This is what our six-day trip to Jordan actually cost — not a rough estimate, not a copy-pasted “average,” but the real numbers we paid per person. Prices are in USD, converted from what we spent in 2026, and rounded to the nearest dollar. Your trip will look different depending on the season, how you travel, and how much you eat at hotel restaurants — but this should give you a realistic anchor.
Approximate total per person for a 6-day Jordan trip from Cyprus: ~$810. That covers flights, all accommodation, the Jordan Pass, a Wadi Rum jeep tour, food, transfers, and small extras. Full breakdown below.

What We’d Budget Extra For
If we did this trip again, we’d add roughly $80–120 per person on top — a second night in Wadi Rum (one is not enough), one more sit-down meal somewhere memorable, and a longer Petra day. Skipping a single tour to save $30 isn’t worth missing the experience.
