Is Jordan safe for solo female travelers?

Jordan has traditionally been one of the safer countries in the Middle East for solo female travelers. Its reputation for hospitality, combined with its stable political environment typically leads to a safe and welcoming setting for visitors. However, it's important to respect Jordan's conservative culture. Dress modestly, avoid isolated areas, specially at night, and always trust your intuition when interacting with people. While cases of serious crime against tourists are rare, incidents of harassment can occur, similar to many destinations around the world.

How safe is Jordan for female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.4 /5

based on 41 experiences from female travelers

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.

Jordan, Couple travel

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.

Jordan, Solo travel

I did a solo trip to Jordan last September. I rented a car and it was easy, the roads were in good condition, easy to get around. I spent 3 days in Amman and then picked up my rental car. I felt safe the entire time.

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.

Jordan

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

Amman

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.
