Internships in Jordan

Located in the heart of the Middle East, surrounded by both the Dead and Red Sea, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is both traditional and cosmopolitan. It is a culture different than the West, with an Islamic state which shapes most ideals and cultural practices. The streets have bazaars, or open air markets, filled with food and crafts and elaborate mosques, free for the exploring and worth experiencing. Those interested in human rights, social development, migration, or international policy will benefit greatly from an internship in Jordan, due to the nation’s current social issues.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Jordan

Locations

The highest number of internships in Jordan are located in the capital city. There is, however, potential for internships in Jordan outside of Amman, in less populated areas, though less likely and more difficult to find.

Amman is the capital of Jordan as well as a central hub of 2.5 million residents. Built on a hill, Amman has a lively downtown area, with craft and food stalls and diverse neighborhoods that climb up to ancient Roman ruins at the top. Most internships in Jordan are based in and around Amman, because it is the location of most consulates and is a central location for most humanitarian agencies and organizations, such as those focused on social rights like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and the Amman Center for Human Rights Studies. The majority of internship placement providers are also based in Amman.

Petra. Arguably the most famous city in the country, an ancient city intricately etched into rock that is believed to be over 2,000 years old. Needless to say, Petra is an excellent place for those who have a background in historic preservation or archeology, in part because Petra has an active archeological site.

Aqabah. As Jordan’s southernmost and only coastal city, situated on the northern tip of the Red Sea, Aqabah is a frequented destination for not only its beaches but also because it shares an accessible land border with Israel. Although Aqabah is largely considered a tourist destination, thanks to its beach resorts and water sports, it also holds opportunity for those interested in marine studies and preservation. The coast of Aqabah encompasses over 1,000 species of fish and fragile natural reefs.

Intern Abroad HQ delivered an amazing internship experience

InternHQ delivered an amazing internship experience, combining real-world professional development with exceptional support throughout. From the beginning onboarding procedure to the conclusion of my placement, everything was handled with care and quickness. The team was communicative and responsive, ensuring that I was matched with a placement that suited my interests and ambitions. Once in New York, I felt supported and ready to tackle both the workplace and the city itself. The placement was important, and I was assigned responsibilities that allowed me to truly contribute and learn—rather than merely observe. A special thank you to Marc, whose guidance and support were invaluable during my internship. His professionalism, support, and response helped me feel grounded and confident throughout the process. InternHQ always made me feel like they were genuinely interested in my experience. Their team was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly committed to each intern's success. I would highly suggest this program to anyone searching for a meaningful and respected internship abroad.
