Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is Jordan safe for tourists?

Yes,  Jordan is one of the safest travel destinations in the Middle East and consistently receives high marks from international travelers. The country maintains stable security and has a long-standing reputation as a welcoming, tourist-friendly nation. Jordan’s tourism police actively operate at key sites such as Petra, Wadi Rum, and Jerash. All Finan Tours guides are professionally trained in safety protocols, and every traveler is assigned a dedicated emergency contact with 24/7 availability throughout their trip. According to the Jordan Tourism Board, the country welcomed over 5 million visitors in 2023 with no significant safety incidents reported at tourist sites.

Jordan is a predominantly Muslim country with deep-rooted traditions, and a few cultural courtesies go a long way. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites such as mosques, churches, or the Baptism Site — shoulders and knees should be covered. In public areas like markets and city streets, smart-casual clothing is respected. Always ask permission before photographing local people, and remove shoes when entering mosques. Greeting people with “Marhaba” (hello) or “As-salamu alaykum” (peace be upon you) is warmly received. Your Finan Tours guide will brief you on local customs specific to each destination before arrival.

Yes, we strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for all trips to Jordan. A good policy should cover emergency medical treatment, trip cancellation or interruption, lost luggage, and emergency evacuation. While Jordan has quality private hospitals — particularly in Amman, medical costs without insurance can be high. Several international insurers offer single-trip policies for Jordan from approximately $30–$350 USD per week depending on coverage level. Finan Tours can recommend trusted international insurance partners upon request.

There are no mandatory vaccinations required to enter Jordan for most nationalities. However, the Jordan Ministry of Health and international health bodies recommend being up to date on routine vaccines including MMR, tetanus-diphtheria, and hepatitis A and B before travel. Travelers visiting desert areas like Wadi Rum should bring strong sun protection (SPF 50+), stay well-hydrated, and carry any personal prescription medications, as specialty drugs may not be widely available outside Amman. Food and water safety is generally good at hotels and restaurants; tap water is technically safe in most cities but bottled water is widely recommended.

Every Finan Tours package is clearly itemized, but standard inclusions across most tours are:

  • Private air-conditioned transportation between all destinations
  • Licensed, English-speaking local guide throughout the tour
  • All entrance fees for listed attractions (e.g. Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum reserve entry)
  • Specified meals — breakfast is included in multi-day tours; lunches and dinners are noted per itinerary
  • Hotel accommodation in 3–5 star properties for multi-day packages
  • 24/7 emergency support and a dedicated local contact

Optional add-ons such as camel rides, hot air balloon over Wadi Rum, or Petra by Night are available at an additional cost and listed separately on each tour page.

Yes, private and custom tour design is one of Finan Tours’ core services. Whether you want to combine Petra with a Dead Sea float and a desert overnight in Wadi Rum, or design a 10-day deep-dive itinerary including off-the-beaten-path sites like Wadi Feynan, Dana Biosphere Reserve, and Umm Qais, the team will build it around your schedule, group size, and budget. Submit your dates and interests through the Contact page, and a tour specialist will respond within 24 hours with a draft itinerary and pricing.

Finan Tours offers both options. Private tours are available for individuals, couples, families, and corporate or incentive groups, your vehicle and guide are exclusively yours for the duration. Small group tours are available for solo travelers or those who prefer a social experience at a lower cost. Group sizes are kept small (typically 8–12 people) to maintain a quality experience. All tours, regardless of format, use the same licensed guides and quality vehicles.

Yes, Finan Tours is highly family-friendly, and most itineraries can be adapted for children of all ages. We recommend classic routes — Petra, Dead Sea, Jerash, and Amman — for families with young children as they combine accessible sites with comfortable facilities. Some adventure-focused activities have minimum age or fitness requirements: the Wadi Mujib siq trail requires participants to be at least 18 years old and a confident swimmer; hot air balloon flights typically require passengers to be at least 5 years old. Age and fitness requirements are clearly listed on each individual tour page.

Booking is simple and can be done in three ways: directly through the tour pages on this website, via WhatsApp message to +962 799 812 858, or by email at info@finantours.com. Once your dates and tour type are confirmed, you’ll receive a full written itinerary, a booking confirmation, and payment instructions within 24 hours. For custom tours, a brief consultation (by phone or WhatsApp) is usually scheduled first to finalize details.


Finan Tours accepts payment by international bank transfer, credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), and cash (USD, EUR, or JOD — Jordanian Dinar) upon arrival. For most tours, a deposit of 20–30% is required at the time of booking to secure your dates, with the balance due before or on the first day of the tour. Full payment details and currency options are confirmed in your booking confirmation email.

