Traveling to Jordan? Land Connected.

Jordan is compact and unforgettable — Petra carved into rose-red rock, desert nights in Wadi Rum, floating in the Dead Sea and Roman ruins at Jerash. With data from touchdown, you can navigate between them, book guides and translate from the moment you land.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy video, navigation and hotspot use.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Petra: the rose-red Nabataean city, entered through the narrow Siq canyon to the Treasury, with the Monastery a long climb beyond.
  • Wadi Rum: the desert of red sand and rock bridges, best by jeep tour and overnight Bedouin camp under the stars.
  • The Dead Sea: the lowest point on Earth, where the salty water makes floating effortless — bring water shoes for the shore.
  • Jerash: one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the region, with colonnaded streets, theatres and temples.
  • Amman: the Citadel and Roman Theatre above the downtown hills, plus Rainbow Street's cafés and the old souqs.

Getting Around

  • Airport to the city: Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) connects to Amman by bus and taxi; the ride into town is around 30–40 minutes.
  • City transport: Amman is hilly and spread out — taxis are the practical way around town, and the downtown area is walkable in sections.
  • Ride-hailing — yes, widely available: Uber and Careem both operate in Amman, and are the easiest way to get a priced ride in the city.
  • Between cities: JETT buses link Amman with Petra, Aqaba and the Dead Sea; a rental car is popular for the Petra–Wadi Rum–Dead Sea loop, with good main roads.

Safety and Practical Tips

Jordan is generally safe and welcoming for visitors. Take normal care against pickpockets at busy sites and markets, and keep valuables out of sight at night in downtown Amman.

Desert and heat need respect: carry water in Wadi Rum and Petra, start hikes early in summer, and do not drive desert tracks alone. At the Dead Sea, keep the salty water out of your eyes and any cuts, and shower off after floating.

Entry and Visa

Visa rules depend on your passport. Many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Amman airport and other entry points; others need a visa arranged in advance. Check the latest requirements for your passport before you book, and make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival.

Weather and Climate

  • Hot, dry summers; cool winters: Amman summers are hot and dry, winters cool with most of the year's rain; Aqaba and the Dead Sea stay warm most of the year.
  • Best months: March to May and September to November are generally the best for sightseeing — mild across the country. Summer is very hot in Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba, and winter nights in the desert can be cold.
  • What to pack: layers, sun protection and sturdy walking shoes for Petra's climbs. Summer: light clothes, a hat and plenty of water. Winter: a warm jacket, especially for desert nights.

Money and Payments

  • Currency and cards: Jordanian dinars (JOD). Cards are widely accepted in Amman and Aqaba hotels, restaurants and shops; carry cash for souqs, taxis and smaller towns.
  • WISE and similar travel cards — yes, supported: the Wise card works in Jordan wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted. Similar multi-currency cards, such as Revolut, work the same way on the Visa/Mastercard network. Check the card app for current ATM limits and fees before you travel, as these change.
  • Tipping: 10% is a common, appreciated gesture in restaurants where service is not already included; small tips for guides and drivers are customary.
  • Cash tips: use ATMs in town rather than airport exchange counters, which usually give worse rates, and always choose to pay in dinars (local currency) if a terminal or ATM offers to convert to your home currency.
