The Jordan Pass is the rare tourism bundle that is almost always worth buying — but "almost" deserves an explanation. Here is the complete breakdown we give our guests.
What it is and what it costs
The Jordan Pass is an official government package bought online before your trip. It comes in three tiers, differing only in Petra days: Jordan Wanderer (70 JOD, 1 day at Petra), Jordan Explorer (75 JOD, 2 days), and Jordan Expert (80 JOD, 3 days). All tiers include 36+ attractions: Wadi Rum, Jerash, Amman Citadel, Ajloun, Kerak, Umm Qais, Madaba sites and more.
The visa waiver — the real trick
If you stay at least three nights in Jordan, the Pass waives the 40 JOD tourist visa fee on arrival. Add Petra's standalone 50 JOD ticket, and the math is over: 40 + 50 = 90 JOD of value against a 70 JOD pass, before you have visited a single other site.
When it is NOT worth it
Skip it if you stay fewer than three nights (no visa waiver), enter on a cruise-day visit to Aqaba's free-visa zone, or genuinely will not visit Petra. Note the Baptism Site, Petra by Night, and the Wadi Mujib trails are not included.
How to use it
Buy at jordanpass.jo before arrival, keep the PDF on your phone, show it at immigration instead of paying the visa, and scan it at each site's ticket office. It is valid 12 months from purchase and two weeks from first site use.
All our private tours are priced with or without entrance fees, so Jordan Pass holders pay less — just tell us you have one when booking on WhatsApp.
