gig – Jordan (Arab Orient) vs JOFICO (Jordan French Insurance)
Two Jordan business insurance options, compared side by side for Jordan trades.
Which should you choose?
gig – Jordan (Arab Orient) edges ahead on our Jordan tiering (Tier S vs A), but both are workable — the right pick depends on your trade, region, and the Jordan-specific notes below.
gig – Jordan (Arab Orient)
Tier S · RecommendedMarket-leading, regionally-backed multi-line insurer
Founded 1996 as Arab Orient; joined Gulf Insurance Group (a top-3 MENA insurer) in 2013. Among the largest insurers in Jordan by premium and AM Best-rated — a true market leader with deep reinsurance capacity for large infrastructure.
Pros
- + Market leader by premium
- + GIG group backing = deep capacity
- + AM Best-rated
- + Full engineering sub-lines + e-services portal
Cons
- − No fetchable static CAR page (JS-rendered site)
- − No online quote
- − Engineering buried under "Business Insurance"
- − Corporate cover needs a broker/branch
Jordan note
The GIG backing means the capacity to underwrite large Jordanian infrastructure risk — its engineering line covers CAR, plant & machinery, machinery breakdown and more, placed through a broker rather than online.
JOFICO (Jordan French Insurance)
Tier A · WorkableEstablished Jordanian-French insurer with a full engineering line
Founded 1976 with a French insurance-group partnership; a mid-to-upper-tier multi-line insurer, ASE-listed, well-regarded for corporate and engineering lines.
Pros
- + Contractors All Risks + engineering named explicitly on its own site
- + Operating since 1976; French technical heritage
- + ASE-listed and transparent
- + Local Jordanian company
Cons
- − Engineering page is Arabic-only
- − No online quote
- − Mid-size balance sheet vs the market leaders
- − English depth thinner
Jordan note
Its own product page explicitly lists Contractors All Risks (مخاطر المقاولين الشامل), Plant & Machinery, Machinery Breakdown and Erection All Risks — the strongest first-party verification of CAR cover of any Jordanian insurer we found.
