Jordan - Level 3: Reconsider Travel (U.S. Department of State advisory)

The U.S. Department of State updated its travel advisory for Jordan (published 2026-05-04) ordering non-emergency U.S. government employees and family members to leave Jordan on March 2, 2026, and raising safety concerns. The advisory cites armed conflict following onset of hostilities between the United States and Iran with an ongoing threat of drone and missile attacks and significant commercial flight disruptions, and highlights an elevated risk of terrorist violence targeting tourist sites, transport hubs, markets, and government buildings.
