I am going to take this opportunity to share the valuable knowledge and experience about our living in Jordan. I’m a tourist who doesn’t speak Arabic yet wants to change this situation and enjoy the traveling. Jordan is surrounded by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria Palestinian and Israel.
Amman is the capital city of Jordan which is retaining
its uniquely Jordanian culture. Widely spoken and official language used is
Arabic. However, as per our experience most of the people in Amman are
possessing the basic English knowledge.
Attempting to speak a very few basic Arabic words will
gain you respect from the locals and is a good way to break the ice.
Here are a
few useful words to get you started:
Amman is a vibrant city which consists of many tourist
attractions to explore, and you may spend a couple of days. Visitors to Jordan presently
not required to bring a negative PCR test from the country of departure.
Further, visitors need to fill the declaration form before their departure (72
hours) and obtain the QR code. It is mandatory to present the QR Code to enter
Jordan.
Visitors with a valid passport may get a visa at
Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport (for unrestricted nationalities) and
the visa is only valid for 01 month. Queen Alia International Airport is the
main airport in Jordan.
Travel between Queen Alia International Airport and
Amman is very easy as there are many options for the visitors.

Visitors should make sure that you have Jordan Pass in
hand and Jordan Pass is only valid for 12 months. Most of the attractions you
are going to visit in Amman includes tickets. Jordan Pass is very valuable for
the visitors because that will save time, efforts, money and waive the visa
fees. You will have to show the Jordan Pass at the ticket counter/ entrance of
the tourist attraction.
