan

Wadi Rum desert landscape, Jordan

  • Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable seasons, with mild days for Petra, Wadi Rum and hiking in Dana and Wadi Mujib. Summer is very hot inland but suits the Dead Sea and diving in Aqaba. Winter brings quiet days at Petra, cold desert nights and mild weather on the Red Sea.

  • Arabic is the official language. English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and at the main sites, and most guides speak it fluently. Away from the tourist trail you'll hear less English, so a few words of Arabic, such as shukran (thank you), are always appreciated.

  • Yes. British citizens can get a visa on arrival, valid for three months, or buy a Jordan Pass in advance, which covers the visa fee if you stay at least three nights and includes entry to Petra. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you arrive. Check the latest entry requirements before you travel.

  • Jordan uses the Jordanian dinar (JOD). Cards are accepted in most hotels and larger restaurants in Amman, Aqaba and Petra, but you'll want cash for markets, small cafés, taxis and tips. Cash machines are easy to find in towns and cities.

  • Jordan is in the Middle East, bordered by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Israel and the West Bank. Its only coastline is a short stretch of the Red Sea at Aqaba, and the Dead Sea lies on its western border. Most visitors fly into Queen Alia International Airport near Amman, the capital.

  • Jordan is a popular destination with a strong tradition of hospitality, and its main sites are well set up for visitors. Take the usual care with belongings in busy places and dress modestly away from the resorts. Check the latest FCDO travel advice before you travel.
