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.
Posted: April 20, 2025It'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.
Posted: April 12, 2025As 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
Posted: January 31, 2025It’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

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.

Hey, I’m Stephanie! I’m a musician and polyglot with a deep love for cultures and languages. Meeting people from around the world and learning about their traditions is something I truly enjoy. Though my busy schedule hasn’t allowed me to travel as much as I’d like, when I do, I prefer to experience a place like a local—discovering hidden gems, small restaurants, cozy pubs, and lesser-known attractions. I’ve traveled to Japan, South Korea, Russia, Egypt, and studied in the UK. My dream destinations right now are the Netherlands, Spain, Norway, Ireland, Thailand, and a return trip to South Korea!
