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.”

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.

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.

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.

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 went to Jordan last October for my birthday. So safe. Wadi rum was the most fun, and Petra was amazing. The weather was perfect. Probably the best trip I’ve ever had and I’ve been to many places.

I went alone, flew to Aqaba and spend two days there then took a bus to Wadi room, had a night sleep in the dessert and because of the storm forecast I went to Petra straight away as I really wanted not to miss it so spend there 1.5 days and then took a bus to Amman. Great country to travel solo.

I was in Jordan in February. Great weather and not many tourists. Lovely country, people, and food. Would return in a heartbeat. I also went on a tour.

I felt extremely safe in Jordan. I went with a female friend, we rented a car and drove around ourselves - we loved it. We also wore regular clothes everywhere we went and nobody looked at us twice.

Visiting Petra, Jordan was an amazing experience - one of those bucket-list trips that you remember forever. I don’t know if I would have been comfortable travelling there alone, so recommend going with a buddy or group.

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).

I’m thinking of visiting Wadi Rum desert in Jordan for 3 days (2 nights) but unfortunately, my budget is very small. Anyone of you has done that kind of tours? Do you have any suggestions maybe (tour guides etc)? I’d appreciate it a lot. I just want to make sure that I will book something legit and safe.
