Solo travel experience
I spent several days alone in Jordan and a few days sharing a car with other people because public transportation is not very regular. I felt safe but you need to be aware of the scammers in Petra. I was in Petra for 3 days and it was definitely too much. I think 1 intense day would have been enough. I spent one day in Wadi Rum, sleeping under the stars, and that was the most wonderful.

I went on an 8-day solo tour to Jordan. It was my first solo trip post covid. Jordan is gorgeous and very safe. I saw Petra, Gerash, Amman, Wadi Rum, Mount Nebo, and the Dead Sea and spent a night in the desert with Bedouin people.

I went to Jordan last October for my birthday. So safe. Wadi rum was the most fun, and Petra was amazing. The weather was perfect. Probably the best trip I’ve ever had and I’ve been to many places.

Solo travelHow much money should I convert to Jordanian dinar for food/drink/souvenirs in Petra Jordan?
Approximately how much money did you spend at Petra Jordan for food/drink/souvenirs? I have a tour booked so entrance fees/tip are covered but I'm unsure how much money I should convert to Jordanian dinar as I'll only be in Jordan one day (land crossing from Israel).
