Practical information

Visa
Travelers must carry a passport valid for at least 6 months from date of departure from Jordan. A visa is required for entering Jordan. Normally a visa can be obtained upon arrival in Jordan, but citizens of certain countries need to apply for a visa prior to departure. For the most recent updated rules and regulations as well as a list of countries needing to apply in advance, please see the website of Jordan Tourism Board.

We recommend that you contact the Jordanian embassy or consulate in your home country for more information about visa to Jordan. It is solely the client's responsibility to ensure they are in possession of the necessary documentation, and in compliance with the laws and regulations of the country visited.

Accommodation
All participants can chose between 5 star or 4 star hotels during the Petra Marathon itineraries.
The 5 star hotels offers splendid service and high standards, hotel pool and a great variety of food in the restaurant.
The 4 star hotels are more simple in all aspects, but keeps a high level of cleanliness.

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is not included in the price. It is, however, strongly recommendable for all participants to have sufficient insurance during their stay in Jordan.

Weather
The weather in Jordan in September is hot and dry with temperatures reaching a high of 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit). There is low humidity in Jordan in September.

Clothing and shoes
It is not a problem to run Petra Marathon in singlet and shorts – men and women alike. Due to the hot weather light and bright colored clothing is recommended. Be aware that the morning may be chilly prior to the start, so a top layer that can be removed shortly before the start is a good idea. The race course is approximately 50% asphalt and 50% gravel and sand. The race can be run in a pair of normal running shoes, but trail shoes can be used as well if you feel more comfortable with those. There is very little shade on the route, so sunglasses or a running cap is recommended as well and sun block is a good idea.

Organization
The Petra Marathon is organized by Albatros Travel’s Adventure Marathon branch.
