The cultural traditions here derive mainly from Islamic and Arab cultures. There are many historic cities and buildings, such as the "Roman Theater" and the "Hashemite Palace" in the capital city of Amman, as well as the "Shrine" and the "Royal Catacombs" in the ancient city of Petra.

Jordan's etiquette taboos:

1, business etiquette

To Jordan to engage in business activities, the more appropriate time is from November to April, especially should be avoided in the month of September of the Islamic calendar to go. Don't use pigs, pandas and six-pointed stars as advertisements. Be humble in your contacts with local businessmen; Jordan considers boastful people unreliable. Only after a longer period of contact and earning the trust of the other party will they not refuse their request.

2. Tourism etiquette

The local stores and streets are mostly in Arabic, and those engaged in the tourism industry mostly know English. When traveling during Ramadan, you should be careful not to eat or drink in front of crowds of people during the day, nor should you smoke. If you invite the locals for dinner or tea, you should only do so after sunset. In local cabs, an additional 10 percent tip is paid, and so much for staying in hotels.
