FAQs about Jordan
How safe is to visit Jordan?
Jordan probably has the worst neighbours of them all in terms of terrorist threats and political unrest and sadly, tourism to Jordan has dropped significantly ever since ISIS appeared in neighbouring Iraq and Syria.But Jordan itself is a very safe place for both locals and travellers and there hasn’t been a terrorist attack in Jordanian soil in decades since the military forces of the country are very efficient.
Internet connection in Jordan?
Wi-fi is standard (and mostly offered free) in hotels of most budgets, as well as many cafes and restaurants.
Is there a tipping culture in Jordan?
Yes. A 10% tip is standard. In restaurants, a 10% service charge is often added (check your bill), but as service industry wages are often low and the restaurant — not the worker — may be receiving that service charge, a bit extra is always appreciated. In a taxi, you can round up to the closest dinar and give them a few extra dinars if they help with heavy bags. For porters, 1-2 dinars per bag is expected.Leave the housekeeping staff at least 2 JD per night and the room service 2-5 JD.
Do women have to wear hijab?
No, hijab are not required in Jordan — unless entering a mosque, which you are not likely to be allowed to do unless you are Muslim. While you will see many women wearing hijab in Jordan, there are also plenty of women who do not wear them. That being said, you will notice that for the most part (outside of the international bars and restaurants), women dress conservatively, with chest, shoulders, and legs covered.
