Jordan is a modern and welcoming country, and visitors can dress comfortably, but modest dress is appreciated, especially outside the main tourist areas. For women, covering the shoulders and knees is a good guideline.
In Amman and the resorts, Western-style clothing is common, and swimwear is fine at the Dead Sea and Aqaba. When visiting religious sites, such as mosques and churches, modest dress is required, and women may need to cover their heads.
In the desert and the highlands, the weather can change quickly, so layers are essential. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for Petra and the hiking trails.
Dressing respectfully shows consideration for the local culture.
