Since 1 January 2010 a differentiation of visitors has been introduced:

tourists spending only one day in Jordan, like cruise ship passengers and daily visitors from neighbouring countries, will be charged different entrance fees than those spending more time in Jordan (overnight visitors).

The discounted entrance fee for Jordanian citizens, residents*, students** and Arab nationals remains 1 JD.

(*foreigners holding Jordanian residence card)

Children under the age of 15 years can visit Petra free of charge.
