Jordan 

How to pack 

As a woman when traveling to a conservative country trying to decide what to wear can be picky. When going to other countries  I always try and be respectful of other countries and their cultures. So before going to Jordan, we did as much research as we could about what to wear and what would be appropriate. 

​

Head coverings and scarves- Women in Jordan are not required to cover their heads or hair in scarves or coverage. Scarves do work really well to use as spontaneous head and shoulder protection and modest coverage. 

​

How to dress- Most of what I read just said to be sure to dress modestly, keeping shoulders and knees covered will keep unwanted looks away. We wore longer dresses and loose-fitting clothes that were made of airy materials. 

​

Essentials 

1.   Sunglasses

2.   Sandals- we walk a lot while traveling good supportive sandals and comfy flip-flops are a must! 

3.   Foldable backpack- that you can easily pack away or take out when wanted. 

4.   Safari bag- things you need/ want throughout the day to keep with you or in the car. (or in the backpack)

5.  Refillable water bottle- Bringing a water bottle that was insulated really helped keeping out water cold!

Safety Tips​

 

Dont carry things with you that are valuable, especially at night. When taking out cash try to only take out what you need at that time so no one sees how much you have at once. 

​

Helpful tips 

No matter how safe it is where you are traveling it is always good to be aware of your surroundings and never leave your valuables unattended. Be careful of areas with lots of tourists they tend to draw pickpockets. 

​

 Air tags are always a good idea, lots of travelers are dealing with lost or damaged luggage. It also helps if anything is taken when you are not expecting it, have air tags in your purse etc when going around town.
