Get the Jordan Pass

Harry recommends buying the Jordan Pass when travelling to Jordan. Petra entry is included and is “one of the main reasons to get the Jordan Pass” — a day ticket otherwise costs around 40–50 (from video – unverified), so the pass largely pays for itself with that single visit.

The visa is inside it, which is the part worth knowing before you fly rather than after: the pass covers entry to the country as well as the sites, so it is bought in advance rather than on arrival.

How Harry applies it

He recommends it within his first ten minutes in the country, standing at a Roman theatre in Amman whose entry it covers, and puts the cost at around £100 — while saying on camera that he isn’t sure of the figure and will correct it on screen (from video – unverified). He and Mac then entered Petra free of extra charge on the same passes, which is where the arithmetic actually lands: a Petra day ticket alone runs 40–50.

So the pass is doing two different jobs across the trip — a visa and a bundle of site entries — and the sites it covers start on day one in the capital, not at Petra.
