You can comfortably see Petra in a day. Everyone has different levels of historic site tolerance: you could spend five to six hours exploring, or twice that time – but even so, a day gives you plenty of time.

Jordanians typically respect those who are kind, friendly, and hospitable. They are generally socially conservative; family values and honor are fiercely protected. Jordanians are proud of their rich cultural heritage.

The Jordanian people are a very friendly bunch. Maybe it’s because of the downturn in tourism over recent years which has made them more appreciative and welcoming to those tourists that do make it over here. Or maybe it’s just the way they are. You decide.

You will probably be able to find a number of free Wi-Fi spots throughout Jordan, and many restaurants and cafes will have free open access to Wi-Fi. Don’t expect to find Wi-Fi in many of the desert areas, where you’ll often not have a full 24 hours of electricity.
