Jordan Drops Quarantine Requirement
Jordan has implemented fairly strict entry requirements, but recently relaxed the mandatory quarantine requirement. However, Jordan is still being extremely cautious.
A negative PCR test is required for all U.S. citizens to enter. Another test will be given upon arrival and will cost $40 per person. That fee is collected at check-in before departing for Jordan.
This news will likely be exciting to many travelers eager to visit Jordan, known for having some of the most incredible places to explore in the Middle East. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra and the Dead Sea come to mind. These areas are open to visitors but guests must be prepared to mask up! As always, please be respectful of local laws and customs if you do choose to travel. The safety and health of locals should always be a top priority.
