I was in Amman a number of years ago. It wasn't the most pleasant for ambling, but I dug the Roman history, the friendly locals, and the food (save for the humdrum mansaf). Petra was a roughly 3.5 hour minivan ride away; indeed, that was worth the death-defying journey.
Lately, I've been interested to revisit Amman, if only due an episode of Ainsley Harriott's (British singer/chef) travel-food show.

Jordan is very safe. I've been there 6 times now and in all have rented a car and driven myself except the first time with a guide. Drove through towns in the middle of absolute no where and never had an issue.