Yes. Finan Tours offers a flexible cancellation and amendment policy. Cancellations made more than 14 days before the tour start date receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations within 7–14 days may forfeit 50% of the deposit, and cancellations within 48 hours may be non-refundable depending on pre-arranged third-party costs (e.g. hotel bookings, reserve permits). Date changes and itinerary amendments can be made free of charge up to 7 days before departure, subject to availability. Contact us directly via WhatsApp or email for the fastest response.

Absolutely. Tour extensions and add-ons can be arranged at any point before or during your trip, subject to availability. Popular extensions include adding a night in Wadi Rum under the stars, a morning at the Dead Sea, a visit to Aqaba’s Red Sea coast, or a day trip to Umm Qais overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Contact your Finan Tours representative at least 48 hours in advance for same-trip additions.

The best time to visit Jordan is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). During these seasons, daytime temperatures are comfortable (18–28°C / 64–82°F), making walking tours of Petra, Jerash, and Amman particularly enjoyable. Summer (June–August) brings intense heat, especially in Wadi Rum and Aqaba, where temperatures can reach 40°C (104°F) — desert tours are manageable with early morning starts but require extra preparation. Winter (December–February) can bring cold nights in Petra and Wadi Rum (near freezing), though the Dead Sea and Aqaba remain mild. Petra in winter also sees far fewer crowds.

The ideal trip length depends on how many sites you want to cover:

  • 3–4 days: Petra + Wadi Rum (the essential Jordan experience)
  • 5–7 days: Add the Dead Sea, Jerash, Madaba, Mount Nebo, and Amman city tour
  • 8–10 days: Include Aqaba’s Red Sea, Ajloun Castle, Dana Biosphere Reserve, and the Baptism Site at Bethany
  • 10+ days: A full Jordan journey including off-the-beaten-path destinations like Wadi Feynan, Umm Qais, and Ma’in Hot Springs

Finan Tours offers ready-made itineraries for all durations — browse the Tours section for 1-day, 3-day, 5-day, 7-day, and 10-day options.

Packing for Jordan depends on the season, but these essentials apply year-round:

  • Footwear: Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes with grip — essential for Petra’s rocky terrain and Wadi Rum
  • Clothing: Lightweight layers; modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) for religious sites; a warm layer for desert evenings
  • Sun protection: SPF 50+ sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses — Jordan’s sun is strong even in spring
  • Hydration: A reusable water bottle; bottled water is cheap and widely available at all sites
  • Medications: Any personal prescriptions plus basic first aid (antihistamines, rehydration sachets, blister patches)
  • Power adapter: Jordan uses Type B/C/G plugs (220V); a universal adapter is recommended


Yes. Please notify us of any dietary requirements, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal-only, or specific allergies at the time of booking. Jordanian cuisine is naturally abundant in vegetable-based dishes (hummus, falafel, fattoush, maqluba), making it one of the more food-flexible destinations in the region. For severe allergies, we coordinate in advance with restaurants and hotels to ensure safe meal options at every stop on your itinerary.

Guest safety is the first priority at Finan Tours, and all guides are trained to monitor weather conditions in real time. In cases of extreme heat, tours are restructured with earlier departures and added shade stops. In rare events of flash flooding (most likely in Wadi Mujib or Wadi Rum during winter), affected activities are rescheduled or replaced with alternative experiences of equal value at no extra charge. You will always be informed as early as possible, typically the evening before, if any itinerary changes are needed.

Most nationalities can obtain a Jordan visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and at the major land border crossings. The visa-on-arrival fee is typically JOD 40 (approximately $56 USD) for a single-entry tourist visa valid for 30 days, extendable at any police station. Citizens of some GCC countries and several others are exempt from visa fees. A small number of nationalities must obtain a visa in advance through a Jordanian embassy. Finan Tours provides up-to-date visa guidance for all nationalities, contact us before travel if you’re unsure of your requirements.

The Jordan Pass is an official pre-purchase package issued by the Jordan Tourism Board that bundles your tourist visa fee and entrance fees to over 40 attractions, including Petra (the single most expensive site at JOD 50 for a one-day ticket). The Jordan Pass costs between JOD 70–80 depending on how many days of Petra access you want (1, 2, or 3 days). For most international visitors spending 3+ nights in Jordan and visiting Petra, it represents a saving of at least JOD 40–50. It must be purchased before arriving in Jordan at www.jordanpass.jo. Finan Tours strongly recommends it for first-time visitors and multi-day itineraries.
