Things to do in Jordan

Top experiences at a glance

Jordan’s Things to Do scene is dominated by tours, which drive most bookings and shape the year. Demand peaks in January and dips in July, so expect the busiest season in January and quieter months through mid-year.

Best activities by traveller type

Families will find guided tours the easiest option — organised itineraries take the hassle out of moving between highlights. Couples can enjoy more curated, mid-range tours that balance sightseeing with relaxation. Solo travellers and small groups benefit from the wide range of tour styles and group sizes on offer, which make it simple to join others and meet fellow travellers.

What travellers from Australia tend to book ahead

Most travellers from Australia book about five days ahead on average, so there’s flexibility to book a day or two out; early planners still tend to lock things in around three weeks in advance. Booking ahead matters most in January, when demand is at its peak and popular tours fill up faster.

How the categories compare for price and who they suit

Tours are both the cheapest and priciest listed category here and also offer the widest spread of options, so they cover entry-level to premium choices depending on the style and inclusions. That range makes tours the go-to for a broad mix of travellers — budget-conscious visitors, families and those seeking a more comfortable, higher-end experience can all find something in the same category. For most travellers, tours are the easiest way in and the most versatile option for exploring Jordan.
