Flight Information
What You Need to Know to Book Your Flight
- The team will travel to several Syrian refugee camps daily to hold clinic.
- The Entheos team usually arrives a day early. If you decide to arrive a day early, you will be responsible for an extra night in the hotel.
Tips / Additional Info
- Give yourself plenty of time at the airport to check in. The FAA recommends that you arrive 2 hours prior to international flights. Don’t forget to pack any scissors, pocketknives, or liquids over 3 oz. in your checked baggage. For any liquids less than 3 ounces that you will be carrying on, please make sure you put them in 1 quart size Ziploc bag. Whatever liquid items that do not fit in 1 quart size Ziploc bag will be thrown away. Please visit the TSA website for the most up-to-date restrictions prior to packing:
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm. - Make sure you have a name-tag with a current name, address, and phone number attached to each luggage item.
- If you use luggage locks (highly suggested on ALL bags to avoid tampering), make sure all locks are TSA approved (it will say on the lock and/or package).
- Please check at the web site of the Airlines that you are flying the Policy on Checked Luggage
- For luggage that weighs over 50 pounds due to personal items, the overage fee is the responsibility of each delegate.
- Entheos may ask to use some of “your space” to transport supplies and we thank you in advance for your willingness to help transport needed project supplies to Ecuador.
- Your carry-on bag should contain all your essentials in case your check-on baggage is lost in transit. Include at least one change of clothes and all necessary medicines and toiletries.
VISAS
Each traveler will pay for their own Visa in Jordan. The Visa’s can be purchased at the airport when you land ($60 US – please be sure to bring cash. They do have credit card machines but they do not always connect). If you plan a prior trip to Israel before Jordan, make sure you have the Israeli Passport and Immigration give you your visa on a separate piece of paper. Israeli visas on passports can cause more difficulty getting in and out of Jordan.
Disclaimer: Submitting an application for a humanitarian trip does not guarantee a spot on the trip. A completed application enters your name into the selection process. You will be notified if you are selected.
Entheos Audiology Cooperative is not a registered 501(c)(3) exempt organization, therefore the trip fee is not deductible as a donation or a charitable contribution.
Please consult your tax advisor if you are deducting any portion of the trip as a business expense. There are limitations as to the deductibility of expenses associated with meals and entertainment.
General Dress Code Rules
- Please wear long pants and the team t-shirts provided by our partners. We have found that breathable type pants by Eddie Bauer or Columbia are a good option for hot clinic days (jeans are fine). You will receive TWO clinic t-shirts on the first day of the trip. You may be able to do laundry (for a small fee) at the hotel; we also recommend bringing a mini bottle of detergent (can be purchased at the travel section) to do laundry in your room.
- Bring comfortable shoes to wear. No open toe shoes for clinics.
- No shorts in the clinic.
Before/After Clinic
- There will be time for recreation (going out, dinner, etc.) after clinic days.
- Bring a fleece jacket for the mornings and evenings when it could get cool. Days will be fairly warm.
- On our day off, it is fine to dress like an American tourist. Please keep jewelry to a minimum.

Electricity in Jordan
- Type C: also known as the standard “Euro” plug. This socket also works with plug E and plug F. This is the type we have seen the most in Jordan.
- Type D: mainly used in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and some African countries. This socket only works with plug D.
- Type F: also known as “Schuko”. This socket also works with plug C and plug E.
- Type G: this type is of British origin. This socket only works with plug G.
- Type J: mainly used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. This socket also works with plug C. But plug N will NOT work.
We recommend purchasing the BESTEK International Power Adapter from Amazon.
Most sockets in Jordan are Type C

Hotel Information
Money / Currency / Expenses
- Most expenses will be prepaid for you including ground transportation, medical evacuation insurance, hotel room accommodations, translators and team meals.
- Each volunteer is financially responsible for paying for and obtaining a passport and visa receiving any necessary immunizations, all food/beverage items in all airports and outside team meals, and any other personal expenditures/shopping during the trip.
- Bring U.S. currency that is as new as possible and undamaged. Traveler’s checks and credit cards (VISA or Master Card) will be good in airports, major hotels, and many shops, but cash is the easiest and most convenient method of payment.
- You will be able to exchange money in Amman, Jordan at the airport and city.
- To find the most up-to-date currency conversions, please go to http://www.xe.com/ucc/. The currency in Jordan is called the Jordanian Dinar.
Safety / Security
Here are some helpful guidelines concerning the safety and security of your personal items:
- Be mindful of how you carry your purse or where you place your wallet. Men, keep your wallets in a front or zippered pocket, as keeping it in your back pocket will make it susceptible to pickpockets. Ladies, keep purses across your chest or use a fanny pack (keeping your hands free is also wise).
- An under garment money belt worn around your waist is a safe way to carry your personal cash or passport.
- Stay with a group of people at all times – always go somewhere in pairs.
- Take a minimal amount of jewelry with you – nothing flashy.
- Be a confident traveler even if you are unsure or uneasy in a certain situation; confidence and calmness is key.
- We also suggest that you make copies of all flight itineraries, wallet contents, passport, visa, etc. and carry copies in a separate, secure location. It would also be a good idea to leave copies of everything with someone at home also, just in case. These copies could prove invaluable should your personal documents be lost or stolen.
Food
We hope you will enjoy the local cuisine. Most meals will be eaten at a hotel or local restaurant. All foods that will be provided to you should be well prepared and safe for you to eat.
Meals are supplied on clinic days, but not on travel or recreation days.
- As far as drinking water is concerned, to be on the safe side, always drink bottled water and brush your teeth with bottled water at the hotel. Avoid ice. Bottled water will be available.
- You may want to take some personal snack items with you – good items to take include granola bars, dried fruit, and trail mix.
Time Zone / Weather
Vaccines
One of the first things you have to be aware of on any international trip is the necessary vaccines. Some of the vaccines are hard to get in a quick time frame. Please make sure you read and check the CDC website for information on vaccines immediately.
As we travel internationally, we may be exposed to certain diseases that are rare in the United States. Fortunately, the risk of catching these diseases is still quite low since we will be on site for only a short time and will be eating properly prepared food, etc. However, since it is impossible to eliminate all risk, there are a variety of vaccines and immunizations that provide prevention against many of the most serious infectious diseases in the world that we ask each delegation member consider receiving.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website www.cdc.gov, there are no required vaccines for Jordan, but make sure your routine vaccinations are up-to-date. Please refer to the following CDC website for information.
