Is Jordan Pass Refundable?
The short answer: normally no. But if your flight was cancelled, there is an exception. Here is everything you need to know.
With ongoing tensions in the Middle East affecting flight routes to Amman, thousands of travellers have found themselves in a frustrating situation: a trip to Jordan cancelled at the last minute and a Jordan Pass already purchased sitting unused. So, is the Jordan Pass refundable?
The official Jordan Pass cancellation policy is clear, but there is an important exception introduced specifically for flight cancellations. This guide covers everything: how the Jordan Pass works, what the standard refund policy says, and exactly how to request a Jordan Pass refund if your flight was cancelled by the airline.
What Is the Jordan Pass?
The Jordan Pass is an official tourist pass issued by Jordan's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. It bundles two key benefits into a single purchase:
- Jordan visa fee waiver — the tourist entry visa (normally 40 JOD) is included in the pass provided you stay in Jordan for at least 3 nights.
- Free entry to 40+ attractions — including Petra, Wadi Rum Protected Area, Jerash, the Dead Sea and many more.
Is the Jordan Pass Normally Refundable?
However, an unused pass remains valid for 3 months from purchase. If you postpone your trip (not cancel it entirely), you may be able to use the same pass on your rescheduled visit, provided it falls within that 3-month validity window.
| Situation | Refund possible? |
|---|---|
| Changed your mind or rescheduled voluntarily | No |
| Pass unused within 3-month validity | Not refundable — but still usable |
| Flight cancelled entirely by the airline | Can request — reviewed case by case |
| Pass partially used | No |
Flight Cancelled? You Can Request a Refund
If your flight to Jordan was entirely cancelled by the airline, not just rescheduled and not cancelled by you, the Jordan Pass team has introduced an official refund request process. This exception was put in place specifically for passengers affected by flight cancellations beyond their control.
- Your airline cancelled your flight entirely (not a voluntary cancellation on your part)
- You have not used the Jordan Pass yet
- You have written proof of the cancellation from the airline
Refund requests are reviewed by Jordan Pass management on a case-by-case basis. Approval is not automatic, but the option exists and is officially supported.

Can I get a refund if I cancelled my own flight?
No. The refund exception applies only when the airline cancels your flight entirely. Voluntary cancellations or changes are not covered.
How long is the Jordan Pass valid after purchase?
The pass is valid for 3 months from the date of purchase. Once you first use it at an attraction, a 14-day validity window begins from that day.
What if my pass expires before I can travel?
If the pass expires unused and your trip was cancelled due to an airline cancellation, you can still submit a refund request via the official form.
Is the Wadi Rum entry included in the Jordan Pass?
Yes. The Wadi Rum Protected Area entry fee (7 JOD) is covered by the Jordan Pass. You will need to present your pass at the visitor centre gate.
Where can I contact Jordan Pass directly?
You can reach the Jordan Pass team at info@jordanpass.jo or visit the official website at jordanpass.jo.
What to Do Now If Your Jordan Trip Was Cancelled
The Jordan Pass is normally non-refundable. But if your airline cancelled your flight entirely, you have a legitimate path to get your money back. Submit your refund request through the official Jordan Pass refund page, attach your airline cancellation email with your name and flight dates clearly visible, and wait for management to review your case.
If you are postponing rather than cancelling your Jordan trip, first check whether your pass is still within the 3-month validity window from purchase. You may be able to use the same Jordan Pass on your new travel dates without needing a refund at all.
We hope your trip to Jordan happens soon. Wadi Rum will be waiting. 🏜️
