Tunisia offers a compelling destination for Jordanian travelers, featuring a rich blend of cultural and natural attractions. With historical sites like Carthage and El Djem, it appeals to those interested in archaeology and history. Given that around 800,000 Jordanians travel abroad annually, a portion may find Tunisia an appealing choice.
Tunisia is considered relatively safe for tourists, with a Global Peace Index ranking of 72nd out of 160 countries. However, it is slightly less safe compared to Jordan, which ranks 65th. Regarding crime statistics, Tunisia has a murder rate of 4.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Jordan's 1.0. Female murder rates are also higher in Tunisia at 1.9 versus Jordan's 0.6. In terms of organized crime, Tunisia has a lower score for mafia groups (1.0) compared to Jordan (1.5), indicating a relatively lower presence of such groups. However, Jordan scores higher on crime networks (7.0 vs. Tunisia's 4.0) and state crime (6.5 vs. 5.5). Overall, while Tunisia is generally safe for tourists, travelers from Jordan should remain aware of the differences in crime rates and organized crime indices.
