Jordan offers stunning landscapes and a rich history, making it an appealing destination for international tourists. With its famous sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, it could attract a segment of the 8.6 million Belgians who travel abroad annually.
Jordan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Belgium. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, while Belgium ranks 16th, indicating that Belgium is safer overall. In terms of crime statistics, Jordan has a murder rate of 1.0 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Belgium's rate of 1.1. However, the rate of female murders is higher in Jordan (0.6) compared to Belgium (0.2). When looking at organized crime, Belgium has lower indices across various categories, suggesting a more stable environment in comparison to Jordan. For instance, Belgium scores 3.0 for mafia groups, while Jordan scores 1.5. Overall, while Jordan is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise caution, especially in unfamiliar areas.
