My 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€

Amman is a very interesting city, you might hear some catcalling but if you ignore them you should be fine. Food can be amazing but I did get poisoned as a European women with a delicate stomach. Citadel is absolutely beautiful and locals are very friendly and helpful.

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.

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 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

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
