Several airlines operate flights between UAE cities and Amman or Aqaba. Exact routes, schedules and durations vary by airline and season, so it's best to confirm current flight options when booking your package.

Visa requirements depend on nationality and residency status, so travelers should check the latest requirements with the Jordanian embassy or their travel provider before booking, as rules can differ between passport holders.

Jordan works well for families, with the Dead Sea, Aqaba's beaches and Petra's walkable trails offering a mix of relaxation and gentle adventure suitable for children and adults alike.

What should I pack for a Jordan trip?

Pack comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, a hat, swimwear for the Dead Sea or Red Sea, and a warm layer for cooler desert evenings, particularly if staying overnight in Wadi Rum.

Discover amazing tours and travel packages in Jordan

Jordan is a captivating kingdom in the heart of the Middle East, where ancient history, dramatic desert scenery and warm Arab hospitality come together in one compact, easy-to-explore country. Best known for Petra, the rose-red city carved into sandstone cliffs by the Nabataeans over two thousand years ago, Jordan is also home to the otherworldly dunes of Wadi Rum, the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, and the Red Sea coastline at Aqaba. Amman, the modern capital, blends lively cafes and traditional souks with Roman-era ruins, while nearby Jerash preserves one of the best-kept Greco-Roman cities outside Italy. For travelers from the UAE, Jordan is an accessible short-haul destination that pairs cultural depth with genuine adventure, from camel treks and jeep safaris across red desert valleys to floating effortlessly in the Dead Sea. Beyond its headline sites, the country rewards slower exploration, with Byzantine mosaics in Madaba, hilltop Crusader castles along the King's Highway, and the quiet nature trails of the Dana Biosphere Reserve. Whether the plan is a honeymoon escape to a private desert camp, a family trip combining history with beach time, or a small-group cultural tour, Jordan's mix of UNESCO landmarks, desert landscapes and coastal relaxation makes it one of the most rewarding holiday destinations within easy reach of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
