Jordan's stunning landscapes and rich history make it an appealing destination for many travelers, particularly those from Kuwait. Its renowned sites like Petra and the Dead Sea attract a segment of the 4 million Kuwaiti population, enhancing its allure as a travel destination.
Jordan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranking 65th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is less safe than Kuwait, which ranks 25th. According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, the murder rate in Jordan is 1.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Kuwait's low rate of 0.3. In terms of organized crime, both countries have low indices, with Kuwait scoring better overall. For instance, Kuwait has a mafia group index of 1.0, while Jordan's is 1.5. However, Jordan faces higher challenges with crime networks and state crime compared to Kuwait. Overall, while Jordan is a safe destination, tourists from Kuwait may find it has higher crime rates and organized crime challenges than their home country.
