Drone / airspace
Tightly controlled by CARC, which requires advance written approval for everyone including tourists; personal drones are routinely confiscated at the airport
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes, with no general ban, but consent is the expected norm, especially for women, children, and Bedouin residents
Recording private spaces without consent is prohibited under the Cybercrime Law.
Freedom of panorama
Restricted (no freedom of panorama)
Copyright Law No. 22 of 1992 has no panorama exception, so selling images of copyrighted modern buildings or public art can need permission. Ancient monuments (Petra, Jerash) are public domain by age.
Practical notes
- Your Petra ticket does not cover professional or commercial photography or drones; those need advance site and CARC approval.
- Do not photograph military, checkpoints, government, airside, or border zones; confiscation or arrest can follow.
