Dont think is a good idea to travel to Jordan during Ramadan. In fact, all non-Muslims try to get out of the Middle East during Ramadan, mainly because there are consequences of breaking the rules during Ramadan.
I've been four days in Jordan during Ramadan myself, but I was doing a guided tour of the Bedouin through the Wadi Rum desert. The Bedouin tour company told me that Ramadan has no effect on tourists, but I disagree because drinking alcohol isn't allowed during Ramadan, which is what can get you in trouble.

Having said this, Ramadan is a great time to be in Jordan as the evenings are like street parties, and at sunset many many restaurants will be full, and the atmosphere is amazing! |
