Jordan in 2025-2026: Safe, Affordable, and More Accessible Than Ever

The Truth About Traveling to Jordan Right Now

Petra from Above

If you’ve been dreaming of exploring Petra’s ancient rose-red city, camping under the stars in Wadi Rum, or floating in the Dead Sea, you might be wondering: Is now the right time to visit Jordan?

The answer is a resounding yes. Despite regional tensions that often dominate headlines, Jordan remains one of the safest and most stable destinations in the Middle East—and it’s never been easier or more affordable to get here.

Jordan’s Stability: A Beacon in the Region

Jordan has long been recognized for its political stability and commitment to peace. The Hashemite Kingdom maintains strong diplomatic relationships internationally and has built a reputation as a safe haven in a complex region.

Here’s what travelers need to know:

• Tourist areas remain secure: Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Amman, and all major tourist destinations operate normally with robust security measures
• Government commitment to tourism: Jordan’s tourism sector is a national priority, with significant resources dedicated to visitor safety and satisfaction
• Welcoming local culture: Jordanian hospitality is legendary—visitors consistently report feeling safe and welcomed throughout their journey
• International confidence: Major tourism boards and travel advisories continue to support travel to Jordan’s tourist destinations

The reality on the ground is far more peaceful than many international news cycles suggest. Tourists explore ancient ruins, share tea with Bedouins, and create unforgettable memories every single day.

Budget Airlines Are Making Jordan More Accessible

Here’s the exciting news: traveling to Jordan has become significantly more affordable thanks to an influx of budget airlines launching new routes to Amman.

Ryanair Enters the Market

Ryanair New Routes

Ryanair’s winter 2025-2026 program is their largest ever to Jordan, featuring 84 weekly flights connecting multiple Jordanian airports to European cities, while discussing increasing the number of routes it flies from the country from 18 to 50

New Ryanair routes to Jordan include connections from:

• 18 routes from 12 European countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK
• Three Jordanian airports served: Queen Alia International Airport (Amman), Amman Civil Airport (Marka), and King Hussein International Airport (Aqaba)
• Over 300,000 seats available throughout the winter season
• Direct flights from major cities like Vienna, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, and London

Multiple Airports Mean More Options

Jordan is expanding airport capacity to accommodate the surge in budget flights. In addition to the main Queen Alia International Airport, Marka Airport (Amman Civil Airport) has been opened for commercial budget airline operations. This strategic move means:

• More flight slots available
• Reduced congestion and delays
• Greater scheduling flexibility for travelers
• Easier access to central Amman (Marka is closer to the city center)

Other Budget Carriers Joining the Movement

Budget Flights Routes to Jordan

Ryanair isn’t alone. Several other low-cost airlines have recognized Jordan’s appeal and are expanding service:

• Wizz Air: Offering competitive fares from Central and Eastern Europe
• EasyJet: Connecting Jordan to key UK and European cities
• Air Arabia: Providing affordable options from the Gulf region
• Pegasus Airlines: Linking Jordan through Turkey at budget-friendly prices

This competition among carriers means one thing for travelers: lower prices and more flexibility in planning your Jordan adventure.
