Before You Visit Jordan: Do You Need a Visa?
Before your trip to Jordan, check whether you need to apply for a visa in advance or can get one on arrival. Travelers from most European and North American countries can obtain a Visa on Arrival for 40 JD (~55 USD).
If your nationality requires a pre-approved visa, you’ll need to apply at the nearest Jordanian Embassy—or let MyFairyTrail handle it for you, so you don’t have to worry!
For those eligible for a Visa on Arrival, we highly recommend the Jordan Pass. It waives the visa fee (if staying at least three nights) and includes entry to major historical sites, making your trip smoother and more cost-effective.

Best Time to Visit Jordan
The ideal time to visit Jordan is March to May, when temperatures are pleasant, and spring brings lush greenery. September to mid-November also offers a comfortable climate.
From May to October, rainfall is rare, but summers—especially in July and August—can be extremely hot. It’s best to avoid the Dead Sea and the Eastern Desert during peak summer heat. If you’re visiting in summer, we can help plan your itinerary to explore sun-exposed sites early in the morning and adjust the timing to ensure a more comfortable experience. Let us handle the details so you can enjoy Jordan, no matter the season!
Winters can be cold, with occasional snow, especially in Amman, which is cooler due to its elevation. Meanwhile, deserts have hot days and chilly nights, so packing layers is essential!

Is Jordan Safe for Travelers?
Yes! Jordan is one of the safest countries in the region, with a stable and welcoming environment for tourists. While general caution is always advised when traveling, visitors can feel at ease exploring the country, as Jordanians are known for their hospitality.
If you’re considering renting a car, be aware that traffic rules are not always strictly followed, and driving can be challenging for foreigners. While the Desert Highway has been renovated, you’ll still encounter speeding trucks, unlit vehicles, and unexpected speed bumps, especially at night.
For a stress-free journey, let MyFairyTrail’s experienced drivers handle the roads. They know the best routes, viewpoints, and hidden gems, ensuring you travel safely and comfortably!

Is Jordan Expensive?
Jordan is a middle-income country. The capital Amman looks very modern in parts but is also home to less fortunate people. In Amman, you find accommodation and food in all price ranges. You can get a Shawerma meal for around 1-2 USD. But you can also eat a fancy meal in of the many restaurants and it can cost you much more. You can grab a coffee on the street for 70 cents, but also buy one in the major chains for around 6 USD. So, it all depends on where you go and what you prefer. In general, you can travel on a low budget, but Jordan is a bit pricier than some Eastern Asian countries for example.
