Jordan - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

Sept 11, 2024

Exercise increased caution in Jordan due to terrorism. Some areas have increased risk.

Do not travel to:

Within 3.5 km of the Jordan-Syria border and east of the town of Ruwayshid in the direction of the Iraq border due to terrorism and armed conflict.
Designated Syrian refugee camps in Jordan due to Government of Jordan restrictions on entry into these camps.
Zarqa, Rusayfah, and the Baqa’a neighborhood of Ayn Basha due to terrorism and crime.

Reconsider travel to:

Ma’an City and some areas of Ma’an Governorate due to terrorism and crime.

Country Summary: Terrorist groups continue to plot possible attacks in Jordan. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and local government facilities. While Jordan itself is relatively stable, due to high tensions in the region, the security environment remains complex and can change quickly.
