Is Jordan Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I felt completely safe. Rented a car there and drove from Amman, to the Dead Sea, to Wadi Rum, and Petra. It was an amazing trip.

Solo travel experience

I travelled solo through Jordan and despite dressing modestly I was sexually assaulted on 3 different occasions in and around the area of Petra. Maybe I was just unlucky but I would never return there alone, I will never feel safe there again as a solo female.

Solo travel experience

I’ve traveled to Jordan solo in August. Jordan is one of my favorite countries to visit. I’ve never felt unsafe and the Jordanians are very nice and helpful. I recommend dressing modestly, but they aren’t too strict with the dress code there. I got some male attention but I’ve found it to be harmless. I rented a car and drove between Amman, Aqaba, Petra, and Wadi Rum.

Solo travel experience

I was in Jordan for 10 days solo, rented a car, and crossed the border to Israel in Aqaba. Jordan people are very kind. Visited Aman and Wadi Rum. Felt safe all the time. My only advice is to dress modestly.

Solo travel experience

Travelled last year solo to Jordan, which was one of my favourite places. Did a tour to Wadi Rum, Petra, and the Dead Sea and met many other solo female travellers. I felt safe and people were super friendly. Also spent a few days in Irbid and crossed over into Jerusalem.

Group travel experience

I felt safe in Jordan, I was on a tour but the guide told us that they do not follow Islamic law but one where women have rights legally. The only thing I didn’t like was in Amman this child was following me for half a block saying “give me money.”

Group travel experience

Jordan is safe and the people are friendly. I explored Petra in one intense day and I managed to see the vast majority of the sites. Wadi Rum is wonderful. I definitely spent too little time there. It's great to see it at different times of the day - from sunrise to sunset. The colors are incredible. I recommend staying with the Bedouins and going on a safari. As for transportation, there were four of us and we rented a car.

Solo travel experience

I spent several days alone in Jordan and a few days sharing a car with other people because public transportation is not very regular. I felt safe but you need to be aware of the scammers in Petra. I was in Petra for 3 days and it was definitely too much. I think 1 intense day would have been enough. I spent one day in Wadi Rum, sleeping under the stars, and that was the most wonderful.

Solo travel experience

I went on an 8-day solo tour to Jordan. It was my first solo trip post covid. Jordan is gorgeous and very safe. I saw Petra, Gerash, Amman, Wadi Rum, Mount Nebo, and the Dead Sea and spent a night in the desert with Bedouin people.

Group travel experience

Jordan is beautiful. We were in a big group so I felt safe most times, but my sense was that it was safe for women in general. In the city, I would recommend covering shoulders and knees, but I saw a lot of tourists in crops, shorts, and dresses in touristy places. I wore a crop top one day and didn't feel very comfy with the stares in Amman. I highly recommend visiting Petra and the Dead Sea.

I live in Jordan it is absolutely safe for a solo female traveller and much to see: - Petra one of the world 7 wonders - dead sea, the lowest point on earth with a breath taking view looking at West (Palestine/Israel) and watch the sunset - wadi rum, a place similar to grand canyon with red sands - madaba, a place known for historic mosaic pieces, with a 1000 years old church built to host the world eldest mosaic map - mount Nebo where Moses was and legend says that he was burried somewhere in the mount - jerash, the Roman city with 1000 pillars, one of the Decapolis - um qais also another Decapolis city built with black stones, hosted a university during the Roman empire, and at the same time it over looks Golan heights, where on a good day u can see parts of Lebanon, Syria and of course Tiberian lake - baptism site, where Jesus Christ was baptized

Solo travelHow much money should I convert to Jordanian dinar for food/drink/souvenirs in Petra Jordan?

Approximately how much money did you spend at Petra Jordan for food/drink/souvenirs? I have a tour booked so entrance fees/tip are covered but I'm unsure how much money I should convert to Jordanian dinar as I'll only be in Jordan one day (land crossing from Israel).
