For solo women, touristic sites are easier and less challenging to travel around, but still, they are worth it!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">As much as I hate to say it, there\u2019s a reason certain sites are tourist traps \u2013 they\u2019re really worth it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Widely visited Jordanian tourist sites like the ruins of Petra, the Dead Sea, and the Wadi Rum are great for solo women travelers because they are heavily populated with other tourists from all around the globe, so chances are you will hear your language being spoken at one of the sites and get invited to tag along with a tour group. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Touring with other people can be a deterrent for getting singled out by pickpockets or overly aggressive panhandlers that can sometimes be intimidating for women sightseeing alone; I would especially encourage this if you are considering a tour of the bluffs and canyons throughout Wadi Rum because it is more of a singular destination that can often take well into the night to roam. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Other popular destinations with a lot of foot traffic are the Red Sea scuba and boating terminus, Aqaba; the zip lining experience at the Mujib Nature Reserve; and the plethora of archaeology opportunities at any of Jerash, Madaba, or Qasr Al-Abd\u2019s sites. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">However, for female solo travelers looking to explore Jordan in its natural state, meandering through Amman\u2019s outdoor markets and Al-Balad downtown area is a good way to experience Jordanian food at its finest (you can\u2019t go wrong with khunafeh and shawarma) and engage in the ancient art of haggling.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-20647\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/solo-woman-travel-jordan.avif\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/solo-woman-travel-jordan.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/solo-woman-travel-jordan.jpg\" alt=\"solo women travel in Jordan\" class=\"wp-image-20647\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Natalie in Wadi Rum &#8211;

<\/span>\u201cfamily friendly,\u201d \u201cwell-informed,\u201d \u201cpunctual,\u201d and \u201corganized.\u201d I have found that a lot of these terms can be code for \u201cwon\u2019t make unsolicited advances,\u201d \u201cproud of and updated on local history,\u201d \u201cfamiliar with western perceptions of promptness,\u201d and \u201chas a structured plan for the day\u2019s events.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Another keyword to keep an eye out for is \u201clocal,\u201d not only due to its implication of being inherently knowledgeable, but also in light of the fact that if you are visiting a foreign country, you want to hire a tour guide who has personal vestment in the nation, as it almost always ensures a better quality of tour. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Moreover, as a visitor, you want to be contributing back into the population&#8217;s direct economy, and this is a more certain way of doing that than employing a corporate or third party hire. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">For my personal Jordanian experience, I was lucky enough to have booked a local guide for the week who spoke multiple languages and could give restaurant suggestions, mediate shopping transactions, and answer any questions that may arise about cultural appropriateness in Jordan \u2013 it was quite possibly one of the best tour guide experiences I have ever had!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-20649\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/solo-female-travel-jordan.avif\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/solo-female-travel-jordan.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/solo-female-travel-jordan.jpg\" alt=\"solo female travel in Jordan\" class=\"wp-image-20649\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Natalie with a local guide &#8211;

Go on a desert safari<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Even if you\u2019re not super into nature escapades, just do it; you\u2019ll thank me later. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">With its vast gorges and weathered rock formations, the Wadi Rum is my preferred safari destination and probably the most accessible and frequented by tour groups. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">You would be hard pressed to find a Jordanian agent or company who didn\u2019t offer day tours or overnight experiences, and the variety of options extended means you can afford to be picky about what specific type of adventure would best fit your schedule and style as a solo woman traveler in Jordan.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Among some of the more nuanced activities presented are hot air balloon rides, sand boarding lessons, Bedouin road abseiling, guided hiking tours, and camel safaris. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Personally, for fellow female explorers, I would recommend booking a Jeep tour of the sandstone canyons. I was taken to a Bedouin camp a few miles into the ravine and introduced to a multi-generational nomadic family who recounted their own history, as well as the Wadi\u2019s, while serving Jordan\u2019s traditional tea and dessert combo. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Afterwards, I was taken to several natural bridges (Um Fruth, Burddah, etc.) and allowed to hike them \u2013 while taking as much time as necessary for pictures and water breaks \u2013 after which, it had gotten cold unexpectedly, so our guide was kind enough to make an unexpected stop and build a fire for those of us who were more temperate. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Many of the Bedouin camps also have small shops where you can purchase souvenirs or trinkets from the trip, and all the shopkeepers I encountered were more than willing to walk you through the historical significance each item represented. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">If your tour does last into the night, many guides will take an evening prayer break during which you are free to take more photos or wander the nearby terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eaeaea\">Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/iran-solo-female-traveler\/\"><strong>Visiting Iran as a solo female traveler<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-20667 size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC05435.avif\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC05435.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC05435.jpg\" alt=\"solo female travel to jordan\" class=\"wp-image-20667\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Natalie during her desert safari &#8211; solo female travel in Jordan<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\">5. As a solo woman traveler in Jordan, be aware of the cultural differences<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Honestly, Jordan is a very tourist-friendly country, and most of the negative stories I have heard of western women travelers in the region have been direct results of their not adhering to local customs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excluding the more modern parts of Amman, Jordan does observe the segregation of genders in a lot of public places, including some restaurants and means of public transportation; as a guest in their country, it is important to respect the rules as they stand \u2013 especially as a solo female traveler \u2013 and only eat, shop, travel, etc. in the sections designated to women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Gender roles are also held more distinctly in that it would be strange for a woman to be out alone at night in the city center or at bars or clubs, so you may be approached or experience unwanted stares if you choose to engage in the nightlife scene unaccompanied. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">I have found that the best way to navigate those situations is not to make eye contact or respond, as prolonged eye contact is often seen as flirting (whereas in western countries it is just a polite means of acknowledgment).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from that, I always encourage solo female travelers in any country, but especially when in the Middle East, to be observant of your surroundings and do the necessary research to understand cultural expectations before booking your ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">The more you know beforehand, the less you\u2019ll be scrambling in the country to find suitable clothing, ticketing agents, and living accommodations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion &#8211; Solo female travel in Jordan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\"> My experience roaming through Jordan was extremely positive, and I would highly recommend it as a gateway to Middle Eastern travel for any unaccompanied female travelers who perhaps are nervous about or inexperienced in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\"> Jordan provides an excellent blending of modern and ancient customs and has embraced, more so than its neighbors, an elevated view of women that makes it that much more enjoyable to visit on a solo journey.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More solo female travel guides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/female-travel-iraq\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Iraq<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/solo-female-travel-iraqi-kurdistan\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Iraqi Kurdistan<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/iran-solo-female-traveler\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Iran<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/tips-for-solo-female-travel-in-lebanon\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Lebanon<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/traveling-oman-woman\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Oman<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/solo-female-travel-pakistan\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Pakistan<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/traveling-saudi-woman\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/visit-sudan-female-traveler\/\">Solo Female Travel Guide to Sudan<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e2ecf6;font-size:18px\"><em>As a former academic editor and long-time writing enthusiast, Natalie\u2019s passion for the power of the written word and visual journalism was cultivated throughout her childhood adventures, as she grew up in Central Asia and the Middle East.
