Head of mission: Mr. Omar Anton Naber, Honorary Consul (as listed in the diplomatic list of Uruguay, 11 Dec 2024)
Uruguay presents a unique appeal for some Jordanian travelers, thanks to its vibrant culture and picturesque landscapes. As a developing tourism destination nestled between Brazil and Argentina, it offers a range of attractions that can attract both leisure and business visitors. With around 800,000 Jordanians traveling internationally each year, a portion may find Uruguay an intriguing option.
Uruguay is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Jordan. According to the Global Peace Index, Uruguay ranks 51st out of 160 countries, making it safer than Jordan, which ranks 65th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Uruguay is higher at 8.9 per 100,000 people compared to Jordan's 1.0. However, other crime indices indicate that Uruguay has a lower level of organized crime and state crime compared to Jordan. For example, both countries score similarly on mafia presence (1.5), but Uruguay scores better in areas like state crime (2.0 vs. Jordan's 6.5) and human smuggling (2.0 vs. Jordan's 5.5). Overall, while tourists should always exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings, Uruguay is relatively safe compared to Jordan, particularly in terms of organized crime.
