The Jordanian people are extremely friendly and welcoming towards females so expect a lot of people making conversation with you, buying you food and gifts and not expecting anything in return!
What to expect:
Staring – it isn’t an unfriendly stare as people are just interested in you and think it is unusual that a female is alone without a group or a male companion
Catcalling – this is quite common but again nothing unfriendly, it just may make you feel uncomfortable at times if men are saying things to you in Arabic that you don’t understand
Being asked if you are married or receiving marriage proposals – if you feel uncomfortable with this then just say you are married or even wear a ring to get rid of any unwanted attention
Being asked to have a ‘one night stand’ with men – if you don’t want to do this then just politely decline or say you are married or have a boyfriend

TOP TIPS to stay safe:
- Use Uber or book taxis/tours via your hostel/hotel
- Buy a SIM card so you can get help if you need to
- Don't accept invitations from strangers no matter how friendly they may seem
- Say you're married or wear a ring if you feel uncomfortable with the unwanted attention
