Jordan's stunning landscapes and rich history make it an appealing destination for many travelers. With its ancient sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, it attracts a segment of Iraq's population of 44 million.
Jordan is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, especially when compared to Iraq. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, while Iraq is ranked 148th. Additionally, the murder rate in Jordan is significantly lower, with 1.0 per 100,000 people compared to Iraq's 10.1. Crime statistics further illustrate the safety difference: Jordan has lower indices in organized crime categories, such as mafia groups (Jordan: 1.5 vs. Iraq: 6.5) and state crime (Jordan: 6.5 vs. Iraq: 8.0). Overall, tourists from Iraq can expect a safer environment in Jordan, although it's always advisable to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
