Trip Packing Suggestions

Travel documents: passport, flight itineraries/receipts, travel insurance policy, travel itinerary and contacts information kept in hand luggage.
Good walking shoes with adequate ankle support and rubber/gripping solescare VERY important! (Note: Sandals and open-toed shoes not recommended when visiting the ancient sites and deserts, due to the possibility of encountering scorpions).
Lightweight clothing for spring/summer/fall – cotton is best; heavier clothing is advisable for winter; we recommend long or capri-length trousers.
Swimwear, especially if you will be at the Dead Sea or Aqaba (‘water shoes’ recommended for the Dead Sea due to rocks, salt crystals along shoreline, sandals or flip-flops for resorts and pool-side).
(See our notes under ‘Customs’ for suggestions on modest dress recommended for this destination).
Jacket or coat (necessary for winter and very advisable for cool evenings in other seasons).
Sunscreen (high SPF), lip balm (with SPF protection), hat, sunglasses, travel umbrella and day pack (for carrying needed personal items during the day).
Scarf (for ladies, when visiting mosques).
Toiletries, adequate supplies of your medications and feminine products (your brands/meds may be unobtainable in Jordan), hand-sanitizer and small packets of tissues. (Note: we suggest that you keep your medications in your hand luggage, rather than checked bags).
Simple medical supplies such as anti-diarrheal, laxative, bandaids, ibuprofen, ear plugs, etc.
Small flashlight (for evening excursions) and travel alarm clock.
Electrical converter/adaptor set (Jordan has 220V electrical voltage and several types of outlets, predominantly the ‘UK type’. (Note: We can give you additional advice and suggestions about bringing laptops).
