Jordan offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes and rich history, making it an appealing destination for many travelers. Its renowned sites like Petra and the Dead Sea attract visitors from various backgrounds. With around 500,000 Bahrainis traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find Jordan particularly interesting to explore.
Jordan is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Bahrain. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, making it safer than Bahrain, which ranks 79th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Jordan is 1.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Bahrain's very low rate of 0.1. While Jordan has higher rates of female murders (0.6) compared to Bahrain (0.2), both countries maintain relatively low overall crime rates. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that both countries face challenges, but Bahrain generally scores better in terms of organized crime indices. For instance, mafia groups rank at 1.0 in Bahrain versus 1.5 in Jordan, indicating a lower presence of such groups in Bahrain. However, Jordan has a significantly lower score for resource crime (1.5) compared to Bahrain (6.5), suggesting a safer environment in that regard. Overall, while there are some differences in crime statistics, Jordan is a safe option for tourists from Bahrain.
