What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Jordan?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Jordan if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Jordan. It is considered impolite to show public displays of affection, so it is best to avoid kissing or hugging in public. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. It is also important to be respectful when taking photographs, as some people may not want their picture taken. Additionally, it is important to be aware of local customs and traditions, and to be respectful of them," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Jordan.
