This article offers a taste of Jordan’s culinary heritage, highlighting traditional dishes and what you’ll encounter on a journey through Jordan’s vibrant food scene

This 7-day Jordan itinerary takes you through Jordan’s main attractions, blending nature and culture with iconic sites and landscapes. The trip is designed as a self-drive itinerary but can be adapted for public transport or tours. However, with fixed public schedules, adding a few extra days is recommended.

Before You Go:

• Jordan Pass: Buy the Jordan Pass online for free access to major attractions (including Petra) and waived visa fees. Although it’s recommended to print it, we had no issues using the digital version.
• Safety & Police Presence: Jordan is generally safe, even for female travelers. We were two female travellers on our own, and majority of interactions with locals involved them shouting "welcome to Jordan" to us, just while walking or driving by. During one week's vacation we got catcalled once. Jordan also has a strong police presence, both in the cities and on the roads. During low season in Petra we probably saw more policemen than tourists!  Note that if you’re driving, expect routine police checks on the road, so keep your license and registration handy.
• Food: Meat is a staple in Jordanian cuisine, but vegetarian options are available in Amman and other large cities. For recommended Jordanian dishes (and desserts!), see our food guide.
