How to get to Jordan?

Visas

The Visa Requirements for entering Jordan as a tourist have recently been changed. Citizens from most countries (ask your travel agent to be sure) are now allowed to enter Jordan on an entry permit which is free. An entry permit is usually valid for a single entry and for a stay of two weeks, but can be extended at a police station. This may cost you a day since the nearest police station that will extend your visa is in Aqaba. Do not try to do it later than two weeks. This will cost you more trouble than its worth. After two weeks in Jordan, you may feel like spending a day or two diving or snorkelling in the Red Sea around Aqaba anyway. 
 

Regulations and Recommendations

Contrary to what you may read in the guide book, no inoculations are now required for entry into Jordan, although preventive shots for hepatitis, polio, tetanus and typhoid are recommended.

Things to see and do

If you are planning to trek or climb and spend several days in the Wadi Rum protected area, you must register your trip at the visitor centre before you start - and you should follow the best practice and safety guidelines recommended by the Protected Area Authority. These are available as a leaflet from the visitor centre or through the library link in this website. In the event of an emergency, you should first contact the tourism police at the visitor centre.

 Jordan Trips Adventure Holidays

We have always been specialists in adventure trips to Wadi Rum, Petra and the Dead Sea, taking people into the mountains and far from the usual routes. There are many possibilities for people visiting Jordan and we should like to think that the trips we have laid out have helped people to enjoy its beauty.

Our prices include just about everything: jeep transfers, guiding services and all meals. They do not, however, include the entrance fee to Wadi Rum. At the moment this is 2JD to be paid at the Visitors' Centre on arrival. We do normally supply mineral water and the water in Wadi Rum is very pure.

The ancient city of Petra, “the Red Rose city half as old as time”, was built from 800 BC to 100 AD by Nabatean Arabs. In this era Petra was a great trading city and a fortress, carved out of craggy rocks in an area which was virtually inaccessible to unwelcome visitors. Petra had its greatest period of glory and commercial success in the two centuries  before and after the birth of Christ.

History

Aqaba has been an inhabited settlement since 4000 BC profiting from its strategic location at the junction of trading routes between Asia, Africa, Europe. The early settlement was known as Aila in ancient times. It was a centre of the Edomites and later of the Arab Nabataeans, who populated the region extensively.
The Bible refers to the area in "King Solomon also built ships in Ezion-Geber, which is near Aila in Edom, on the shores of the Red Sea." This verse probably refers to the Iron Age port city on the site of modern Aqaba.

Safety in the desert

Wadi Rum is not an inherently dangerous place but travellers in the desert should take a few simple precautions to reduce risks and make their visit more enjoyable. Always bring a hat, sun cream and drinking water to enable you to cope with the sun and heat. Strong shoes are recommended for walking over sand and rock. If you are camping overnight, a flash light will be useful and a trowel or small shovel to bury organic waste(No plastic bags please). A light weight sleeping bag is also advisable, as it can get cold in the desert at night, although most tour operators and local Bedouins provide mattresses, blankets and pillows as part of the deal. Check before you arrive.
