Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is present in middle eastern countries including Jordan. There is little information on how people become infected. But, there is increasing correlation in human contact with camels. Symptoms of MERS includes fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

Travellers should take the following precautions to prevent MERS:

  • Wash hands often and thoroughly.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, ears, and mouth.
  • Avoid close contact with those who are ill, especially if they could have MERS.

A passport which is valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure is required to enter the country. Canadians are required to obtain a visitor visa, which is valid for 30 days. Those arriving by air or through the Sheikh Hussein border crossing may obtain a visa on arrival. Those entering the country via the King Hussein Bridge or Wadi Araba border crossing must obtain a visa either online, or from a Jordan mission, prior to travelling.

Visas can be obtained on arrival. But, it is best to make sure you have yours taken care of ahead of time.

Visit the Canadian Travel and Tourism website for more information on entry and exit requirements.

Jordan is known to have shorter, cooler winters and longer, hotter, dryer summers. But, even though summer days tend to be hot, the night time can be rather cold. Rain is scarce in Jordan but when it does fall, it tends to be from October to March. March to May and September to November tend to be the best times to visit based on the prime weather conditions.

Jordan has a high threat of terrorism from indigenous and transnational groups. Both have planned and executed attacks in recent years. It is imperative tourists remain aware of their surroundings. Terrorists may target places like shopping malls, night clubs, resorts and transportation stops. If you notice any suspicious persons or objects, report it immediately.

Canadians also tend to encounter a lot of petty crimes as well such as pick-pockets and purse-snatchers. To avoid being a victim of such crimes, remain vigilant and on guard. Keep your belongings secured in either a backpack or another bag which you have a firm hold on.

Petra, a city carved into the mountains by the Nabataean Arabs, is one of the Seven Wonders. Visitors can experience the city in many ways from archaeological parks to excavations.

There are also several historical locations to visit in Petra such as the Dana Nature Reserve and the Shobak Castle.

Deciding what to take on a trip can be tricky. For Jordan, be sure you have these items in your bag:

  • Sunscreen to protect against the strong UV rays in Jordan, use it even if you are walking around in the city.
  • Clothing which covers the legs and shoulders. Jordan is a Muslim country and bare legs or shoulders can be seen as offensive. They should also be light so you do not overheat.
  • Sturdy shoes such as hiking boots- the desert is tough on shoes which are made from cloth.
  • Hand sanitizer helps prevent spreading diseases such as cholera or traveller’s diarrhea.

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. Once in Jordan, the information for the Canadian Embassy is:

Embassy of Canada – Amman
133 Zahran Street,
Amman, Jordan
Phone: +962 6 590 1500 Ext. 3341 / 3342
