We track one city in Jordan. Its mid-range shoulder-season day comes to $154, which is 45% below the median across all 68 cities in the index.
Amman is the anchor — ancient citadels above a city of pale stone and ceramic mosaics. Accommodation is 51% of the mid-range day there, so where you sleep decides most of the budget.
Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Jordan the peak-to-low swing runs 97%–97%, widest in Amman (97%, desert winter peak pattern: low Jun–Aug at ×0.68, peak Jan–Mar, Nov–Dec at ×1.34). Summer heat empties the city and rates crater; the winter months carry both leisure arrivals and event calendars, so the swing is one of the widest we track.
