How will the independent female tourist be treated in Jordan?
I want to look at Petra, and the desert, and Amman and Aqaba. How does the local population generally react to tourists? Should I wrap myself in a scarf or will jeans and a shirt with sleeves to the elbow be enough?

I walked with my shoulders and knees covered, but every day I saw a lot of tourists in shorts and with bare shoulders walking around Aqaba and no one poked their fingers at them or cursed. I can say the same about Peter - well, the girls were dressed differently and no one made any comments.

Civilized country, enough jeans and shirts! Be sure to take a scarf to cover your head when visiting holy sights (Churches, mosques, the place of Jesus' baptism, etc.) Also, when swimming in the Jordan River, you need a bathing shirt, you can buy it on the spot!

mishonok, there is no group, I am writing that I want to go on my own.
Aqaba and Petra are clear, thanks for the answers, but what about other cities?

A nice town Madaba, the main attraction is the Church of St. George (you definitely need to go there in a scarf, a long skirt and with closed shoulders). Near Madaba is: Mount Nebo and hot springs (you need a swimsuit).

My wife wore a regular swimsuit (meaning not mini). They themselves were unaccompanied at the springs and where only Arab families were present, no one threw stones (they looked, yes, but there were no manifestations of unfriendliness)!

Outside the hotel, no one forbids you to dress as you wish. And swim in any bikini. But what will local residents or visitors from Arab countries think of you?

Thank you all for your time and advice! In general, well, them, these Arabs and everything that they think there ... I’m not ready to put on a scarf yet, I bought a ticket to Sri Lanka.

in Jordan: I was only from Egypt, got on the bus and went straight to Petra, I remember coffee with cardamom in a roadside cafe and the golden price for a cafe in Marriott

I have been traveling for more than 10 years, I have been many times, but still I have not seen everything I would like to see in Jordan!))) I wear ordinary jeans and a blouse or jacket, on the beach - an ordinary swimsuit. A backpack, a guide book, a camera, a bottle of water and a good mood are all I need in Jordan :)
