Jordanian Do’s and Don’ts.
I’m going to write a
list of Jordan faux pas and encouragable actions to make your stay that much
sweeter.
DO:
Say Salaam Alaykum,
Marhaba, Ahlan (all meaning hello) to fellow Jordanians. We appreciate the
effort and probably reply in English to show the same appreciation!
DON’T:
Say derogatory things
in English, most Jordanians speak English as a second language, some even as a first
language!
DO:
Make yourself at home
when invited to somebodies house. We love seeing you comfortable, it makes us
feel like great hosts!
DON’T:
Put your feet up
facing somebodies face. The soles of your feet can be seen as a great insult
and will usually leave people feeling upset
DO:
Eat a lot when invited
to a homecooked meal! Imagine Jordan as your grandmother that loves to feed
you! Don’t feel shy when asking for more!
DON’T:
Even if you’re full
and can’t eat but you’re invited out to dinner, don’t refuse to eat and offer
to wait till they’re finished to talk and hangout. You sit yourself on that
table, have a few bites and smile. The host will take great offence and take it
personally.
These little tips will
surely help you with your stay and make it just a tad bit more special!
