Quick answer: an eSIM is the easiest way to have data from the moment you land at Queen Alia, whether the trip is Amman and Petra in a week or a longer route through Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea and Aqaba. As of 2 November 2026, Roamaly's Jordan plans run from $2 to $133: 5 day passes from $2 a day, 9 fixed bundles from $2, and no unlimited plan.

Do I need an eSIM for Jordan?

For most visitors, yes.

  • A local SIM means a counter and ID on arrival, at the end of a long flight.
  • Getting between the sites runs on data. Maps, ride-hailing apps and messages to drivers and guides all live on your phone.
  • Your own carrier's roaming is charged by the day. Find your daily rate in your carrier's app and multiply it by your trip length; that is the number to compare against.

How much does a Jordan eSIM cost?

Read from our catalogue on 2 November 2026, in US dollars:

FromExamples
Day passes (5)$2 a day500 MB $2, 1 GB $4, 2 GB $6, 3 GB $12, 10 GB $23 a day
Fixed bundles (9)$2500 MB for 7 days $2, 1 GB for 7 days $4, 3 GB for 15 days $10, 5 GB for 30 days $16, 10 GB for 30 days $31, 20 GB for 30 days $62
Unlimited—none

The top of the range is not a Jordan plan. Two bundles are Global plans — 1 GB over 365 days for $14, and 20 GB over 90 days for $133. The dearest Jordan plan is 20 GB for 30 days at $62.

A week or a month? A 7-day bundle starts at $2 and a 30-day bundle at $11, so a week at Petra and Wadi Rum does not have to pay for a month.

Roamaly does not sell an unlimited Jordan plan. If unmetered data is a requirement, buy it from a provider that sells it.

How to set up your Jordan eSIM

  1. Check your phone takes an eSIM, and is unlocked — before you travel. Check if your phone is compatible
  2. Choose a Jordan plan, and buy before you fly; it stays dormant until it first connects.
  3. Install it at home, on Wi-Fi, from the QR code in your email.
  4. Switch it on when you land at Queen Alia, and enable data roaming for that line.
  5. Keep your own SIM in the phone so calls and texts to your number still arrive.

Coverage in Jordan

Our Jordan plans connect through local networks. We do not publish a coverage map. The pattern visitors report:

  • The cities — Amman, Aqaba, Irbid, Madaba — are well served.
  • The main tourist sites and the roads between them are generally covered.
  • Wadi Rum has signal in the main village and some camps, and gaps out in the desert. Download maps before a desert day.

Tips for staying connected in Jordan

  • Download offline maps before a Wadi Rum tour or a long drive south.
  • Keep your Jordan Pass and tickets on your phone and offline, so a weak signal at a site does not matter.
  • Use ride-hailing apps in Amman.
  • Keep a translation app to hand, with Arabic downloaded for offline use.
  • Petra is a full day on foot, so carry a power bank.

Why buy your Jordan eSIM from Roamaly

  • Both plan shapes, from a 7-day bundle to a month.
  • No registration and no shop — connected from arrival.
  • A price you know before you go, read from the catalogue and dated.
