Clothing

Clothing is one of the worth mentioning things among Jordanian Culture, Customs and Etiquette. The interaction between locals and western tourists is one area where miscommunication between the two parties is most likely to occur. Male and female tourists alike frequently disobey basic dress norms, unaware of how much this deepens the cultural gap and denigrates them in the eyes of locals.

Unremarkable clothing from home may be perceived as embarrassing, rude, or unpleasant in Jordan.The importance of personal grooming and fashion is significantly higher in Jordan and Palestine than it is in the West; for the majority, "dressing down" purposefully in tattered or dirty clothes is unimaginable. Additionally, many people wear long sleeves and high necklines for both sexes to expose the least amount of skin possible out of modesty.
