Group travel experience

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.

Family travel experience

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 travel experience

I visited Jordan in March and had an amazing time! I spent two days exploring by myself before my friend joined me, and I felt safe even when I was out alone at night. I highly suggest renting a car if you can drive because it makes traveling and seeing places much more convenient. With the car, I was able to fit in a lot of activities during those two days that would have been difficult without it.

Solo travel experience

I went to Jordan last year and I was blown away by the hospitality and genuine kindness of the local people. The biggest surprise for me was Amman. I didn't expect much of it, but it's a crazy bustling city with such a unique vibe. And the food. So cheap and so good.

Solo travel experience

Had a great time in Jordan. Rented a car for 10 days and traveled all over the country. Felt safe. People helpful. English widely spoken. Marvelous tourist sites from - Jerash (ancient Roman ruins) Petra, Wadi Rum, Madaba mosaics, the Dead Sea, Dana National Park and so much more. I even got to scuba dive a shipwreck in the Red Sea.

Jordan was amazing and I had an amazing time. I visited Amman, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, and a Dead Sea resort and loved all of it. Felt very safe.

Solo travel experience

I spent 6 days in Jordan and was able to see Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, the Dead Sea, and Madaba. Although I would have loved more time, I was able to squeeze everything in in the time I had. I hired a private driver who stayed with me the whole time and was able to drive me from place to place. I wish I would have more time in Petra and would have skipped Aqbaba.

Solo travel experience

I was in Jordan in December and I rented a car. I spent 2 days in Petra, 2 days in Amman, and another 2 days in Wadi Musa. I drove across the street along the Dead See which was very beautiful (colors, landscape, everything) and I came back to the airport at the end driving through the King's Highway, the street in the desert.

Solo travel experience

Went to Jordan in November. I never once felt unsafe. I ended up renting a car and going to the Dead Sea/Ma’in hot springs solo. Jordan is an Arab country, so would recommend dressing conservatively.

Solo travel experience

Petra is huge and I loved every minute of exploring it. Jerash was also amazing! I wasn't happy about the Dead Sea, though. While the floating was fun, cleaning off the salts was not and I felt slimy for a day or so afterward.
