Brief summary:
Iaktta särskild försiktighet - Jordaniens säkerhetsläge är relativt stabilt, men kan förändras plötsligt. Den spända relationen mellan Israel och Iran kan öka säkerhetsriskerna i stora delar av Mellanöstern. Konflikterna i Syrien och Irak har påverkat säkerhetsläget i Jordanien. Oroligheterna på Västbanken och i Gaza reflekteras också ofta i Jordanien. Följ nyhetsrapporteringen noga. Resenärer utsätts inte för några särskilda risker. Det finns extremiströrelser i landet som kan försöka utföra attacker mot turistmål. Undvik stora folksamlingar.

Note of the displayed travel advisories
These travel advisories are automatically gathered. We use the RSS Feeds of the corresponding authorities of the single countries. In some cases, we analyse the website itself. Since the information originates from different countries and different countries have different understanding of danger and danger levels. Thus, the information displayed is an automized and normalized representation with no right to completeness and correctness. If a country is not shown, it doesn't necessarily mean it's safe. The information shown is a first indicator. Additional remark: the websites address does not endorse the situation of a 'Reisewarnung' (with its name). Often, it's just formal notifications by other countries. These can be the reason a country reaches scores of aorund 2.0 and still be a generally safe country to visit. Lower risk grades are usually no sign of a immanent threat!
