Frequently Asked Questions About Jordan
Which Jordan tour package should I choose for a first visit?
Choose by the time you have in Jordan and where you want to sleep. The 3-day route from Amman combines the Dead Sea, Petra and a Wadi Rum camp in two nights. The 6-day route adds Amman and northern sightseeing. The 8-day package includes two Dead Sea nights and a free day there. Compare the day-by-day itinerary as well as the tour length.
How many days do you need for Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea?
Our 3-day route from Amman visits all three with one night in Petra and one at a Wadi Rum camp. It is a compact road trip with substantial driving. A 6-day or 8-day package adds hotel nights and other visits; extra days do not necessarily mean extra time inside Petra. Arrival and departure arrangements matter when comparing the options.
How much does a Jordan tour package cost?
Use the current starting prices on the tour cards on this page to compare packages, then select your dates and number of travelers on the tour page. Hotel category, room occupancy, season, camp type and included flights affect the final price. Compare a Jordan land package separately from a package with international airfare, and check any solo-room supplement and optional extras.
Do Jordan tour packages include flights from the USA?
Some do. The 9-Day Best of Jordan package from New York lists round-trip airfare from JFK to Amman; the 9-day Chicago package also lists international airfare. The 3-day, 6-day and 8-day Jordan routes starting in Amman exclude international flights. Check the departure airport, airline routing, baggage and dates in the selected package and your written confirmation.
What is included in the 6-day and 8-day Jordan packages?
Both list hotels and a Wadi Rum camp night, breakfast, camp dinner, Amman airport transfers, an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver, selected local site guides, a Wadi Rum jeep excursion and listed entrance fees. International flights, visa or Jordan Pass costs, insurance and tips are excluded. Meals and activities not expressly included are additional; use the selected tour and written confirmation for the full list.
Will the same guide stay with us throughout Jordan?
Do not assume a full-time accompanying guide. The 6-day and 8-day packages list an English-speaking driver and local guided visits of about two hours at Petra, one hour at Jerash and 45 minutes at the Amman Citadel. Guide, driver and vehicle assignments can vary by day or segment. Ask for a written quote if you want additional guiding time.
Does every Jordan package include a night in Wadi Rum?
No. The 3-day Dead Sea, Petra and Wadi Rum route, the 6 Day Jordan Tour from Amman and the 8-day package include a camp night. The separate 6-Day Highlights of Jordan visits Wadi Rum during the day and stays in Amman, Petra and the Dead Sea. Compare the overnight stops, camp category and listed activities before choosing.
Is Petra a day visit or an overnight stop?
That depends on the package. The 3-day route stays one night in Petra, while the 8-day itinerary visits Petra between Wadi Rum and the return to Amman without a Petra hotel night. The 6-Day Highlights of Jordan has two Petra nights. Guided hours, total time on site and hotel nights are different measures; check each separately.
Should I buy a Jordan Pass for a package tour?
Check before buying. Several packages already include the entrance fees listed in their itineraries, while the Jordan Pass is excluded from their price. Ask how a pass would affect your quote so you do not pay for the same entry twice. Eligibility, entry permission and any visa-fee benefit depend on current official rules, nationality and length of stay; the pass does not replace every visa requirement.
What should US travelers check before booking Jordan?
Review the current US Department of State Jordan travel advisory, passport and entry requirements, flight operations and your insurance coverage before booking and again before departure. Conditions can change, so a tour listing is not confirmation that travel is advisable or that a specific departure will operate. Confirm dates, services and cancellation terms in writing.
