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.
Posted: April 29, 2025Jordan 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.
Posted: December 17, 2024Experienced: September, 2023I 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.

Posted: January 18, 2024Experienced: September, 2023My experience in Jordan was amazing! We started in Amman with a two nights stay. People are amazing and really lovely, friendly! At first I didnt know what to expect from Jordan but at the end of the day I realized how safe I actually felt. Afterwards we went to Wadi Rum. We bought a guided tour with a night stay in the desert and it was magical experience. The locals were so friendly and nice. Food was probably the best I ever ate in a foreign country. We then went to Wadi Musa to see Petra and the tour was just amazing. We saw a lot and it was worth every step! We walked from 7 am until 4 pm. The last location was the dead see and well... once you are there you just have to get inside and take a swim. It feels like flying and the water is just great. You have showers there (depends where you go) because after a while you can feel the itch because of the salt. Well thats it! The food was amazing, locals were amazing, prices were solid. The total money I spet for 6 days was maybe around 500€
Posted: January 4, 2024I rented a car at the airport and drove all over Jordan for 10 days. I never felt in danger, the people were helpful and friendly. I loved Petra, spent a night in the desert, visited the ruins in Jerash, and saw amazing mosaics in Madaba.
Posted: December 30, 2023I spent 10 days traveling by car through Jordan. This country is a true jewel. Every place exceeded my expectations. Moreover, I felt extremely safe there. Here is my travel itinerary: 2 nights in Amman, 3 nights in Petra, 2 nights in Wadi Rum, 2 nights in Aqaba, and 1 night in Amman.
Posted: December 28, 2023I felt completely safe. I rented a car there and drove from Amman, to the Dead Sea, through Wadi Rum, all the way to Petra. It was an amazing trip.
Posted: December 3, 2023I traveled alone in Jordan and despite dressing modestly, I was sexually harassed on three different occasions around Petra. Perhaps I was just unlucky, but I will never go back there alone, I will never feel safe there as a single woman again.

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.

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!

I’m a dreamer with a love for beauty in all its forms—whether it’s in art, little everyday moments, or the way the sun hits the water just right. Creativity is my language, and I express it through colors, textures, and ideas that tell a story. I find joy in the simple things—a good book, a quiet swim, the rhythm of a padel match, or the feeling of movement at the gym. Balance is my muse, and I’m always seeking ways to nurture my mind, body, and soul. Life, to me, is about passion, growth, and a touch of elegance in everything I do.
