Petra camel ride scam in Jordan

How it works:

• Opening: camel riders at Petra will tell you that they can take you up to the Monastery. However, fact is camels cannot go to the Monastery, only donkeys can.
• Set-up: once you reach the mountain base leading to the Monastery, you will be asked to pay an additional amount for a donkey ride up from their “cousins”.

Places to beware:

• Petra

What to do:

• Don’t fall for the lies.
