eSIM in Jordan: Staying Connected in Amman
Jordan is a great place for travelers who can easily move between ancient and modern and Amman is a great place to start your trip.
JordanWhy an eSIM Is the Smartest Way to Get Online in Jordan
We reward the traveler who easily moves between Jordan’s ancient heritage and its modern cities, and Amman is the hub of most travel itineraries. When arriving in Amman at Queen Alia International Airport after a long-haul flight, instead of searching for a SIM card vendor upon arrival, with an eSIM you will already be connected when you land.
The advantages are straightforward:
- Activate your eSIM before your flight — Get your travel plan ready at home before your long flight to Queen Alia Airport, and land with eSIM already activated & ready to use.
- Skip the airport queue to buy a local SIM — instead of waiting around for a kiosk to open or to change money at a bureau to buy a local SIM card, eSIMs can be set up online before you depart.
- Keep your home number reachable — stay available on your primary line while your eSIM handles data for you.
- Easy to manage for regional trips — Your eSIM plan can easily be managed for travel to all areas such as Petra or the Dead Sea while based in Amman.
For a country that is so steeped in history, and has a modern city like Amman to get around, it’s really helpful to have data enabled on your phone as soon as you arrive in the country. Maps and ride apps are constantly being used by visitors to get around the capital, and for day trips to places like Petra and the Dead Sea, it’s really useful to have data enabled as soon as you land.
Amman: Coverage Across Jordan's Capital
Amman, with its ups and downs, has a well-developed telecom infrastructure. Around Amman you can enjoy reliable 4G as well as 5G connections.
- Downtown Amman & The Roman Theatre - With the narrow streets and markets of the old town and Roman Theater this area is best to be explored with a good navigation App.
- Rainbow Street and Jabal Amman: The cafes, galleries and streetlife are particularly popular in the evenings when the streets are walked by locals and visitors alike.
- West Amman: Areas such as Abdoun and Sweifieh have a huge concentration of hotels and business related infrastructure.
However, Amman is a hilly town and so a stable connection is also very important to enable you to get around from one area to another, which can look quite different from one hill to the other. For an overview of connectivity across the country, have a look at our Jordan destination page.
Practical Tips for Using Your eSIM in Amman
Some habits of use will help you to make the best of your eSIM in Amman and around Jordan.
- Download offline maps for your trips to Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea as signals can be weak outside of Amman.
- Track your data usage: By using your providers app you will know exactly how much data you are using. Especially if you are using a lot of apps for translations and for your navigation.
- Use Wi-Fi at hotels and in cafes to reload your data packages as needed – great for downloading maps and apps while having a coffee etc.
- Keep your eSIM active for your return flight from all your tours around Jordan if you’re flying back from Amman.
You can leave your eSIM to work in the background and focus on what Amman can offer: the perfect mix of Roman and modern, bustling souks and modern bars and restaurants and the life in the hills of the capital.
