Health & Safety

Use only bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth and check the seal of the bottle is intact. Avoid unbolted beverages and ice except in top hotels and restaurants. Milk is unpasteurized and should be boiled. Avoid uncooked vegetables and peeled fruit that may have been washed in tap water.

Public hospitals are open to tourists. The standard of care is good in Amman but is of varying standard in other parts of the country. Health care provision and standards of hygiene is lacking in remote rural areas, particularly in Wadi Rum Area. Health insurance is strongly advised.

If you should require medical attention, please speak with your representative or tour guide for assistance. They will help you to locate a physician or medical centre.
