Travel advice for Jordan

Avoid non-essential travel to Jordan unless there is an urgent need, because the security situation throughout the Middle East is tense and may change rapidly.

Follow local customs, especially during Ramadan, to avoid giving offence.

Reconsider travel to Jordan because of terrorism and armed conflict, which may escalate rapidly.

Exercise increased caution in Zarqa City, Ma’an City, and parts of Ma’an Governorate because of terrorism and crime.
