Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Jordan Pass and is it worth buying?
The Jordan Pass bundles the visa fee (normally payable on arrival) with entry to over 40 attractions including Petra, Jerash and Wadi Rum. For anyone staying 3+ nights and visiting Petra, it is almost always cheaper than paying separately — Petra entry alone costs more than the pass difference. Buy it online before you fly; it must be purchased in advance to include the visa waiver.
How much walking does Petra actually involve?
More than most visitors expect — the walk from the entrance to the Treasury alone is about 1.2km through the narrow Siq canyon, and seeing the site properly (including the Monastery, which requires climbing roughly 800 steps) is a full, demanding day of 8+ miles of walking on uneven ground. Comfortable, broken-in walking shoes are essential, not optional, and an early start avoids both the heat and the crowds.
What should women specifically consider packing for Jordan?
Jordan is one of the more liberal countries in the Middle East and Western clothing is common in Amman, but modest dress (shoulders and knees covered) is still respectful and advisable, particularly outside the capital and at religious sites. A scarf is useful both for modesty at mosques and as practical sun/dust protection at Petra and Wadi Rum. Loose, breathable fabrics manage the desert heat far better than tight clothing.
