Sweden offers a captivating experience for tourists, featuring stunning landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors, its appeal lies in quality experiences rather than sheer volume. A segment of the 800,000 Jordanians who travel abroad each year may find Sweden to be an intriguing destination.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Jordan. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, especially compared to Jordan, which ranks 65th. However, when it comes to walking alone at night, Sweden ranks 36th among 40 European countries, suggesting some concerns in this area. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rates are quite similar, with Jordan at 1.0 per 100,000 people and Sweden at 1.1. Other crime indices show that while Sweden has higher scores for organized crime (mafia groups and crime networks), it performs better in state crime and human trafficking compared to Jordan. Overall, while there are some safety considerations, Sweden is generally safer than Jordan for tourists.
