Don’t forget to buy Jordanian Dinars (JOD) before your departure to Jordan
Planning a trip to Jordan? Jordan sparkles with colours and offers a unique experience. The country awaits you with a warm welcome. Between the ancient cities and the modernity of the country, the landscapes are breathtaking. In view of its modernity, you will think that debit and credit cards are accepted everywhere, but this is not right. Some places that are more remote, but which you would definitely want to visit for their beautiful surroundings, will require you to have some cash and therefore to purchase jordanian dinars. Buying your travel money is quick and easy at all our exchange bureaus. We recommend that you buy jordanian dinars before your departure for a better rate.

- The best places to visit in Jordan during your stay are: Amman, Dead Sea, Jerash, Madaba, Wadi Mujib, Aqaba, Desert Castles, Mount Nebo, Kings Road. Entrance is sometimes free but when you have to pay you might have to pay in cash. As a consequence, buy Jordanian dinars in advance.
- A visit to the Bob Marley Museum is a must!
- Temperatures range from 17 degrees in winter to 28 degrees in summer. However, it is recommended to travel to Jordan in Spring and Autumn.
- For those who are looking for the warmth of Jordan, we suggest these beaches: Amman Beach, South Beach, Al-Ghandour and Tala Bay.
When do you need cash in Jordan?
Cash still plays a very important role in Jordan, even though card payments are relatively well accepted in major cities and tourist areas. This is why it is essential to carry JOD in cash during your trip.
Once you step outside the tourist zones, most establishments will require cash payments, such as restaurants, cafés, or shawarma shops.
Similarly, the country’s markets and souks almost always ask for cash. In general, keep in mind that cash remains indispensable in rural areas.
Tipping also plays an important role in Jordanian culture. It is therefore essential to have JOD in cash to cover this expense.
We recommend exchanging your euros into JOD before your trip to benefit from better exchange rates. Likewise, choosing to pay in cash during your stay helps you keep control of your overall travel budget.
