Jordan offers stunning landscapes and a rich history, making it an appealing destination for international travelers. With its renowned sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, it attracts a segment of Malaysia's 34 million population.
Jordan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Malaysia. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, while Malaysia ranks significantly higher at 10th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Jordan is 1.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Malaysia's much lower rate of 0.7. Regarding organized crime, Jordan has a lower score for mafia groups (1.5) compared to Malaysia (4.5), but higher scores for crime networks (7.0 vs. 5.5) and state crime (6.5 vs. 6.0). Overall, while Jordan is not as safe as Malaysia, it remains a viable option for tourists, with precautions advisable as in any travel situation.
