What budget for activities and outings Jordan?

All tourist sites under the authority of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities are included in the Jordan Pass. This prepaid package, which must be purchased before you enter Jordan, includes tourist visa fees for 30 days and entry to 40 Jordanian sites. The price varies according to the number of days you plan to spend in Petra (between 1 and 3 days) and whether you take the option of visiting the site of Christ's baptism in Bethany.

For other monuments and historical sites managed by private or non-governmental institutions, entrance fees are low (between 1 and 3 DJ).

Entrance fees to the country's Nature Reserves range from 8 DJ to 21 DJ per day.

Although hiking is free (except in the Natural Reserves or in tourist sites such as Petra), we recommend that you hire the services of a guide. The trails are often unmarked and the desert is a hostile environment. Your guide knows the way, the water points, the sources of supplies and how to reach help in case of need.

You'll be able to pay for your purchases by credit card in the larger towns and cities and at the major retailers. It's best to stock up on cash if you're away from urban or tourist centers.

Nightclubs and bars are perceived as places of perdition by many locals. What's more, alcohol is consumed! As a result, these places often charge high prices, but are considerably cheaper than those in Europe, because the standard of living is not the same.

What budget to eat Jordan?

Food is not expensive in Jordan. You can eat a hearty oriental sandwich (falafel, shawarma, sheesh tawouk...) for less than 2 DJ. Expect to pay between 2 and 5 DJ for a meal in a canteen, and between 8 and 15 DJ in a restaurant. The bill will never exceed 25 DJ, unless you eat like 4.

You can eat on the run for next to nothing. A falafel sandwich should never cost more than 2 DJ, or it's a tourist trap. Alcohol is tolerated, usually sold in Christian-run establishments (but not always), and is more expensive than in France. Count 5 DJ for a local draught beer, 15 DJ for a bottle of local wine or arak.

What is the budget for accommodation Jordan?

It is necessary to count between 6 and 10 DJ for a bed in a dormitory, between 12 and 20 DJ for a room in a youth hostel or small basic hotel, between 25 and 75 DJ in a 2** or 3*** hotel and more than 80 DJ for a night in a luxury hotel. Hotels are generally a little more expensive in Amman and on the Dead Sea, where there are only luxury resorts.

Travel budget Jordan and cost of living

The average salary in Jordan is 678 DJ. Thus, the high exchange rate is compensated by a lower standard of living than in Europe.

Low budget: You should expect to pay a minimum of 35 DJ (approx. 43 €) per day, with a night in a dormitory or low-end hotel, travel by minibus and meals in popular snack bars or canteens.

Medium budget: a minimum of 70 D.J. (approx. 85 €) per day, with a night in a comfortable hotel, meals in restaurants and a rental car.

Big budget: a minimum of 150 DJs (approx. 180 €) per day, with a night in a luxury hotel, meals in the best restaurants and a car with an English-speaking driver.
