Tipping is not mandatory, but it is expected. If you were satisfied with the services of your driver or guide, it would be a good way to show your appreciation. Most restaurants add a service charge to your bill, but if not, a tip is also appropriate.
In major cities and most hotels in the country, credit cards are generally accepted. However, you are likely to find that Bedouin camps, smaller stores and restaurants are cash only. It is recommended that you carry cash so that you do not find yourself in the desert, far from an ATM.
No, hijab is not required in Jordan unless you enter a mosque, which you are not likely to be allowed to do unless you are a Muslim. While you will see many women wearing hijab in Jordan, there are also many women who do not. That said, you will notice that for the most part (outside of international bars and restaurants), women dress conservatively, with chest, shoulders and legs covered.
Electricity in Jordan is 220 volts and plugs accept the European two-prong plug. Many of the hotels in Jordan will provide different plugs in their rooms, although it is always advisable to carry at least one world adapter.
