How safe is Jordan?
Amman
Amman is a safe and lovely city; there is nothing to be worried about. However, it is important to visit well-known places and use reputable apps, such as Careem or Uber, for transportation. Everything is safe, and the people in Amman are very nice and helpful.

I was born in Jordan, and I lived there, it is extremely unsafe, especially for women. Please be careful, and don't travel alone, find locals who can help you. Women are abused and killed there very often

Amman
Amman is generally very safe for female travelers especially in the more “diverse” areas where you can find expats and other tourists. The most I or my friends/visitors have experienced is getting catcalled in some (not all) parts of the city in crowded areas or very very late at night. I would recommend not walking outside alone at night as a rule regardless of where you are but if you have companions you will most likely be fine!

Amman
Amman is perfectly safe during the morning. At night it's safe as long as you stay in lively places or good neighborhoods. It's mostly safe but better to ask natives so you don't get scammed by taxis or shops

Once you’re familiar with amman and the way around its ethics and morality, you’ll be good to go. It’s a bit tricky to navigate but easy to pick up on. Overall safe, a couple of judgy people here n there but those are harmless.

Jordan, Family travel
Jordan is a very beautiful country. It feels safe, just regarding the circulation, the people there seems to not have their licence when you see how they are driving. Nevertheless the food and the hostels are nice. There are breathtaking landscapes and one of the seven wonders : Petra.
