Mosque Dress and Etiquette

Visiting mosques in Jordan: shoulders and knees covered, headscarf for women, shoes off, and silence.

Inside Jordanian mosques - such as the King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman, which welcomes non-Muslim visitors - women are expected to cover their hair, shoulders and knees, and men should wear a shirt and long trousers. Shoes are removed at the entrance, and silence is the rule.

A scarf is provided at many sites, but bring your own to be safe. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan arrive mosque-ready between stops, and full package tours to Jordan cover etiquette before entering.
