Деньги и наличные

Валюта: 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.
