Although during a trip (especially in one of this magnitude) it seems that time stops or that it is more relative, there is no doubt that managing it properly is essential to enjoy it better. Therefore, on this page we talk about the schedules and time in Jordan, so you can handle yourself well from the moment you land in the country.
The generalization of mobile phones and watches connected to the Internet have made us more comfortable: we know that they change their time depending on the geographical place in which we are. But despite this (and if you are still a romantic who uses analog watches), it is important to know what the time in Jordan, what is technically called the ‘time zone’.

Shops, on the other hand, usually open at 9.00 and close at 14.00, to reopen another four hours in the afternoon, from 16.00 to 20.00. The souks and markets, on the other hand, usually remain open all day, from 9.00 to 20.00. As far as restaurants are concerned, it is common for them to open their doors at 12.00, when they offer their first lunch shift, but it is difficult for them to remain open beyond 23.00 or 00.00.
In addition, the weekend in Jordan is considered Friday and Saturday, so that public buildings and many establishments close on those days.
However, you should also bear in mind that schedules in Jordan may be modified in a timely manner by Ramadan, remaining closed during the day to favor fasting.
