Jordan is more relaxed than many of its neighbours, but modest dress — shoulders and knees covered — is welcomed in towns, markets and especially at mosques and religious sites. At resorts and the Dead Sea, swimwear is completely normal.
Greetings are warm and often includes tea. Remove shoes at mosques and family homes, use the right hand for handshakes, and accept hospitality graciously. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pick up local manners quickly, and full package tours to Jordan brief visitors on etiquette.
