Electricity and sockets
Usually not: Jordan uses Types C, F and G, and at least one of those systems takes plugs from the UK. The socket in your room decides.
Sockets at the destination
Sockets in Jordan: Types C, F and G, supplied with 230 V at 50 Hz. 230 V means no voltage converter – only the plug shape matters.
Watch out when moving on: Japan, Taiwan and China use a completely different system. In Asia, 1 of 50 recorded destinations use exactly this combination.
Protective earth
Mixed supply: Type C without earth, Types F and G with earth. Which one is in your room only shows on arrival.

Common questions
Mostly no – the socket in your accommodation decides.
The records list Types C, F and G; the grid supplies 230 V at 50 Hz.
No. At 230 V the supply matches UK and European appliances.
If a socket gets hot, crackles or smells burnt, unplug the device straight away.
