Solo Female Travel in Jordan

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Group travel experience

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."

Group travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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 live in Jordan, which is absolutely safe for a solo traveling woman and has a lot to see: - Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world - The Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth with a breathtaking view of the West (Palestine/Israel) and the sunset - Wadi Rum, a place similar to the Grand Canyon with red sand - Madaba, a place known for its historical mosaics, with a 1000-year-old church built to house the world's oldest mosaic map - Mount Nebo, where Moses was, and according to legend, is buried somewhere there - Jerash, a Roman city with 1000 pillars, one of Decapolis - Um Qais, another city in Decapolis, built of black stones, which in Roman times was a university and at the same time, it offers a view of the Golan Heights, from where on a clear day you can see parts of Lebanon, Syria, and of course, the Sea of Galilee - The baptismal site, where Jesus Christ was baptized
