Why Jordan is different
"The Petra siq (the narrow canyon approach) blocks direct signal for 1.2 km between the entrance and the Treasury. First-time visitors routinely panic when they lose signal here — it returns at the Treasury plaza."
Jordan is small enough that most visitors see 80% of the country in a week. The King's Highway drive from Amman through Madaba, Karak, and Petra to Aqaba is the quintessential Middle East road trip.
Zain Jordan and Orange Jordan both have decent national coverage. The Wadi Rum desert interior is the main dead zone — Bedouin camps beyond the visitor center have no signal on any carrier.
Coverage you can actually measure.
We run Jordan on 2 carriers so your profile falls back automatically if one signal drops. Coverage figures are measured against our own uptime data, not carrier marketing claims.

Troubleshooting
- Petra siq has a 1.2 km dead zone that affects every carrier.
- Wadi Rum interior beyond the visitor center is offline. Bring a SPOT device if you need emergency contact.
- Dead Sea Road coverage is good but resorts in deep hotel courtyards may need Wi-Fi.

Questions people actually ask.
- Yes on the access road, at the Treasury, and up at the Monastery. The 1.2 km siq between the entrance and the Treasury is a narrow canyon with no signal — this affects every Jordanian carrier.
