Jordan / المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية – Let’s explore here

Jordan is a stunningly beautiful country in Western Asia. Home to several empires spanning a very long and rich history. To the East lies desert, whilst in the West, rain is plentiful and the land is very fertile. Its neighbours include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Israel and the Palestine territories.

What currency do they use in Jordan?

In Jordan they use the Jordanian Dinar. Cash is widely used. The use of credit / debit cards is not widely accepted. Traveller’s cheques are not readily accepted. There are many ATMs in cities and towns throughout the country.
