Attitudes towards clothing in Jordan are more liberal than other Muslim countries. There is no formal dress code and Jordanian people tend to be very understanding of foreigners and their different way of dressing. In Amman you will find most people are dressed in a western style. Even so, it is always best to be respectful of the local culture. In smaller towns and rural areas female travellers may want to wear knee length dresses or loose trousers and cover their shoulders and upper arms.
