Jordan Pass: Should You Consider Buying It?

The Jordan Pass may be a good value for travelers who plan to visit multiple tourist sites in Jordan and stay for more than three nights. With the pass, visitors can enter many of the top tourist sites without paying entry fees. However, for those with short stays or limited site visits, the Jordan Pass may not be worth the cost. It's important to consider your itinerary and pass cost before purchasing. 

Explained: What is the Jordan Pass?

The Jordan Pass is a combined ticket that allows travelers to visit more than 30 of the most popular tourist attractions in Jordan without paying additional entrance fees. In addition, the pass waives the visa fee for those who stay in the country for more than three nights. The pass can be purchased online before traveling to Jordan and is available in three different options: Jordan Wanderer, Jordan Explorer, and Jordan Expert.

However, it is important to carefully consider your itinerary and the cost of the pass before purchasing to ensure it is a good value for your specific travel plans. 

Is the Jordan Pass Worth the Money?

Whether or not the Jordan Pass is worth it depends on a few factors, such as the length of your stay, the number of tourist attractions you plan to visit, and whether or not you will be visiting Petra. If you are staying in Jordan for longer than three nights and plan to visit multiple tourist attractions, including Petra, then the Jordan Pass can save you money by waiving the visa fee and including free entrance to more than 30 sites. However, if you are only staying for a short time or not visiting many attractions, then the Pass may not be worth the cost. Ultimately, it's best to calculate your expected expenses and compare them to the cost of the Pass to determine whether it's worth it for you. 

Jordan Pass for Children: Should You Get It?

It depends on the age of your children and whether they plan to visit any of the included tourist attractions. Children under the age of 12 who are accompanied by their parents can usually enter most popular tourist destinations in Jordan for free, so there is no need to purchase a Jordan Pass for them. However, if your children are over the age of 12 and plan to visit any of the included attractions, then it may be worth considering purchasing a Jordan Pass for them.

After completing the payment, you will receive the pass in PDF format, which you can either print out or save on your phone.

When arriving in Jordan, show your Jordan Pass to the immigration officers at the airport to indicate that you have already paid for your visa through the Pass. If you are staying in Jordan for more than three nights, the visa fee will be waived. If you are staying for less than three nights, you will still have to pay the visa fee upon departure.

It's important to note that some sites may require you to reserve a time slot for your visit in advance, especially during peak season. Be sure to check the details and requirements for each site before your visit. 

Jordan Pass Validity: How Long is it Valid For?

The Jordan Pass is valid for two weeks from the time you first use it to gain entrance into a tourist attraction. However, it is important to note that from the day you purchase the pass, you have 12 months to use it. So, you can purchase the Jordan Pass up to a year before your trip and it will still be valid when you arrive in Jordan.
