Middle East - Jordan - Welcome everyone

I've been a member for 3 years and I still don't know how to progress. I haven't found anything in Jordan and no one to contact.

By member I assume you mean a member of this internet forum. I don't think you will have much success becoming a Freemason in Jordan. This paper may help you understand the situation.

أعلم أن الانضمام صعب، وأسهل طريقة هي أن أجد شخصًا، وأكسب ثقته، ثم أطلب منه أن يرشحني. لكن ربما أجد طريقة أخرى للانضمام من خلالك ومن خلال معارفك.

I know it's difficult to join, and the simplest way would be to find someone, gain their trust, and have them recommend me. But I might find another way to join through you and your connections.

Never going to happen. Nobody on this internet forum can help you join the Freemasons. That isn't how it works. You have to live somewhere that has active Lodges and ask them. Unfortunately, you live in Jordan where they operate very discretely because of the Muslim fundamentalists. Last I heard, there are three Lodges operating in Jordan under the Grand Lodge of Scotland. That's the only help we can give is contact them and if they want to help you, they will. Your only other option is move to a country where Freemasonry is more accessible.

I know that Rotary and Lions are Masonic, and I can reach people who know me and whom I know, but I'd like to join in a proper way. I'd appreciate someone's support. This is information that no one knows, but I put it for everyone to see.

Rotary and Lions are not Masonic. Our organizations are not connected. You've been given the only advice we can give. Nobody on this forum can connect you with anyone.

As Winter said, Rotary and Lions are not Masonic bodies. There are certainly men who are Masons who also belong to Rotary and/or Lions, but the organizations themselves are not Masonic.

Sadly it would seem that, after 3 years armed with all the information (including the address and location of the Masonic Hall in Amman) we were able to give you, you're just not going to be able to become a Freemason. However, there is no need to worry, not everyone becomes a Freemason, you can just move on with your life.
