Great video! Spent 6 months in Jordan for work and loved it there. I will have to disagree on the “they don’t really drink alcohol” though. We enjoyed spirits all over that country. Almost all the restaurants serve alcohol and there are bars/clubs all over Amman. We even found a few liquor stores.
@@turdferguson12 But they really don't. Beer choices are limited and prices are exorbitant. Wine is of poor quality. Talabat won't even let you order alcohol.
Another great video. Thank you! I'm actually debating between Albania and Jordan for my next international trip, so your channel is coming in very handy. Keep up the great work!
This is a very good vlog. I love that you emphasise about respecting the culture with regards to dress. I’m white British but definitely don’t have a problem dressing within the local culture. It’s simply respect, isn’t it? Their country, their rules. We have just returned from a holiday in Egypt but really fancy Jordan. This has given me something to think about. Thank you.
Hey Im from jordan usually we dress per the place in normal streets we usually shirts and pants is fine/ long dress if you go to a hotel you can put on dresses/swim suits
Thank you for posting this video. Your video was very helpful and by far the best in offering advice on how to get the visa, Jordan pass, and what to expect.
hey man cool video.. i want to visit this wonderful country and explore as much as possible.. the tours i find online is quite expensive.. could you recommend or advice whether you sorted when you got there or did everything online? thanks.
I’ve lived in Amman for the past 15 years, and I love it. Just to comment on “they don’t really drink alcohol” ahahahahaha, there are soooooo many bars ,clubs and pubs in Amman, Petra and Aqaba, and 90% of the people in them are Jordanian.
We are glad that you loved Jordan, you missed to say that we also have very good population of Christians and matching number of Churches as we live equally and in harmony ... also there are a huge number of alcohol shops around the country. Hope to see again.
I really like the video, my questions are, do you think as a male a solo travel would be safe? I have a tour with intrepid travel but I would like to do it solo, after Jordan I’m trying to visit Egypt, how hard is to take a flight from saman to Cairo? Thanks for any info.
Thank you for the great video! I’m planning to visit Jordan next month. It is my first visit. Could you tell me how to move around the country? Is it a good idea to hire a private car? Thank you in advance!
BY THE WAY I AM FROM MIAMI FLORIDA AND UNLIKE TO TRAVEL BY MYSELF AN MID BUDGET WITH MY BACK PACK ANY RECOMMENDATIONS YOU WILL GIVE ME I WILL VERY HAPPY THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS MY VERY FIRST TIME GOING TO THE MIDDLE EAST PART OF THE WORLD
In better and better places than tourist places we have advice deal with the people of the country and they take you to areas such as Wadi al-Naml in the north of Dana Reserve in the south and the mountains of Ajloun and King Talal dam an advice to you and welcome man👍
You expressed true love for Jordan. Yes, I love that country, too. Having lived there and studied Arabic long time ago. The food.... Hummus (and its sisters like Baba Ghanuuch) is incredible good, Kufta also, chicken with salad, too.... But honestly... please dear Jordanians, do not kill me... I never was a big fan of Mansaf or Maqluuba. 🙂
at the airport there's no buses but there are alot of taxis waiting for someone so I'd recommend taxis and for the hotels every hotel in jordan is very good and clean so ot just depends on your location really
How many days will you recommend to stay in Jordan? Is it easy to get around by just speaking english? Do you need an exit flight ticket at the airport to get your visa?(I'm planning to take a bus to Israel after Jordan) Thank you and great video! :^)
We spent 12 days in Jordan in May but could have easily found many exciting things to do for another 5 or so days, and I would say you need a minimum of 7 days. Jordanians are very hospitable and speak excellent English. No one asked for proof of exit flight tickets when we arrived at the airport. Hope this helps!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS. YOU WILL BE SO KIND TO SEND ME THE LINKS OF RESTAURANTS I CAN GO TO EAT AND A REASONABLE PRICES AND IF MAY BE HOSTALS I PLAN TO GO TO JORDAN AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2023 ANY FOOD YOU GOT ANY OTHER I WILL HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT❤
If I hire a private transportation service to transport me from Amman to Petra, do I need to tip the driver or is that included in the cost of transportation? If I need to tip the driver, how much should I tip the driver? 5% of the cost of the trip? 10% of the cost of the trip?
We don't actually have tip culture. A driver will definitely appreciate that but it is not necessary and the driver is expected to do his job perfectly without a tip.
Hi we have booked to go early November. Anyone over there at the moment. Do you still feel safe traveling around? Family & friends keep saying to not go. We not sure
I understand that the Jordan Pass is not a Jordan Visa but is used to waive the Visa Fees. So when I arrive in Jordan do I fill out a visa upon arrival and then go the desk show them the visa on arrival and the Jordan Pass. Is that the correct procedure? Is there any other documentation that I need to enter Jordan?
Gorgeous country 💜 Beautiful ancient history & kind people; like a dream of Heaven! I wish could live it. Good you mention dress, as a Westerner it makes me cringe when tourists are so disrespectful. I'm not Muslim but I share dislike of people ambling round half-dressed (lucky UK weather usually intervenes!) Occasionally I see elderly people in the Pub dressed 1950s-ish; as if they made an effort to go out, looking sharp & dignified, like they respect themselves & their surroundings, in contrast to half-dressed blokes in shorts, scratching, hairy legs, or my skimpy dressed sisters. I would be fine in Jordan :) Except lack of olde English Pubs, & the heat :( May Jordan stay a haven of Peace for it's lovely people & the tourists, free from hormonal man wars. 🙏
There's a fair sized Christian population in Jordan, too, my sister in law being one of them! But it doesn't really make a difference.. except when it comes to alcohol. Christians drink openly. Nicer hotels and restaurants stock most brands. I'd probably advise not cheaping out on hotels if it's your first trip to that region. Jordanians are fantastic people!
Hello there, May I share the most important news with you ever before? God the Father sent his Holy Son Jesus (Y'shua) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. After that they put Him in a tomb for 3 days, and on the 3rd day Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people. Then Christ ascended back to heaven. We all must genuinely believe in Christ and receive Him into our life as Savior to be saved. John 1:12 " But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you put genuine faith in Christ and receive Him into your life today?
Hello from Kazakhstan, i knew that the world don't know real true history of Central Asia, Kyrgyz is not much different than Kazakhs we like brothers, i mean culture, tradition etc. First of all i see you don't know real history of Kyrgyzstan Kazakhstan central Asian countries.

After all that Soviet comunists dropped a lot of nation in the steps hoping them to die. So before to make video make sure you know real history, not different then Mayan history.
Thank you for your honesty , really enjoy your video hope you come back one day , you are welcome in jordan . I just have one note israel is not a middle eastern country it is baisecly european cuz there is no indigenous people in beside the Palestinian , also it is illegal occupation .
The country Jordan thinks they are dubai it is so expensive so its crazy omg i’ts not that beautiful that you chose jordan over maldives. Come to ground jordan. One bortle watter 6 euro at hotel
I'm Jordanian and I love Dubai so go there every year. A bottle of water in a 4 star hotel there is 20$. Had to wait till morning to walk to the supermarket and get cheap ones. Make a natural study and you'll see how Jordan is less expensive than Dubai.

Is tap water safe to drink? And the Jordan Pass doesn't include the night show at Petra, should I still get the Jordan Pass?
do not drink from the tap water, unless the accommodation has a water filter installed on the faucet. Just stick to bottled water.

You can use your American license to rent a car. You only need an international driver’s license if you’re planning on driving local cars.
