Dressing for the Jordanian Heat

Hot-weather clothing for Jordan: light breathable fabrics that still cover shoulders and knees.

Jordan's heat, especially in summer at the Dead Sea, Petra and Aqaba, makes light breathable fabrics - cotton, linen, quick-dry - essential. Yet in towns and religious sites you still want shoulders and knees covered; loose T-shirts, long skirts and shawls balance cool and respectful.

A hat, glasses and water complete the kit. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan benefit from air-conditioned travel between sites, and full package tours to Jordan plan midday indoors.
