Jordan at a Glance
Quick facts about Jordan.
Amman is the capital city of Jordan. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, which is home to the landmarks that date as far back as 7500 BC. It is also one of the most westernized cities in the Middle East.
89,213 km2. Jordan may seem large at face value, but 75 percent of its total land area is occupied by desert. Thus, most of the tourist attractions are not far apart, and you can easily get around in a taxi.
+962 is the country code for Jordan when making a call from another country.
The Jordan Dinar is the official currency of Jordan. The currency code is JD. ATMs and currency exchange booths are available all over the country. A few Jordan service providers may accept US dollars but often at a lower rate than exchange booths.
The Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is Jordan’s main international airport. The airport is about 30 km from the city center that mostly serves international travelers. COD: AMM. Closest City: Amman
Most tourists will require a visa to travel to Jordan. Depending on your country, you may be eligible for a visa on arrival, or you may have to apply at a Jordanian embassy before traveling. We recommend checking your country’s travel advisories before booking a trip.
The official language of Jordan is Arabic. Virtually everyone in the country, including minority groups, speaks Arabic. English is also spoken to a lesser extent, especially in tourist-dominated areas. Road signage, menus, and receipts are typically in Arabic and English.
911 is the centralized emergency line in Jordan. You should call the number if you need the police, medical assistance, or other emergency services.
Although Jordanians are predominantly Muslim, the country does not have strict drinking laws. All high-end hotels have well-stocked bars, and liquor stores are scattered around Aqaba and Amman. However, liquor stores become harder to find as you move away from the main cities.

Jordan travel tips and insights
- It is always sensible to purchase a Jordan Pass while traveling in the country. The pass grants you access to most of the tourist attractions at a significant discount.
- Since Jordan is an Islamic country, modest dressing is generally appreciated. While there are no strict rules about what to wear, you should avoid skimpy or revealing dresses throughout your stay in Jordan.
- Staring is not considered rude in Jordan. So, you are likely to get a lot of stares, especially if you are a single woman traveling alone.
If you are traveling during the month of Ramadan, do not expect business as usual. Offices and banks close earlier during this month, and many restaurants may not serve lunch. - In Jordan, it is illegal to possess drugs or pornography, preach any religion other than Islam publicly, or insult the royal family.
