How Much Does Aerial Photography Cost in Jordan? 2026 Prices

Aerial photography in Jordan costs from 200 JOD for a half-day real-estate shoot, 600–1,200 JOD for wedding drone coverage, 700–1,500 JOD for a full-day commercial production, and 1,500 JOD+ for surveying and inspection jobs. Final price depends on equipment, crew, location permits and deliverables — this guide unpacks each line.

2026 price ranges — by use case

Use case	Starting price (JOD)	What you get

Commercial / brand video (full day)	700–1,500	Crew, multi-cam, colour grade

What drives the price up or down

Equipment. A Mavic-class drone is cheaper than an Inspire 3 or Matrice with cinema lenses or LiDAR.
Crew size. A solo pilot is cheaper than pilot + camera operator + ground assistant.
Location permits. Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, military zones and royal sites add permit fees.
Edit depth. Raw 4K is cheapest; colour-graded, motion-graphics, voice-over edits cost more.
Footage licensing. Internal use is cheaper than full commercial broadcast rights.
Turnaround. Same-day delivery surcharges; 7-day is standard.
Travel. Outside Amman governorate, a travel fee applies.

What a fair quote always includes

CARC operator approval and pilot licence (in writing).
Third-party liability insurance.
Itemised line items — flight time, crew, edit, travel.
Deliverable format, resolution and licence.
Revision count on edits.
Weather cancellation policy.

Why some quotes look impossibly cheap

Below ~100 JOD per half-day for commercial work means one or more of the following is missing: a CARC licence, real insurance, professional gear, or a written agreement. The legal and financial risk of unlicensed work then transfers to you, the client. The 2025 incidents around unlicensed drones at Amman weddings and hotels are public reminders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest drone photography in Jordan?

A reputable half-day real estate shoot starts at about 200 JOD. Anything below that usually means an unlicensed operator.

Why is wedding drone coverage more expensive than real estate?

Weddings require multiple hours on site, a back-up pilot, ND filters, evening light work, fast turnaround on highlight edits, and venue permits.

Are surveying and inspection priced differently?

Yes — they are quoted per site, per hectare or per MW because they include processing software, ground control, and certified reports — not just footage.

Does the price include the raw footage?

Usually yes for commercial work. Raw delivery is part of the package; ownership and licensing are on the written agreement.
