Jordan is blessed with a Mediterranean climate for comfortable year-round travel. The best times to visit Jordan are spring (April-May) which bring warm days and cool evenings and Autumn (September-October) when the weather is delightful and dry (but not too hot) and the Dead Sea and Red Sea are still pleasantly warm. Nights in Amman may get a bit cool, but it’s perfect sweater weather. Winter season, from November through March, is generally mild; spells of rain are mixed in with sunny days. Aqaba and Jordan Valley (Dead Sea) are ideal winter resorts with temperature averaging 16-22°C (61-72 F) between November and April.

The local currency is the Jordanian Dinar (symbol JD or JOD), which is often called “JD”. It is divided into 100 piasters (Pronounced Qirsh) or 1000 fils. There are 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 JD notes (bills) used, and you will usually see prices written as 4.750. There also different coins from: 5, 10, 25, and 50 piasters. It is useful to carry some coins and low denominations. In terms of credit cards American Express, Visa, Diners Club and MasterCard are accepted in hotels, restaurants and larger shops. ATMs can be found in most of the larger towns and throughout Amman.

Decades of political stability, strict law enforcement, excellent relations with all its neighbors have made Jordan an oasis of peace and stability with superior living standards and highly industrialized economy.
