Should I get the Jordan Pass?
The Jordan Pass includes your Visa and entry fees (40 JD) to enter the country (as long as you stay at least 3 nights in Jordan) and gives you access to over 40 of Jordan's historic sites! With the Joran Pass, you will be able to skip the queues and simply show your pass at the entrance of the attraction that you want to visit. Keep in mind, you can only visit each attraction once with the Jordan Pass.
To obtain the Jordan pass, you need to complete an online application form, providing the length and dates of your stay, passport details, and pay the fees for the pass. There are a few different passes you can, depending on how long you will be staying in Jordan.
Once your application is approved, they will send you an email confirmation with your pass and a QR code that you will present at the historical attraction you plan to visit. You will be asked to show identification that the pass belongs to you so bring your drivers license or passport with you. Make sure to buy the pass in advance, as it is more expensive to get the pass at the airport.
There are 3 different passes you can get: Jordan Wanderer, Jordan Explorer, and Jordan Expert. They all provide access to the 40 locations and wave the tourist fees if you're staying 3 nights or more, the only difference is how many days you plan to visit Petra. If only one day, get the Jordan Wanderer. If two days, get the Jordan Explorer. If visiting Petra for 3 days, get the Jordan Expert.
