Jordan is a versatile country which is ideal for an adventurous tour. Spread throughout the country, you’ll find a plethora of beautiful and unique attractions, such as the world wonder Petra, the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum. Fortunately, many of these attractions are included in the Jordan Pass. In this blog, we’ll explain what the Jordan Pass is and where you can buy it.
What is the Jordan Pass?
Jordan has created a special pass for all tourists to get the most out of their visit to the country. This pass actually has two major benefits. When you purchase the Jordan Pass before traveling to Jordan and stay for a minimum of 3 nights, the cost of the tourist visa is covered. You don’t have to pay for a visa upon arrival in Jordan, which normally costs around €50. Additionally, the Jordan Pass grants access to over 40 different attractions throughout Jordan. The attractions included are Jerash, Wadi Rum, the Citadel and the Roman Theater of Amman, Al-Karak Castle, and many more. Additionally, the entrance to one or more days of the world wonder Petra is also included. Ideal if you plan to take a tour through Jordan.
The different versions of the Jordan Pass
There are three different versions of the Jordan Pass. The only difference between the three versions is the number of days you would like to visit Petra. You can choose between 1, 2, or 3 consecutive days of access to Petra.

Where and when is the best time to buy the Jordan Pass?
You can conveniently purchase this pass through the official website of the Jordan Pass. Please note that you do need a credit card to make the payment. We recommend that you purchase the Jordan Pass in good time before you leave for Jordan. In principle, you receive the pass immediately after ordering, but it seems wise to purchase it a few days in advance to prevent unpleasant situations. After ordering, the Jordan Pass is valid for 12 months.
After the first use of the pass at one of the attractions, the pass is still valid for two weeks. Also, keep in mind that you always need to show your passport when using the Jordan Pass.
