A brief update to my post yesterday on Jordan’s visa changes.
The Minister of Tourism, Nayef Al Fayez, tweeted me shortly after I posted to say the changes will come into effect between this month (May) and September 2015:
Thank you @matthewteller some will come into effect this month and all
by September.
And there will be savings that are clear to all.— Nayef H Al-fayez (@nalfayez) May 5, 2015
Then this morning, Michael Nazzal, senator and director of the Jordan Hotels Association, tweeted me to confirm that the unified site ticket mentioned in the press release would cover admission to “museums and other sites”, and would cost 70JD, rather than my guess of 90JD.
@matthewteller Good article. Just for clarification, the unified ticket also includes museums & other sites and to be sold for 70 JD not 90

That’s as much as I know. As soon as more details come out, I will post here.
