RECOMMEND CLOTH
When packing for your trip to Jordan, it's advisable to consider the climate and cultural norms. Here are some clothing recommendations:
-
Light and Modest Clothing: Given Jordan's predominantly warm climate, especially in the summer, lightweight and breathable fabrics are essential. Long, loose-fitting clothing can provide protection from the sun and help you stay cool.
-
Conservative Attire: While Jordan is relatively liberal, especially in urban areas, it's respectful to dress modestly, particularly when visiting religious sites. For both men and women, covering the shoulders and knees is often appropriate.
-
Comfortable Footwear: Jordan is known for its archaeological sites and desert landscapes, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. If you plan to visit Petra, for example, be prepared for some uneven terrain.
-
Swimwear: If you're planning to visit the Dead Sea or Aqaba, pack swimwear. Modesty is still appreciated, especially away from beach resorts.
-
A Light Jacket or Shawl: Evenings can be cool, especially during the winter months. A light jacket or shawl is handy for cooler temperatures.
-
Head Covering: While not mandatory, it can be respectful to have a scarf or hat to cover your head, especially when visiting religious sites.
-
Rain Gear (in winter): If you're traveling during the rainy season (November to April), a compact rain jacket or umbrella can come in handy.
Always check the specific weather conditions during your travel dates to pack accordingly. Additionally, consider the activities you have planned, as certain excursions may require specific clothing, such as hiking gear or comfortable walking shoes.
