The entry visa to Jordan is 40JD, and must be paid in Jordanian Dinar. There are currency exchanges and an ATM at the ports of entry. Please refer to your itinerary for questions about visas as this has already been planned for by your travel specialist. Jordan Pass is a fantastic sightseeing package tailor-made for guests visiting Jordan. It gives you the pleasure of visiting top sights and attractions whilst saving time, money, and stress. A onetime purchase before entering the country gives you free access to many of the most famous historical sites in the country. Valuables & travel insurance Exercise the same safety precautions throughout your travels as you would at home. Be especially careful with your passport. It is a great idea to carry a photocopy of the informational pages of your passport (the pages containing your photograph and passport details, as well as any amendment pages and visas) and to leave a copy at home. Follow the security measures included with your travellers’ checks, and also leave an additional record of their numbers at home. We recommend that all travelers purchase adequate trip cancellation/ interruption, medical, and baggage insurance and that they carry the details of their coverage with them on the tour. Packing for your adventure Just carry a day bag/purse/backpack with you during the tour, your overnight bag will stay in the bus trunk until the next stop. You will be able to access to it whenever you want! In summers, temperatures in Jordan can be hot and with little rain. In the months of November to March, however, it can be very cool at night, particularly in the desert where night temperatures can drop to 5°C or less. Even in the hot months out in the desert it can sometimes get cold at night. For your luggage, we recommend large backpacks or soft duffle bags that can be locked. When visiting sites during the day, you only need to carry in your daypack what you need for the day. We recommend to keep your daypack as light as possible. Your luggage will be transported by bus to our accommodation each night.
