Exciting & Unforgettable Journey to Jordan

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.

If you are looking to explore Middle East for the very first time, Amman is the ideal destination. Jordan extends a fantastic overview for those who are new to traveling the Middle East region. This journey provided my family a pleasant balance between the traditional and cultural portions.

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:

 The currency used in Jordan is Jordanian Dinar (JOD).
