Jordan's stunning landscapes and rich history make it an appealing destination for many travelers. With its renowned sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, it attracts visitors from various backgrounds. Given that 4.1 million Bulgarians travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Jordan to be an intriguing option.
Jordan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Bulgaria. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, while Bulgaria ranks 26th. In terms of murder rates, Jordan has a rate of 1.0 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Bulgaria's rate of 1.3. When looking at organized crime indices, Bulgaria tends to score higher in various categories, indicating a more significant presence of crime networks and state crime compared to Jordan. For example, Bulgaria has a mafia groups index of 4.5, while Jordan's is 1.5. Overall, while Bulgaria is ranked higher in safety, Jordan remains a safe option for tourists, with lower murder rates and a relatively stable environment. However, travelers should always exercise standard precautions when visiting any foreign country.
