Visitors of most nationalities can purchase a single-entry visa upon arrival in the kingdom at land, sea and air entry points for JD40 ($56). Tourist visas are valid for 30 days and can be extended for up to one month by registering at a local police station. The local currency is the Jordanian dinar. Credit cards can be used in the major cities, but it is recommended to travel with cash, as taxicabs and local vendors may only accept cash and often only small bills. ATM machines are widely available in major urban areas. The Jordanian work week runs from Sunday to Thursday, with most businesses operating between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Government offices typically have opening hours from 8am until 2pm. Many businesses and shops are closed on Fridays. Arabic is the country’s official language, though English is widely used. Street signs and buildings are often labelled in both Arabic and English, making navigation easier for Westerners. However, knowing some basic Arabic words and phrases is very useful.
