It is a stable country with low crime and strong hospitality, and has been a safe destination for decades. Government advice restricts areas near the Syrian and Iraqi borders, and regional circumstances change, so check current advice before travelling.\r\nIs Jordan expensive? | More than its neighbours, because the dinar is strong and site entries are costly. Dorms from \u20ac12 and street food at \u20ac3 to \u20ac5, but a day runs \u20ac40 to \u20ac60.
