Jordan offers stunning landscapes and a rich history, making it an appealing destination for tourists. Its renowned sites like Petra and the Dead Sea attract travelers, including a portion of the 2 million Greeks who travel abroad annually. Thus, it holds potential interest for Greek visitors.
Jordan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Greece. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, while Greece ranks 40th, indicating that Greece is statistically safer. In terms of crime statistics, Greece has a murder rate of 0.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Jordan's rate of 1.0. Both countries have similar rates for female murders at 0.6. When examining organized crime, Greece scores better in several categories, but Jordan has lower scores for mafia groups and state crime, suggesting some areas of concern. However, Jordan's overall crime environment is still manageable for tourists. In summary, while Greece is statistically safer, Jordan remains a viable and relatively safe option for tourists, with appropriate precautions.
