Jordan Local Customs: 63 reviews and 56 photos

remember you are in a Muslim...

remember you are in a Muslim country and respect the 'dress code', especially in rural areas. Shorts or Bermudas are not appropriate for men and women. a tight or topless shirt should be avoided as well. As you probably know, you should never touch somebody or food with the left hand. don´t shake hands with Bedu women as long as they don´t offer you their hand as a greeting. It´s regarded as rude to point the soles of your feet towards other people in most Bedu tribes.
