JO — Jordan

Jordan is a Middle Eastern kingdom known for the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea, and the Wadi Rum desert. Amman, the capital, is a modern city blending ancient and contemporary architecture. Jordan has a highly educated population and a growing tech sector. The Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is subdivided into 1,000 fils (three decimal places) and is one of the strongest currencies in the Middle East, pegged to the US dollar. For developers, the JO country code maps to the ar-JO locale for Jordanian Arabic with RTL support. The .jo domain and +962 calling code serve Jordan. Like BHD, IQD, and KWD, the JOD uses three decimal places rather than two, an important currency formatting consideration. Jordan's national ID number has specific validation rules. Jordan's tech sector, centered in Amman, has produced successful startups and gaming companies like Maysalward. The country's role as a stable tech hub in the Middle East makes it important for regional application development.
