Is Travel Insurance required?
Although its not required, its highly suggested to cover yourself with Travel Insurance for all international travel. This protects you & your purchase incase something happens before or during the trip that prohibits you from coming or staying through the whole trip. This trip does not include travel insurance & should be purchased separately. You can get several quotes from Aardy.com – Rachel’s personal favorite (from experience) is Travel Guard by AIG.
What are the Visa Requirements?
Australia, Canada, UK, USA all require visas that are available upon arrival. Single entry visas are valid for 14 days.& can be obtained by most nationalities, on arrival at the airport. They cost 40 JOD.
How should I get money for this trip?
Although there are ATMs in the Amman airport, there aren’t any in the immigration halls of the Amman airport so please be sure to bring foreign currency to exchange.
What is the activity level for this trip?
There is A LOT of walking & hiking, especially in Petra & Wadi Rum. Most active people should have zero issues. You should be reasonably active & able to walk for periods of time on varying terrains. There is very little shade in both these locations so be sure you bring comfortable walking shoes & a hat. This isn’t a “high actively” level but to do all the activities and see all the sites you should be moderately healthy.
What is the weather like in Jordan?
In October the weather can get warm during the day and very chilly at night. Be sure to bring clothing that you can layer, it can get quite cool in the desert in the fall time.
