Jordan has strict rules for importing, possessing, and operating drones. These rules apply to residents, visitors, photographers, production teams, influencers, and private travelers. Before bringing or using a drone in Jordan, guests must understand that drone activity is controlled by official authorities and normally requires advance written approval.
In most cases, tourists and private individuals are not permitted to fly drones in Jordan without official authorization obtained in advance. Recreational drone use is highly restricted, especially near airports, borders, military areas, archaeological sites, cities, and protected areas.
Drone use may be considered only for applicants with proper clearance, such as licensed media teams, production companies, official tourism projects, government entities, diplomatic missions, or organizations with approval from the relevant Jordanian authorities.
Applications should be submitted directly through the official channels of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) and relevant authorities. Applicants should begin the process well in advance, as approval is not guaranteed.
Travelers arriving with a drone should declare it to customs. In some cases, authorities may require the drone to be sealed or held until departure. Guests should never attempt to hide drone equipment or use it without approval.
Recommendation: If you do not already have official approval, it is safer not to travel with a drone.
Jordan Horizons Tours cannot guarantee, arrange, or submit drone approvals on behalf of guests. Drone permissions must be requested directly by the applicant through the appropriate official authorities. We recommend contacting CARC, the Jordan Tourism Board, or the relevant filming authority before travel if drone use is essential to your trip.
If your visit involves filming, photography, promotional work, or commercial content creation, please start the approval process early. Jordan’s drone rules are strict, and approval may depend on the purpose, location, security clearance, insurance, operator qualifications, and official coordination.
