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.

I lived in Amman for a year. Personally, I didn't feel unsafe once. As a white woman, I attracted a lot of attention, but personally, I didn't feel as if I am in danger. People will say "welcome to jordan" quite often, and honk, but mostly, the honking comes from taxis indicating that they are free to offer a ride. I didn't fear being robbed, it didnt happen to any f my friends or me. Cover shoulders and legs out of respect, and wear clothes that are comfortable for you. At night, I either took a bus or an uber/taxiF/Jeeny. East Amman is (according to some friends) a little 'unsafer' than Central and West Amman, so be cautious and try to go with a group. In other areas, i walked alone almost all the time and felt secure.

Amman is very safe place, just make sure not to wear something too revealing. Being respectful and moderate will help you alot, people are so friendly when approaching to them and try to help in all ways. Trying to speak to you is something normal as they will try hard to show you how welcoming they are.
