eSIM Travel Tips for Jordan
Petra and the Siq navigation
The ancient Nabataean city of Petra is accessed through the Siq gorge. Zain and Orange have coverage near the Petra visitor centre and along parts of the main tourist route inside Petra. Remote trails to the Monastery (Ad Deir) and back country routes can drop out. Download the Petra site map offline before entering.
Wadi Rum desert coverage
Wadi Rum is a vast red desert landscape and one of the world's most spectacular places. The main Wadi Rum visitor centre and village have limited coverage. Desert camp areas and jeep safari routes away from the village are mostly off-grid. Download your camp confirmation, Wadi Rum map, and emergency contacts before entering the desert.
Amman city navigation
Amman is a sprawling city built across seven hills. Navigation by Google Maps is essential. Uber works in Amman and is the safest way to get around as a tourist. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps both running from the moment you land at Queen Alia Airport.
The Kings Highway
Driving the Kings Highway from Amman to Petra through Madaba, Karak, and the Wadi Mujib canyon is a spectacular journey. Main road sections have reasonable coverage. Remote canyon viewpoints and detours off the highway can drop out.

Best time to visit Jordan from Australia
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit Jordan. Temperatures in Petra are comfortable for the considerable walking involved, and the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum are at their best in the golden light of these seasons. Summer (June to August) is extremely hot, with Wadi Rum reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Winter (December to February) is cool in Amman and Petra, and can be cold enough for snow on the highland plateau.
