The essentials of Jordan

Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).

In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.

It is your responsibility to ensure you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (for example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return) , visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to consider any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.

ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.

• Earplugs or Hears, your choice.
  
• A notepad and pen, a good book, a deck of cards...
  
• A laundry bag so you can separate your dirty clothes from your clean clothes in your travel bag.
  
• Cotton sleeping bag liner for camping in Wadi Rum
  
• Toiletry bag and towel
  
• Small personal pharmacy
  
• Sunscreen cream and stick (face and lips)
  
• Headlamp with spare batteries
  
• External battery for your electronic devices
  
• A lightweight, insulated water bottle with a minimum capacity of 1.5 liters.
  
• A multi-purpose pocket knife is preferable (note: this must be packed in your checked luggage on the plane).
  
• Toilet paper + lighter for destruction
  
• Bring your mask and snorkel if you want to enjoy the corals in the Red Sea (swimming goggles and fins provided)
  

Clothing, from head to toe:

1. Walking shoes: for Wadi Rum and to make the most of Petra
2. Lightweight shoes (like sneakers) and/or sandals are recommended for walking through towns or in the evenings at camp. Sandals, which allow for good ventilation, are ideal for evenings when the temperature permits.
3. Socks: light for the day and warm (wool or looped) for the evening.
4. Canvas trousers and/or shorts
5. Swimsuit
6. Cotton shirts or T-shirts
7. Warm sweater or fleece: the latter has the advantage of being durable, warm, lightweight, and quick-drying, with the added benefit of being soft to the touch. The best-known fibers are Polartec, Carline, and Ulfrotté.
8. Windbreaker
9. Rain cape
10. A hat or cap with neck protection, and/or a shemagh: the first two offer the advantage of also protecting your face from the sun, which the shemagh (long veil scarf) does not do: however, it is very useful for protecting yourself from the cold, the heat, the sand and the wind.
11. Category 3 sunglasses.

For the coldest evenings in the heart of winter (late November, December, January and February), you will also need:

1. Warm jacket: down or Gore-Tex jacket. The most effective jackets against wind and rain are made of Gore-Tex or Micropore, "breathable" materials that allow for rapid wicking of perspiration while maintaining perfect insulation.
2. Cap
3. Gloves
