About Jordan Tours
Jordan Overview
WHEN TO GO
The best time to visit Jordan is between the summer and winter season in spring or autumn when the sun is no longer baking hot. Winters can be very cold in most parts of the country but Aqaba and the Red Sea area are still quite nice at this time of year.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system in Jordan is based on 220 AC volts, 50 cycles and requires two-pronged wall plugs. Visitors from North America will need an adapter, which is available at most hotels.
Fall
Weather will be warm in Amman (average Fahrenheit temperatures range from 60-70 during the day to 40’s at night) and it will be warmer at the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley (70-80 degrees during the day).
FOOD AND DRINKING
Eating is one of the most popular national pastimes. Traditional Jordanian cuisine leans heavily on fresh produce (we grow a lot, and availability is seasonal), chicken and lamb, yoghurt and rice. Most dishes are prepared from fresh ingredients. In Amman you’ll also find international restaurants of every stripe, including (horrors!) McDonald and the ubiquitous KFC. Now in Petra you can even learn to cook your own Levantine goodies at the Petra Kitchen. And you can buy beer, wine and spirits except during Ramadan, the holy month of Islam when alcoholic beverages are not widely available. Jordan wineries produce some outstanding table wines, mostly around Madaba and Ajlun but sold throughout the country. You should also try arak, the local anise-flavored fire water.
DRINKING WATER
When traveling to any foreign country, U.S. health officials advise that you be careful about drinking water from an unknown source, since this may be disruptive to digestive systems used to North American sources of water. Most 5-star hotels in Jordan, which we are using , have their own private filtration plants, and should not cause any digestive problems. However, bottled water is readily available.
Jordan Borders
