Is it true that Americans are unwelcome in Jordan? I have read warnings on both the UK and US government sites that refer to hostility to towards Americans because of the Iraq war and support of Israel. I always saw Jordan as a moderate, secular kind of place, and very safe for foreigners. Is it ok for Americans there?

Jordan is a very, very safe country and welcomes everyone including Americans. In fact there are a lot of sites that USAid have contributed or sponsor - so please don't be nervous. Forget the travel warnings!!!!! Jordan and Israel have friendly relations and agreements between each other. Jordanians are freindly and very hospitable and will be happy to assist you in any way. But - Jordan is an Arabic/Islamic country so behave in a respectful way and dress modestly and you will enjoy yourself.
