Country overall: Medium Risk
Terrorism is a threat to foreigners in Jordan, particularly Westerners and those deemed to support US policy in the Middle East. In 2005, terrorists attacked three well known international hotels in Amman causing multiple fatalities. In the same year they also unsuccessfully targeted a US naval ship in Aqaba. Crime levels are relatively low. Multiple governments urge visitors to Jordan to exercise caution.

Travelling Man: I found that the hotels in Amman; Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Queen Alia,Four Seasons etc only paid lip service to security despite the hotel bombings.
