Jordan

Yes, but if you buy the Jordan Pass online before your trip and stay for at least 3 nights, your Visa on Arrival fee is completely waived.

100% yes. It costs around 70-80 JOD depending on your Petra days. Since the Petra entry alone is 50 JOD and the visa is 40 JOD, it pays for itself immediately.

Extremely safe. Despite being in a volatile region, Jordan is a peaceful, heavily secured country. Crime against tourists is incredibly rare.

Absolutely not. Drones are strictly illegal in Jordan without heavy, near-impossible-to-get military permits. It will be confiscated at the airport.

Yes, Middle Eastern cuisine is very veg-friendly. You'll easily find hummus, moutabal, falafel, fatayer, and fresh salads. However, main courses are meat-heavy, so you might get bored of mezze after a few days.

Jordan is a conservative Muslim country. Both men and women should cover their shoulders and knees. Avoid tight or revealing clothing outside of resort areas in Aqaba and the Dead Sea.

No. Always stick to bottled or filtered water to avoid stomach bugs.

Yes, but it's expensive. You can buy it at liquor stores in Amman and Aqaba, or at licensed hotels and bars. It is strictly prohibited to drink in public spaces.
