Quick answer
Most Indian passport holders should arrange a Jordan visa before travel. A visa on arrival at Amman's Queen Alia airport is usually possible only if you also hold a valid US, UK, Schengen or Canadian visa. The Jordan Pass waives the visa fee only for travellers who are eligible for a visa on arrival and stay at least two whole nights. Rules change, so confirm before you fly. Our visa desk does not prepare Jordan visas, but we are happy to advise.

Visiting with adab
- We visit the graves of the Companions and scholars as the Sunnah teaches: give salam, make du'a for them and move on. Our guides do not lead tawaf, touching or asking from the dead at any shrine.
- Tours are planned around the five prayers.
- Travel onward to Al-Aqsa needs separate entry permission and is not covered here.
