Travel & Stay
Helpful Information

To make your stay in Amman as comfortable as possible, we recommend two preferred hotel options: The House Boutique & Suites and InterContinental Jordan Hotel. Both are well-located, elegant, and convenient choices for your stay. We also have access to preferential rates for these two hotels, so please contact us directly before booking.
There are also many good Airbnb options available in Amman for anyone who prefers staying in an apartment or private home instead of a hotel.
For hotels and trips outside Amman, you can also contact us directly. We’ll connect with a trusted agency that can help arrange bookings, transportation, and full trip planning.

The easiest way to get around Amman is by using Careem. We recommend downloading the app and ordering taxis directly from there. It is generally very affordable and convenient.
For anyone who prefers to drive, car rental options are available directly at the airport, as well as from rental offices around Amman.
-
For mobile data, you can use an eSIM from common apps such as Saily or Airalo.
That said, we feel a very good option is to buy a local SIM card after you exit the airport. Providers such as Orange, Zain, and others usually offer several data packages, ranging from smaller plans to large data bundles such as 100 GB, often at relatively good prices.

Visa requirements depend on your passport.
Many Arab country passport holders do not need a visa to enter Jordan. However, if you hold a foreign passport, such as Canadian, French, UK, US, or similar, a visa may be required.
For eligible travelers, a visa can usually be obtained either upon arrival at the airport or online through Jordan’s official e-Visa system. The single-entry visa fee is currently listed as 40 JOD, approximately 56–60 USD depending on the exchange rate.
A Jordan Pass may also be worth considering. It gives access to many tourist attractions and can waive the tourist entry visa fee if purchased before arrival and if the stay requirements are met. The official Jordan Pass packages are currently listed at 70, 75, and 80 JOD, depending on the Petra visit option.
Please contact us before purchasing your visa or Jordan Pass. We’ll be happy to guide you and help you choose the best option for your trip.
