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 solo 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!

About me

I’m half American, half palestinian. I lived the majority of my later life in the States and wanted a change. I recently moved back to Amman, for the long term. I’m curious, adaptable, and enjoy connecting with new people and exploring different cultures. I have a passion for learning and tackling challenges, and I love finding creative solutions, whether it’s at work or in everyday life. In my downtime, you’ll probably find me trying out local cuisine, discovering hidden gems around the city, or enjoying a quiet evening with a good book. I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing experiences!

About me

Hey 🙋‍♀️ I’m Rama and I’m a medical student, almost at the finish line. Medicine’s a huge part of my life, but I’m not just about books and hospitals…i also love traveling. There’s something about exploring new places, meeting people from different cultures, and seeing how the world works outside my comfort zone that keeps me grounded and curious. I’m driven and detail oriented, but I’ve also learned to slow down and appreciate life as it comes. I love spontaneous adventures, good laughs, and stories that make life feel bigger. Always ready for the next trip, whether it’s a city escape or a hidden gem off the beaten path
