What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Jordan. They wrote...
"Expats in Jordan often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to, which can be challenging. For example, the traditional values and customs of the country can be difficult to adjust to, as can the language barrier. Additionally, the conservative dress code and social norms can be difficult to navigate for those who are not used to them. Furthermore, the lack of public transportation and the limited availability of certain goods and services can be a challenge for expats," explained one expat living in Jordan.
