Travel tips for Jordan

  • 1

    Always carry small bills (Jordanian dinars) for taxis, markets, and small vendors, as many places don’t accept credit cards or give change easily.

  • 2

    Dress modestly when visiting religious sites like mosques or the Baptism Site, covering shoulders and knees to show respect.

  • 3

    Haggle politely at local souks like Amman’s Rainbow Street or Zarqa’s markets to get fair prices on spices, textiles, and souvenirs.
