Don’t drink water from just anywhere

In summary, Jordan's tap water is safe to drink and is designated as such; but, before you start sipping, there is a bit more to know about Jordan's water. Due to the region's acute water shortage, significant advancements have been made to enhance the quality of the water that is accessible. While the water is safe to drink and may be used for bathing, brushing teeth, and washing fruits and vegetables, it is best to consume bottled water whenever feasible. Although the water is pure and safe, it has a salty flavor and might occasionally have a strange taste.

One issue to consider when visiting Jordan and drinking water from plastic bottles is the environmental impact of plastic. Jordan has no recycling activities or infrastructure, so plastic bottles wind up in the trash. If you want to stay in Jordan for an extended period of time, carry water purification tablets, boil the water before drinking it, or bring a water bottle with a filter. It is advisable to bring water bottles if you are coming for a brief stay. Before consuming, always double-check that the bottle is firmly sealed.
