المال والنقد
العملة: JOD · Jordanian dinar
The dinar is pegged to the US dollar (about 1 JD = 1.41 USD). Cards work in hotels, malls and many restaurants in Amman and Aqaba; carry cash for taxis, small shops, Wadi Rum camps and tips. Keep small notes, as change can be short. ATM fees can reach several JD, especially at the airport.

Tipping is expected in Jordan's tourist industry: waiters, guides, drivers and hotel staff. Some restaurants include a service charge on the bill; check before adding more.
| المطاعم | About 10% if no service charge is on the bill (varies); small change on top is appreciated even when it is. |
|---|---|
| المقاهي والبارات | Round up or leave small change. |
| سيارات الأجرة وتطبيقات التوصيل | Rounding up is normal; not required. |

رسوم الخدمة: ما الصحيح

أساليب ضغط يجب الانتباه إليها
At Petra, horse handlers say the short horse ride at the entrance is 'included in your ticket' and then push for a big tip or an extended ride. Touts on trails claim you need a guide when you do not. Agree any price in full before starting, and say 'La, shukran' to offers you do not want.
عبارات مفيدة
- الحساب لو سمحت (il-hisab law samaht) The bill, please.
- الخدمة مشمولة؟ (il-khidmeh mashmooleh?) Is service included?
- لا، شكرا (la, shukran) No, thank you.
آداب التعامل
- Dress modestly outside resorts: shoulders and knees covered; women cover hair in mosques.
- Remove shoes when entering mosques and homes.
- Accept tea or coffee when offered; it is a key part of hospitality.
- Use your right hand for eating and passing things.
- Avoid public displays of affection; during Ramadan do not eat or drink in public in daytime.
- Bargaining is expected in souks and with some taxis and tour offers.
