Let's discuss general safety and crime rates in Jordan and Uzbekistan. Jordan is known for its stability and welcoming atmosphere, particularly for tourists. It generally feels very safe.
I agree about Jordan's reputation. Uzbekistan, however, might not immediately spring to mind when considering safety, but I found it surprisingly secure. My experience was far from the "Cold War spy movie" I half-expected.
Jordan's crime rates, especially against tourists, are low. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas, but serious crime is uncommon. It's more likely you'll receive a polite reminder about a forgotten phone than experience theft.
Uzbekistan has a visible police presence, which some may find reassuring, others possibly not. Street crime, however, is rare.
Common sense precautions are always advisable. In Jordan's bustling souks, keep an eye on your belongings; don't flash cash or wear expensive jewelry.
In Uzbekistan, the conservative, family-oriented culture fosters a sense of community and safety. Social cohesion plays a larger role than formal policing.
Jordan's Bedouin hospitality is renowned. The strong emphasis on hospitality and community contributes significantly to the feeling of safety.
Both countries offer relatively safe environments for visitors. You're more likely to trip than encounter serious trouble.
