What to Pack for a Trip to Jordan?
Despite its desert-like and warm weather imagery, Jordan sees significant variations based on season and topography, and what you pack is based on when you visit the country.
If you are traveling during the popular spring and autumn seasons, pack layers that you can add or remove based on weather conditions. Take a warm layer such as a light jacket, sweater, and rain gear to account for differences in day and night temperatures.
Summer temperatures in Jordan can reach 100°F, so pack lightweight clothing made of natural fabrics such as cotton and linen. Winters in Jordan can get cold, wet, and even snowy, depending on where you are traveling to. Carry sufficient warm layers, including a good quality winter jacket, especially if visiting high-altitude destinations.
Jordan is a fairly conservative country when it comes to dressing. It is best to dress to cover your shoulders and knees. For women, short-sleeve and long-sleeve T-shirts, tops, flowy dresses, capris, jeans, or long pants work well. Short and long sleeve T-shirts and shirts, khakis, or linen pants are recommended for men. Western-style bathing suits are acceptable for the Dead Sea resorts.
If you are traveling during the warmer months, carry sufficient sun protection; a wide-brimmed sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Good quality sandals and walking shoes are also recommended for a comfortable sightseeing experience.
