11 October 2023 News

In connection with the latest escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of October 2023, mass protests in support of the Palestinian national cause are observed in Jordan.

The embassy warns to avoid visiting areas where demonstrations are taking place and there is a large gathering of people. Currently, they are organised mainly in the capital Amman, the cities of Zarqa, Irbid and Rouseyfa, as well as in towns in the northwestern part of the country. Tourist visits to the regions bordering Israel and the West Bank as well as the cities listed above should be avoided. In the capital, the following areas should be avoided: the Old City (the so-called Downtown) and the mosques "Al-Husseini" in the Old City and "Al-Kaluti" in Al-Rabiah district.

The security forces are taking the necessary measures for the peaceful organisation of the demonstrations, but increased vigilance should be exercised by the tourists.
