Packing for a trip to Jordan can be a bit tricky, as the country’s diverse landscapes and varying climates mean you’ll need a versatile wardrobe and a few essential items. Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, camping under the stars in Wadi Rum, or floating in the Dead Sea, here’s a complete guide on what to bring for your Jordan adventure.

1. Lightweight, Breathable Clothing for Hot Days

Jordan’s climate is mostly warm and dry, especially during the spring and summer months. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to keep cool. Modesty is also appreciated in Jordan, so choose clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, particularly when visiting religious or historical sites.

*Adore Jordan recommends bringing long, loose-fitting shirts and pants for a comfortable, respectful way to beat the heat and stay protected from the sun.

2. Warm Layers for Cool Evenings and Desert Nights

While daytime temperatures can soar, evenings in Jordan, especially in the desert areas like Wadi Rum, can get surprisingly cool. Pack a warm sweater or jacket to stay comfortable during nighttime activities or if you plan to camp under the stars.

Adore Jordan’s desert excursions include everything you need for a cozy night, but we suggest bringing a warm layer for added comfort.

3. Comfortable Walking Shoes or Hiking Boots

Many of Jordan’s attractions, such as Petra and Jerash, involve a fair amount of walking on uneven terrain. Bring comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots with good grip and support to navigate rocky paths and sandy areas comfortably.

*Adore Jordan’s expert guides ensure you’re well-prepared for each adventure, from city walking tours to desert hikes, so a good pair of shoes will go a long way.

4. Sun Protection: Hat, Sunglasses, and Sunscreen

The Jordanian sun can be intense, so don’t forget sun protection essentials like a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. These will help protect you from sunburn and make your time exploring more enjoyable.

*With Adore Jordan, you’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor excursions, so protecting yourself from the sun is key to staying energized and comfortable throughout the day.

5. A Daypack or Small Backpack

A small, sturdy backpack is perfect for carrying daily essentials like water, snacks, sunscreen, and a camera. Choose one with secure zippers and padded straps for added comfort during long outings.

*Adore Jordan offers complimentary refreshments and snacks on many tours, but having a daypack allows you to bring your own essentials for each adventure.

6. Reusable Water Bottle

Jordan’s climate can be dry, so staying hydrated is essential. A reusable water bottle is not only eco-friendly but also convenient for refilling along the way. Look for an insulated one to keep your water cool in the heat.

*Adore Jordan supports sustainable travel practices, so bringing a reusable water bottle helps reduce single-use plastics and keeps you refreshed on the go.

7. Swimsuit and Quick-Dry Towel for the Dead Sea

If you’re planning to experience the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea or go snorkeling in Aqaba, pack a swimsuit and a quick-dry towel. The mineral-rich mud and salty water of the Dead Sea make it an unforgettable experience, and a quick-dry towel will come in handy.

*Adore Jordan organizes seamless Dead Sea visits, including access to premium facilities, so you can relax and make the most of this unique experience.

8. Travel Adapters and Portable Chargers

Jordan uses Type C, D, F, and G plug types, so bring a universal travel adapter to keep your electronics charged. Additionally, a portable charger is useful if you’ll be out all day taking photos, as many sites have limited charging options.

*Adore Jordan’s guides are always ready to assist with any travel needs, but being prepared with your own adapters and chargers ensures you’re powered up for every adventure.

9. Personal First-Aid Kit

It’s always wise to carry a small first-aid kit with items like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any personal medications. Although Jordan’s major cities have pharmacies, having basic medical supplies on hand is helpful for any minor scrapes or discomforts.

*Adore Jordan prioritizes your safety, with trained guides and on-call support, but having a small first-aid kit is a smart addition for personal peace of mind.*

10. A Journal or Travel Diary

Jordan is a place full of incredible sights, and a journal or travel diary allows you to record your impressions and memories. From the beauty of Petra to the tranquility of Wadi Rum, capturing your thoughts will help you relive your journey for years to come.

*Adore Jordan’s customized tours are filled with unforgettable experiences, and a journal gives you the perfect way to keep track of every moment.
