Is Jordan safe to travel?

I rented a car at the airport and drove all over Jordan for 10 days. I never felt in danger, the people were helpful and friendly. I loved Petra, spent a night in the desert, visited the ruins in Jerash, and saw amazing mosaics in Madaba.

I spent 10 days traveling by car through Jordan. This country is a true jewel. Every place exceeded my expectations. Moreover, I felt extremely safe there. Here is my travel itinerary: 2 nights in Amman, 3 nights in Petra, 2 nights in Wadi Rum, 2 nights in Aqaba, and 1 night in Amman.

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

I traveled alone in Jordan and despite dressing modestly, I was sexually harassed on three different occasions around Petra. Perhaps I was just unlucky, but I will never go back there alone, I will never feel safe there as a single woman again.

I traveled alone to Jordan in August. Jordan is one of my favorite countries to visit. I never felt unsafe there, and the Jordanians are very kind and helpful. I recommend dressing modestly, but they are not too strict about the dress code. I did encounter some interest from men, but I consider it harmless. I rented a car and traveled between Amman, Aqaba, Petra, and Wadi Rum.

I was in Jordan alone for 10 days, I rented a car and crossed the border into Israel in Aqaba. Jordan has very nice people. I visited Amman and Wadi Rum. I felt safe the whole time. My only advice is to dress modestly.

I traveled alone to Jordan last year, which was one of my favorite places. I went on a trip to Wadi Rum, Petra, and the Dead Sea, where I met many other solo female travelers. I felt safe, and people were extremely friendly. I also spent a few days in Irbid and crossed the border into Jerusalem.

I felt safe in Jordan. I was on a tour, but the guide told us that they don't observe Islamic law there, but one where women have legally guaranteed rights. The only thing I didn't like was that in Amman, one child followed me for half a block, saying "give me money."

Jordan is safe, and the people are friendly. I explored Petra for one intense day and managed to see most places. Wadi Rum is wonderful. I definitely spent too little time there. It is great to observe this place at different times of the day - from sunrise to sunset. The colors are amazing. 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 a few days alone in Jordan and a few days sharing a car with other people, as public transport is not very regular. I felt safe, but you have to be aware of scammers in Petra. I was in Petra for 3 days and it was definitely too much. I think one intensive day would be enough. I spent one day in Wadi Rum, sleeping under the stars, and it was the most wonderful.

I went alone, flew to Aqaba and spent two days there, then took a bus to Wadi Rum, spent a night in the desert, and because of the storm forecast, I went straight to Petra, because I really didn't want to miss it, so I spent 1.5 days there, then took a bus to Amman. A wonderful country for solitary travel.

I was in Jordan in February. Great weather and few tourists. Charming country, people, and food. I would go back there in a heartbeat. I also went on a tour.
