What is the situation in Jordan at the moment?
The situation remains stable inside the country as it is not involved in the conflict taking place in other parts of the region. The UK FCDO no longer advises against all but essential travel to Jordan. The areas we visit on all trips remain peaceful and unaffected.
The FCDO advises 'against all travel within 3km of the border with Syria', however they did this before the Middle East conflict started in March 2026, and our trips do not go anywhere near the Syrian border.
Since 20th July 2026, the FCDO has advised 'against all but essential travel to Aqaba international airport and seaport'. There is no advisory against travel to wider Aqaba area (where some of our trips visit) and our local host confirms the situation in the town is peaceful and unaffected.
Are trips in Jordan still running normally?
Considering the FCDO advice and the information provided by our local host, it is our intention to run all trips from September 2026 as planned. If anything changes, we will post further updates on this page. Our customer service team are also always here to help: you can contact them on hello@muchbetteradventures.com.
What happens if my trip does get cancelled at short notice?
You will get a full refund, or have the option to change dates or take credit to travel on a different adventure. Regardless of which option you choose we will provide you with a document to support you making a claim for flights with your travel insurance: so do ensure you have taken out cancellation cover straight away.
What happens if the UK FCDO travel advice changes when my trip is in progress?
We receive real-time safety updates and travel advice for Jordan from the UK FCDO. In addition, our local host is based in Amman and provides us with regular updates. Your safety is our priority so in the event that the UK travel advice changes whilst your trip is in progress, then measures will be taken to comply with the advice. Your local host and their team are able to support travellers on the ground and have contingency plans for their trips. We also work with an expert security and incident management partner who is available 24/7 to offer additional support, if required.
