Frequently asked questions
What time zone is Jordan in?
Jordan uses UTC+3, often called Arabia Standard Time, throughout the year. The whole country, from Umm Qais in the north to Aqaba on the Red Sea, shares the same time.
Does Jordan change its clocks for summer time?
No. Jordan stopped switching between winter and summer time and now stays on UTC+3 all year, so the time difference with countries that use daylight saving changes during the year.
What are the weekend days in Jordan?
The official weekend is Friday and Saturday. Government offices and many businesses close on Friday, while shops, restaurants and tourist sites generally stay open, sometimes with shorter hours around Friday prayers.
When does the sun set in Jordan?
Because Jordan stays on UTC+3 all year, sunset ranges from about 5:30 pm in December to about 7:45 pm in late June, and sunrise from about 5:30 am in summer to about 7:30 am in January.
What is the best time of day to visit Petra?
Early morning is best: the light in the Siq is beautiful, the air is cool and there are fewer visitors. Late afternoon is also lovely, when the rock turns warm shades of rose and gold.
