Jewish traveller in Jordan – advice/precautions?

I’m going to Jordan in a few days. I’m staying in hostels, so shared dorms. I had a bad experiences doing the kiddush when spending shabbos in a hostel in Athens, nothing major but just kind of reminded me that it’s not always a great idea to be actively Jewish around people you just met.

I know Jordan is a big tourist destination for Israelis so does anyone have experiences with antisemitism in Jordan? If you have been, would you feel safe to wear tallis if going back again? I don’t wear tallis but I do say the shema every day and modeh ani/yadayim if I remember so I’m trying to gauge the extent to which I can do this openly in the dorm.

Thanks.
