Key facts for Jordan
Christmas is a public holiday, but Ramadan and Eid are the main business gifting occasions.
How companies in Jordan give year-end gifts
In Jordan, Ramadan and Eid are the main corporate gifting occasions, with hampers of dates, sweets and coffee. Christmas is a public holiday, reflecting the country's Christian community, and is visible in Amman, so Christmas greetings are acceptable to Christian and international contacts, while 'Season's Greetings' suits mixed audiences. Alcohol is legal and sold, but it is safer not to include it in corporate gifts unless you know the recipient. Food should be halal for Muslim recipients. English is common in business. Presentation matters, and gifts are given and received with the right hand. Dates, sweets, coffee and tea in elegant packaging are typical. Gifts to government officials should be avoided. Christian partners appreciate Christmas wishes, while Ramadan Kareem and Eid greetings are expected for Muslim partners.
