On cost, Jordan is one of the more affordable places to visit: everyday prices sit at about 43 on a global index where the United States is 100. See how Jordan compares to 179 countries.
On power, you are in luck: both US outlets and Jordan's use Type B, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (230/400 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 277/480 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Jordan.
