Protests occur in Amman and other major cities in Jordan. Most protests are peaceful but could become violent. Avoid protests and large public gatherings. Some land border crossings from Israel into Jordan are scheduled to be opened daily, but crossings may close without notice and for an unknown period of time.

When traveling to Jordan in 2026, visitors should exercise a high degree of cultural and physical awareness. Cultural sensitivity is paramount: dress modestly by covering shoulders and knees, and avoid public displays of affection, which can be seen as disrespectful. During the month of Ramadan, it is essential to refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours. From a safety perspective, be wary of the regional security situation and stay away from demonstrations or large gatherings. While the country is generally safe, avoid traveling alone in remote desert areas like Wadi Rum without a guide. Additionally, be cautious of petty scams in high-tourist zones like Petra, and always verify taxi fares before starting your journey. Health-wise, stick to bottled water and be cautious with street food to avoid "traveler's stomach." Respecting local Bedouin hospitality by accepting a gesture of tea is recommended, as declining can sometimes be viewed as rude.
