Best Time to Visit Jordan
The ideal times to visit Jordan are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the temperatures are pleasantly warm for exploring ruins and hiking, but avoid the intense heat of the summer or the surprisingly cold nights of the desert winter. Spring also brings the added beauty of wildflowers blooming across the northern hills.
Currency & Money
The official currency is the Jordanian Dinar (JOD). Jordan is a relatively cash-heavy society, especially in markets and for tipping, though luxury hotels and high-end restaurants in Amman and Petra widely accept major credit cards. Tipping is customary; a 10% tip is standard in restaurants, and it is polite to tip your private drivers and guides around 15-20 JOD per day.
Getting Around Jordan
For a luxury itinerary, the best way to get around is via a pre-arranged private chauffeured vehicle. This offers the flexibility to stop at scenic viewpoints along the King’s Highway and ensures a stress-free experience. While there are no passenger trains in Jordan, Royal Jordanian operates short domestic flights between Amman and the Red Sea port of Aqaba for those looking to save time.
