Jordan's stunning landscapes and rich history make it an appealing destination for international tourists. With its legendary sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, it attracts travelers from various backgrounds. Among the 19.1 million Britons who travel abroad annually, a notable number may find Jordan an intriguing option.
Jordan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from the United Kingdom. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, while the UK ranks 34th, indicating that the UK is safer overall. Both countries have similar murder rates at 1.0 per 100,000 people. However, when examining organized crime, Jordan has lower scores in areas like mafia groups (Jordan 1.5 vs UK 4.0), indicating less influence from organized crime. Nonetheless, Jordan scores higher in crime networks and state crime compared to the UK, suggesting some challenges in those areas. Overall, while Jordan is not as safe as the UK, it remains a popular and relatively secure destination for tourists. Travelers should remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
