Dress code. Jordan is a Muslim country, but is liberal in the sense that women are dressed in a western manner and although a lot of women (more and more actually) are wearing a headscarf, there is no need to do so. Avoid short skirts and don’t wear shorts when visiting. Dress “modestly” when going downtown. A pant and a loose shirt (chemise) are your best options. In the resorts and the hotels, there’s no problem to wear a bikini. You’ll sometimes see burkinis but there’s no reason for you to cover). Both bikinis and burkinis (the “halal” swimsuit”) live side by side without a problem.
