FAQs
What is the Jordan visa fee for US citizens?
The single-entry 30-day tourist eVisa or visa on arrival costs JOD 40 (~$56 USD). If you plan to visit Petra and other major attractions, the Jordan Pass (from JOD 70 / ~$99 USD) bundles the visa fee with admission to 40+ sites — potentially saving money overall.
What is the Jordan Pass and is it worth it?
The Jordan Pass is an official tourism product from the Jordan Tourism Board. It includes the single-entry visa fee (waiving the JOD 40 border fee) plus admission to 40+ attractions including Petra (1-day, 2-day, or 3-day entry). Starting from JOD 70 (~$99 USD), it's generally worth it if you plan to visit at least Petra, since Petra alone costs JOD 50 (~$70 USD) per person. Purchase at jordanpass.jo before arrival.
Is Jordan safe for American tourists?
Jordan is generally considered safe for American tourists and is one of the most stable countries in the Middle East. The U.S. State Department currently rates Jordan at Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) primarily due to terrorism risks and proximity to regional conflicts. Tourist areas like Petra, Amman, and Wadi Rum are actively patrolled. Standard travel precautions apply.
Can I enter Jordan from Israel?
Yes. Jordan and Israel have a peace treaty and share three land border crossings: the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge (near Jerusalem, daytime only), the Sheikh Hussein/Jordan River Crossing (northern), and the Wadi Araba/Yitzhak Rabin Crossing (near Eilat/Aqaba). Visa on arrival is NOT available at the Allenby Bridge — you must have a pre-arranged eVisa if crossing there. Check current border hours and policies before your trip.
