Rules in force · 7Downtown steps and steep lanes are not for wheeled suitcases
- Jordan ↗Get the visa or the Jordan Pass only on official channels; lookalike sites charge extra.
- Jordan ↗Yellow taxis must use the meter; if the driver refuses, use a ride-hailing app instead.
- Jordan ↗In Ramadan, eating, drinking or smoking in public in daylight is not accepted; hotels and tourist restaurants serve.
- Jordan ↗Do not pack a drone: import without a prior permit is refused and the drone is held at the border.
- Amman Governorate ↗Plan every leg by taxi, ride-hailing or a private driver; there is no useful rail, and buses run to their own timetable.
- Amman ↗Downtown steps and steep lanes are not for wheeled suitcases: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Amman ↗Friday is a weekend day: many downtown shops and some sites open only after midday.

Rescue anchors
A rescue anchor is a spot where you can stop and recover if the walk goes wrong: a bench, a café, a toilet. Every letter on the map is one anchor, and each has a card below. We check that any point in the cluster is within about 7 minutes’ walk of one, so you are never far from somewhere to sit down.
Lettered circles: rescue anchors (green works in any conditions, amber only on hot days). Dashed outline: the cluster. Red dots: spots more than 7 min from any anchor. Drag to move; click the map, then scroll to zoom.
