Jordan Pass Guide: Prices, Petra Days & Visa Fee Rules
The Jordan Pass combines prepaid entry to more than 40 attractions with Petra access and, for eligible travellers, a tourist visa-fee waiver. The three packages mainly differ by how many consecutive days you can enter Petra.
For many eligible international visitors who plan to visit Petra and several included attractions, it can simplify the trip and improve value. Current official prices are 70 JD for one Petra day, 75 JD for two consecutive Petra days and 80 JD for three consecutive Petra days. The visa-fee waiver has separate conditions, so do not treat the pass itself as a visa.
Packages
01
Choose the Petra days first
The official packages are Jordan Wanderer (70 JD, one Petra day), Jordan Explorer (75 JD, two consecutive Petra days) and Jordan Expert (80 JD, three consecutive Petra days). The wider attraction coverage is similar; Petra duration is the main package difference.
The official FAQ states that the pass can waive the tourist single-entry visa fee when it is purchased before arrival and you stay a minimum of two whole nights / three days in Jordan. Eligibility depends on nationality and entry rules, so verify your own visa status separately before relying on the waiver.
◆Buy before arrival for the waiver benefit
◆Minimum stay condition applies
◆The waiver applies to the single-entry tourist visa fee, not every visa type
Attractions
03
Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum, Amman Citadel and many other sites are covered
The official attraction directory lists more than 40 sites, museums and castles. Because opening hours and closures can change, treat inclusion and opening as separate questions: a covered site can still be closed on your travel date.
Validity
04
Understand the two validity clocks
Official Jordan Pass guidance says the pass is available for use within three months of purchase and then expires one month after the first attraction scan. It is non-transferable and non-refundable under the published terms.
Important exception
05
Check the Baptism Site add-on at checkout
The current official Jordan Pass FAQ says Bethany Beyond the Jordan / the Baptism Site is not included by default and can be added for an extra fee when buying the pass. Because the official attraction directory also displays the Baptism Site, verify the exact checkout terms on the official Jordan Pass site before publishing or purchasing; the FAQ should be treated as the operational rule until clarified.
The pass is not automatically the right product for every traveller
Short stays, travellers who do not need the visa-fee waiver, children under 12 visiting attractions with their parents, and travellers with different nationality rules should calculate their own case instead of assuming the headline saving applies. The official FAQ also states the pass is not available for Arabic nationality holders.
