Dr. Dawoud Dawoud, a bariatric and laparoscopic surgery specialist in Jabal Amman, welcomes patients traveling from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Iraq, Libya, Palestine, and the Arabic-speaking diaspora in Europe and North America. Bariatric surgery in Jordan combines the Arab region's top-ranked medical destination, a surgical team that speaks your language, and costs far below what you would pay at home — just a short direct flight away.

Why Patients Travel to Jordan for Weight-Loss Surgery
A Trusted, Accredited Medical Destination
Jordan has ranked for years as the Arab world's leading medical tourism destination, and the UN World Tourism Organization designated it a regional center for medical and wellness tourism in the Middle East. Amman hosts one of the region's highest concentrations of JCI-accredited hospitals and receives hundreds of thousands of international patients every year.
Your Surgeon Speaks Your Language
For Arabic-speaking patients there is no translator standing between you and your surgeon: consultations, consent forms, post-op instructions, and medical reports are all delivered directly and clearly. English-speaking patients are equally at home — Dr. Dawoud and the team work comfortably in both languages.
Close and Easy to Reach
Amman is a short direct flight from across the region — about 2 hours from Kuwait, 2¼ hours from Riyadh, and 3 hours from Dubai — in nearly the same time zone, so there is no jet lag on top of surgery. GCC citizens enter Jordan visa-free for stays of up to three months.
Sensible, Transparent Costs
Bariatric procedures in Jordan cost significantly less than in the Gulf states, Europe, or North America, with equal or higher surgical standards. You receive a fixed, itemized personal quote within 24–48 hours of sending your reports — no surprise charges later.
