"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," commented one expat who made the move to Jordan.
