Jordan has launched a virtual support system to assist international visitors who may face travel disruption because of the conflict in the Middle East.
The digital platform, called the Tourist Help Centre, aims to improve communication between tourists and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and its industry partners, such as Royal Jordanian, the Jordan Society of Tourism and travel agents.
Visitors can use the contact form on the platform to contact the Ministry directly for help with rescheduling flights, securing alternative accommodation, modifying itineraries and reporting any issues.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities contact form can be accessed here.
Jordan’s tourism attractions, including the archaeological site Petra, remain open as usual. The Ministry said arrivals from the UK to Jordan were up 20% at the start of 2025 compared to the same period last year.
Brits can currently travel to most of Jordan, although the UK Foreign Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to within 3km of the border with Syria.
An FCDO update on 24 June highlighted risks in the region, saying: “Hostilities in the region and between Israel and Iran have the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning.
“On 22 June the US launched military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and on 23 June Iran launched military strikes against a US military base in Qatar. Iran aligned militia groups are also likely to continue to conduct attacks.
“The current situation has disrupted air links and may disrupt road links and border crossings. Demonstrations and protest activity may take place.”
