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.

It's generally very safe and welcoming. People here speak Arabic, but they're happy to try their English out. Very friendly and hospitable Good food and there are tourist programs and organized tours The only thing you might experience as a woman is probably catcalling, although it's significantly better nowadays.

As long as you’re staying in popular areas and avoiding poor neighborhoods at late hours, it’ll be okay The crime rate is low compared to all countries around the world, and sexual harassment is possible but also rarely as it depends where you go

Safe It is very safe especially when it comes to night life as I am not worried that something dangerous could happen to me and this is the most important thing in my opinion there is no sexual harassment

It’s very safe for women, everyone is very welcoming and very friendly but as usual if women is alone some guys might be too friendly or annoying but if you show that you don’t like to engage they respect that It’s very safe to walk at night in main areas and some of course is not good, the security is very high and you find police everywhere

Everywhere you can find a police in the streets. I have never experienced something bad in public actually thanks god. People are kind and helpful. But I don’t prefer for a lady solo travel to visit any place in Amman especially at night. Not all places are the same.

Its very safe but like any other country there are a couple of areas to stay away from if you are alone, i love it , its very full of life and amazing people and the food is amazing , just make sure to check the price before buying anything and would recommend ubers instead of taxis

Amman is considered a very safe city , of course some parts of the city are safer than others , but people are mostly nice here. Jordan is considered a safe country , people are very welcoming and generous. I recommend visiting it.

Amman in general is a safe city and I can say that to whole Jordan, yes it's in a region where it's not so stable, but Jordan always managed to be a safe country. In Amman you can walk in the streets not worried, but mostly you might just get looks or something, but other than that people are in general very friendly and inviting, you will feel very welcomed, and you might even get invited to drink tea in someone's random house :)

Well it’s relatively safe however we do have a lot of harassment especially towards women. Depending on the area you are in whether it’s a higher income area or a lower one the treatment you receive is different however if you are western you might be treated better than an Arab!

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.

Jordan is a safe place to stay even for girls, they pay attention to the tourist.however it is recommended to hide shoulders and wear more conservative clothes We had an accomodation in Aquaba and travelled to Amman by bus. All the attractions are on the way. It worth to fly to one city and fly back from the other one.
