Arriving to Jordan
Jordan has two commercial airports, Queen Alia International
Airport in the capital of Amman and King Hussein International Airport in
Aqaba. If you’re arriving from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the
United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Morocco, the US, UK, EU, Turkey, China, South
Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Russia, Canada and are
fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you’ll need to present both your vaccination
certificate and a negative PCR test from within 72 hours of boarding the plane
before you depart.
For those over the age of five who haven’t been vaccinated,
you will need to procure a PCR test at the airport upon your arrival, which
costs JD28, or around $39. If you test positive, you’ll have to follow a
seven-day home quarantine and then obtain another PCR test.
You’ll also have to show proof of health insurance before
you board the plane. All visitors arriving from air also need to fill out this
pre-arrival departure form, which will provide you with a QR code you show at
the gate.
Additionally, two land crossings allow visitors to enter
Jordan from Syria and Saudi Arabia. For both the Omari and Jaber border
crossing, you should fill out
this pre-arrival departure form.
Going out
For certain businesses and institutions, you’ll have to show
proof of vaccination to enter. If you want to go to the gym or visit a cinema,
for instance, you’ll need to show that you’ve received at least one dose of a
COVID-19 vaccine. The other facilities affected by this rule are: sports and
fitness facilities, indoor swimming pools in hotels, residential and tourist
complexes, public swimming pools, equestrian clubs, academies and vocational
and technical training centers, Turkish baths, billiards, snooker halls,
electric and electronic game shops, entertainment and amusement parks, indoor
children play areas, cinemas, and educational and cultural centers.
If you want to visit any of the sites in Jordan’s Golden
Triangle (Wadi Rum, Petra, and Aqaba), you need to either be fully vaccinated
or receive a negative PCR test prior to arriving at the site. This rule does
not apply to those under six years of age.
Public gatherings are limited to twenty people. You’ll also
need to put on a mask when you’re outside.
Currently,
Jordan has a curfew that lasts from midnight
(12:00am) until 6:00Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (11) plays the ball
against Milwaukee Bucks power forward P.J. Tucker (17) during the fourth
quarter of game one in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the 2021 NBA
Playoffs at Barclays Centeram. Businesses close at 11:00 pm, giving you an hour
to get home.
Safety
Jordan has launched a dedication campaign to make tourist
hubs completely coronavirus-free. All of the employees at the Dead Sea touristic
zones have been vaccinated, and as of May 30th 90 percent of tourism sector
employees in Aqaba had been vaccinated. The country has recorded low rates of
COVID-19, consistently below 5 percent of those tested, for the past few weeks;
the government has declared that Jordan is at “moderate risk” of COVID-19.
