Public Holidays & Eid in Jordan

Jordanian public holidays, Eid festivals and how holidays affect opening times and travel.

Jordan observes both civil and religious holidays, including Independence Day in May and the two Eids that mark the end of Ramadan and the Hajj. Islamic dates shift each year on the lunar calendar, so check before booking.

During Eid many shops close and travel surges, while Ramadan brings livelier nights and adjusted restaurant hours. Some visitors love Ramadan's festive evenings. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan confirm schedules around holidays, and full package tours to Jordan adapt tips for seasonal changes.
