Atlas Risk Score · 138th safest of 220
Where the risk actually is
Each region is coloured by the advice that applies to most of it, drawn by hand from the wording of all five government advisories. Numbered markers flag localised warnings — usually a border strip or remote interior — that cover only a small part of an otherwise lower-risk region.
This map reads stronger than the world map's colour, and both are right. The world map shades Jordan by its Atlas Risk Score — 40, Moderate — which blends government advice with crime, health, roads and natural hazards. This map shows the advice alone, and the strongest level anywhere in Jordan is “essential travel only”.
What the warnings actually cover
-
1
Syrian border — Do not travel. Do-not-travel within 3km of the Syrian border. Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea are all far south of it.
-
2
Aqaba port and airport — Essential travel only. Essential-travel-only for Aqaba international airport and seaport specifically, after regional missile activity. Aqaba town and the Red Sea diving sites are not covered.
A numbered marker warns about the small area described in its note — the rest of that region carries the base advice. Mapped by hand from the official wording in July 2026; always check the current advisory before you book.
What drives the score
Each pillar is scored 0–100 against every other country. Longer bar = more risk.
Biggest factor here: official advisories. What the US, UK and Dutch governments currently tell their own citizens about travelling here.
