Jordan Pass from Algeria: useful for Petra, but no visa waiver
Last verified: June 2026 (jordanpass.jo source)
Does the Jordan Pass waive the visa for Algerians?
No. The Jordan Pass (a bundle including entry to Petra + ~40 sites) does NOT waive the visa for Arab nationals, including Algerians (official jordanpass.jo FAQ). It is still useful to save on site entries, but you pay the visa (40 JOD) separately — online or on arrival. For non-Arabs, the Pass includes the visa if they stay enough nights; that does not apply to Algerians.
