The best accommodations Jordan

Budget & Tips

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.

To be booked

You will have a hard time finding accommodation in the camps in the immediate vicinity of Diseh during the Diseh Camel Festival which is held in December. This brings together many competitive camel drivers and camel racing enthusiasts

Easter is usually the busiest time in Petra, but not all European countries go on vacation at the same time and there is a wide range of accommodation in Wadi Musa. However, if you want a particular hotel, book as early as possible to avoid disappointment

Due to shorter working hours during the Ramadan period, it is best to book your accommodation at least 24 hours in advance.

What's very local

All hotels and even Bedouin camps in Wadi Rum offer triple or family rooms. You can travel with your children and share the same room without any problem.

If you are staying in Wadi Rum, make sure you book half board, to avoid paying a fortune for an average meal once you get there

For food lovers

Hotel room rates are usually inclusive of breakfast, but be sure to ask for confirmation. Jordanians eat salty food for breakfast and you will find lebneh, hummus or falafel on hotel buffets. This is an opportunity to have a hearty breakfast and skip lunch, especially if you sleep in.

Smokers

Jordan is one of those countries where it is still possible to find smoking rooms in hotels. However, fewer and fewer establishments still offer this service, due to the bad smell impregnated in curtains, pillows, comforters and carpets.

Tourist traps

Jordan is a safe country and you are not exposed to any particular scam when you go there.
