<\/span><\/h2>\nDriving by car is the perfect way to explore Jordan. Would you like to rent a car? You will need an international driver’s license. We bought our international driver’s license (IRB) at an ANWB shop (a Dutch Tourist Association).<\/p>\n
We rented our car from Europcar. To be able to rent a car, you need to have a driving license which is valid for at least one year. You can rent a car at city offices if you are 19 years old, at airport offices you have to be at least 21 years old and for a certain large car rental category you have to be at least 25 years old.<\/p>\n
Our rental car cost \u20ac 276,- for 6 days.<\/strong> This is about \u20ac 45,- per day<\/strong>. The costs were a bit higher for us, because we picked up the car in Aqaba and dropped it off at the airport in Amman. We had to paid a “one-way fee”.<\/p>\nAlways take a good look at the conditions before booking a car. Usually you can find the conditions on the website of the car rental company.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Mobile internet and a SIM card in Jordan<\/span><\/h2>\nThey have a 3G network and a limited 4G network in Jordan. Most hotels and restaurants have Wi-Fi which you can use (for free). However, this connection is not always good. Don’t want to depend on this? You can buy a SIM card at a telecom shop.<\/p>\n
The largest provider in Jordan is Zain, a provider from Kuwait. Zain has the best and fastest coverage in the whole country and offers different data packages. We paid 13,5 JOD for 25 GB<\/strong>. We used both of these (by switching on the personal hotspot) and this was sufficient data for 6 days.<\/p>\nNote: In the Wadi Rum desert we had no reception at all!<\/strong><\/p>\n \nJordan Power plugs & Travel adapter<\/h2>\nIn Jordan both the European round two and three pin plugs are used as well as the British square three pin plugs. What kind of socket you find where, is always a surprise. So just to be on the safe side, bring a world plug or an adapter plug of type D, G or J with you.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Best time to visit Jordan<\/span><\/h2>\nThe best period to visit Jordan is spring and autumn (March to May<\/strong> or October to November<\/strong>). If you travel to this country during one of these periods, you will avoid the hot summers, but the cold winters as well. Temperatures in spring and autumn are between 20\u00b0C and 30\u00b0C. Believe me, 6 hours of walking in the full sun with 38\u00b0C is no fun at all! More information about the best travel time for Jordan?

Although Amman is a modern city, you can see that almost everyone (especially women) is wearing covering clothes. This is not only in Amman, but in fact throughout Jordan. Places like Petra and Wadi Rum, touristic hotspots, are more tolerant. However, I advise you to take into account the norms and values of the country and to put on as much opaque, loose clothing as possible. This means:<\/p>\n
\nNo translucent clothing;<\/li>\n No (whole) shorts or skirts for women, men can wear shorts;<\/li>\n No tops. T-shirts are accepted if the shoulders are covered;<\/li>\n Not (too) tight clothing;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTip: During our jeep tour through Wadi Rum I bought a keffiyeh, which I had with me every day after that. It protects your head against the sun and if necessary, it also covers your shoulders.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
