Packing & Clothing

• Dress modestly: Especially in rural areas, religious sites, and for women—cover shoulders, avoid short skirts or shorts.

• Layering is key: Jordan has varying climates—hot in the day, cool at night, especially in the desert.

• Bring a scarf or shawl: Useful for sun protection, dust, or when visiting mosques.

• Sturdy walking shoes: Petra and Wadi Rum involve a lot of walking and rocky terrain.

• Swimwear: Modest swimwear is best for public areas; bring water shoes for the Dead Sea.

• Daypack: Ideal for hikes or city wandering.
