Jordan offers stunning landscapes and a rich history, making it an appealing destination for international travelers. Its iconic sites like Petra and the Dead Sea attract visitors, including a segment of the 1.5 million Filipinos who travel abroad annually, some of whom may find Jordan an intriguing option.
Jordan is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from the Philippines. According to the Global Peace Index, Jordan ranks 65th out of 160 countries, which is significantly better than the Philippines, ranked 102nd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Jordan is notably lower at 1.0 per 100,000 people compared to the Philippines' rate of 4.4. Additionally, organized crime indices indicate that Jordan has a lower prevalence of mafia groups and resource crime, scoring 1.5 and 1.5 respectively, while the Philippines scores much higher in these areas. Overall, while no destination is without risks, Jordan presents a safer environment for tourists compared to the Philippines based on available data.
