City threat summary

Amman carries an elevated terrorism risk and medium-level political violence threat, with the broader regional security environment remaining complex and subject to rapid change due to ongoing conflict in neighboring countries.

The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 3 — Reconsider Travel advisory for Jordan, and ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and their families in March 2026 citing safety risks.

Street crime in Amman is assessed as low-threat but present, primarily in the form of petty theft and opportunistic targeting of foreigners, while frequent protests related to regional conflict and economic grievances occur across the city and can escalate unpredictably.

Country overview

Jordan operates under a U.S. State Department Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) advisory driven by terrorism, armed conflict, and crime, reflecting a security environment that has worsened materially since the onset of U.S.-Iran hostilities in February 2026.

The broader regional conflict — encompassing the ongoing Hamas-Israel war, Iranian drone and missile activity, and Houthi operations — continues to generate episodic flight disruptions and threat events affecting Jordanian infrastructure, including a credible threat against Aqaba's international airport and seaport in July 2026.

Domestically, the government maintains firm control under King Abdullah and Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, but public dissatisfaction over Gaza, rising living costs, and tightening civic space sustains an elevated undercurrent of social tension.
