Understanding the Jordan Pass price is key to deciding whether it’s the right choice for your trip. In 2026, the pass comes in three tiers, and the savings compared to buying a visa and attraction tickets separately can be substantial. This page breaks down all costs in detail.
Jordan Pass Prices 2026
There are three Jordan Pass packages, each differentiated by how many days at Petra are included:
| Package | Petra Days | Price (USD) | Price (JOD approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wanderer | 1 day | ~$70 | ~JOD 50 |
| Explorer | 2 days | ~$80 | ~JOD 57 |
| Insider | 3 days | ~$99 | ~JOD 70 |
Prices are approximate and may vary slightly based on exchange rates. Always verify current pricing at jordanpass.jo before purchase.
What the Price Includes
Regardless of which package you choose, every Jordan Pass fee covers:
- Jordanian entry visa fee waiver – saving JOD 40 (~$56 USD)
- Petra Archaeological Park – for the specified number of days
- 40+ additional attractions across Jordan (the same for all packages)
Cost Comparison: Jordan Pass vs. Paying Separately
Here’s why the Jordan Pass makes financial sense for most visitors:
| Expense | Without Jordan Pass | With Jordan Pass (Wanderer) |
|---|---|---|
| Jordanian visa on arrival | ~$56 | Included (waived) |
| Petra – 1 day | ~$74 | Included |
| Jerash entry | ~$10 | Included |
| Ajloun Castle | ~$4 | Included |
| Kerak Castle | ~$4 | Included |
| Total | ~$148 | ~$70 |
Even with just Petra + visa, the Wanderer pass saves you ~$60. Add a couple more sites and the savings grow quickly. For the full value analysis, see our Jordan Pass vs visa on arrival comparison.
Is the Jordan Pass Worth the Fee?
The short answer: yes, for almost every visitor staying 3+ nights. The longer answer:
- If you visit Petra + get the visa waiver: you’re already saving money on the Wanderer pass
- If you add Wadi Rum, Jerash, or any other sites: additional savings compound
- If you stay fewer than 3 nights: you still save on attraction entries, but lose the visa waiver benefit
The Jordan Pass is less cost-effective only for travelers who skip Petra entirely – which is an unusual choice when visiting Jordan.
Which Package Should You Buy?
- Wanderer (~$70) – Best for travelers with limited time. One full day in Petra is enough to see the main highlights (Treasury, Street of Facades, theatre, Royal Tombs). Start early, move fast.
- Explorer (~$80) – Ideal for most tourists. Two days lets you see the main circuit on Day 1 and tackle the Monastery hike and more remote areas on Day 2. The extra ~$10 is excellent value.
- Insider (~$99) – For Petra enthusiasts, photographers, and archaeology lovers who want to explore every trail and corner. Also good for those who plan to do the 2-night Petra-by-Night experiences.
