Jordan is home to Petra, the rose-red Nabataean city, the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and the coral reefs of Aqaba.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal; summers are very hot in the desert.
Why Choose Jordan?
Jordan is safe, compact and packed with history, from Roman Jerash to biblical sites such as Mount Nebo, plus Bedouin camps under the stars in Wadi Rum.

Many nationalities can get a visa on arrival or an e-visa. The Jordan Pass combines the visa fee waiver (for stays of at least three nights) with entry to Petra and other sites. Some nationalities need prior approval.
