Wadi Rum visitor centre touts in Jordan

Wadi Rum

How it works:

Version 1 (tickets): at the Wadi Rum visitor centre parking lots, touts will offer you tickets for 5 JD. However, these are not real tickets, but mere flyers!
Version 2 (parking): touts claim you need to pay to drive your car to the guest house/restaurant in Rum Village. This is false – there is no fee to drive or to park there.

Places to beware:

What to do:

Only buy tickets for the Protected Area which cost 5 JD per person at the visitor’s centre’s ticket box
