Avoid These Scammers at Petra, Jordan 🇯🇴

- Yo guys, the day has finally come. I have visited the world famous Petra - one of the seven world wonders. Even though I started my day pretty early and arrived at about 7:30am it was already packed with people. Right after the entrance a group of Bedouins immediately approach you like parasites and they want to sell horse, donkey or camel rides to either the Treasury or the Monastery. All of them are lying and saying that the ride is included in the ticket price but it is not. Once you agree and take the ride, they ask for an high amount once you arrive. For me personally, this sounds like a scam. The walk to the Treasury is a pretty chilled walk and it takes approximately 30 min. So you can easily do it by yourself. Once arrived at the Treasury, there are two photo spots from above. Both of them are accessible via a little hike. One takes approximately 5 min & the other one approximately 15 min. Also, here you do not need a guide. They are trying to rip the people of by offering a "guided hike" for both spots for sometimes 30 JD (totally outrageous) like in my case. They also say it is mandatory but it is not. Anyway I was in a pretty tricky situation but just watch the video and you will see...Enjoy!

Yo guys, I would really appreciate it if you could subscribe my channel, hit the notification bell and also like the video :)
Any feedback? Feel free to comment :) Much love!
I wouldn't take a free tour from those shameless scammers, or even if they paid me out of principle. Those young scammers should be reported and removed by the authorities, their shady actions will completely sour someone's vacation.
Absolutely 💯 They ruin the whole experience.
@@metevice Imagine this going on in one of the Disney resorts.
Some shady guy pretending to be an employee asks for your tickets to fool you, then scams you into paying for a picture with Mickey, or charge you for going on the rides.
This would never fly in Disney , and it shouldn’t fly at such an amazing place like the pyramids, especially since it’s a once in a lifetime time experience for most people.
The people who run the pyramids have to know what’s going on, and they should get fired if they take bribes to look the other way.
Management should have more respect for their guests, and the sacredness of pyramids.
Sorry for the long rant, it’s just infuriating to think about how many unsuspecting guests get scammed on a daily basis.
And he filmed the famous scammer Bakar in his last video
At least they are EXPOSED here!
I was in Petra ten days ago. Wonderful place with friendly people. You must understand that the locals are trying to make a living and nothing that a smile and “la shükran” would not solve. Bedouins are hospitable and kind people and we had no problem when visiting the place.
Yes the Jordanian people and also the Bedouins are one of the friendliest and welcoming people I’ve ever met. I am talking here about the ones at the Petra (and here also some of them). There are always exceptions.
Yes, they maybe trying to make a living but not at the expense of tourists trying to peacefully experience a wonder of the world. It is a time to look, experience, reflect without being harassed constantly and surrounded by people trying to haggle with you and potentially scam you. Safer to go on a bus tour and be protected by the tour guide.
How they are making a livingby scamming for 40 dollars per person ? Thats almost 4000 USD per 40 person ... which they can make easily in 2 hours. Thats not just " making living" that's a systematic scamming.Tourists already pay high amount of entrance fee to Petra. 60 Dollars is already ridiculously expensive amount for a tourist attraction fee.
I loved it, I always want to see Petra closer. Thank you
🤍
Idk why tourists dont call the police when they are being bullied and harassed
Yeah one should actually
Pushing the tourists to sell them
some services is not a clear crime, and sometimes when you travel abroad you don’t even know where the cops are and what you have to do in order to get or to call them! Furthermore, if the official language of the country you are visiting is arabic and you don’t understand a single word of what 90% of the locals say everything is even more complicated, sometimes also simply trying to explain to the police what’s happened and what’s going on can be really hard if the cops don’t speak a decent english or another language you can understand.
I wouldn’t recommend it, will u call the police and wait next to them? It is very dangerous
You better know locals
.normal people every one will be friendly
Great content bro.. i fly out in 3 weeks, travelling all around jordan, do you recommend hiring a driver or rent a car
Thanks brother 🙏🏽🤍 You can rent a car or drive everywhere with the bus. If you want to go to the Dead Sea, I recommend hiring a driver :)
We are sorry as Jordanians on behalf of people who want to make money for their own benefit and want you to pay more money we are sorry but you should come with a friend from Jordan or take a tour guide with you and welcome to Jordan We were pleased with the video of your visit to us💜💜💜💜
There is a better photo spot to take pictures of the Treasury, higher up and without the many scammers, but you have to be willing to hike. After the tombs of the kings, take a right and then take the many many steps up the mountain. It is so worth it, you can basically see the whole of Petra including the Theater. Then walk further across the mountain. At the end, there is a little hut, the photo spot is inside the hut. The Bedouin there will want around 2,50€ for a freshly squeezed orange juice or water (and you will need the hydration anyways) and lets you take as many pictures as you want. Perfect view of the Treasury, higher up, and the hike there is so worth it. Also, do not skip the monastery, it is breathtaking. Also, I recommend going inside Petra two days in a row. We walked around 26.000 steps each day and still hadn’t seen everything after two days. Do NOT ride the camels or mules up the stairs!!! It is animal abuse.
Thank you 🙏🏽 Next time 😉
That gorge before you reach the Treasury is the most spectacular sight , and you actually missed it, you had to speak with these scammers all the way , you almost sprinted because you were nervous with them following you, the whole experience was ruined because of these idiots. I felt so sorry watching this, just ignore them dude, DO NOT SPEAK with them at all, do not make eye contact, tell them to f..k off, don't be so nice to them!
Nobody told me about this gorge :(
@@metevice ehm…you walked through it. The gorge is the way to the treasury!
I heard there's official guide at entrance that we can hire for 50 JD, any can say this is true????
I don’t know bro but 50 JD is quite a lot
@metevice it sounds better though, if he could guide us around, to all great spots and take photos all around, we'd do it. Compared with haggling from the moment you walk pass entrance, sounds tiring :(
Come to Delaware, I'll give you tour of my town, can walk in front of Joe Biden house ;)
To which country shall I go next?
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Turkey 🇹🇷
@@allnightmike8374 I am coming to turkey in summer :)
Amazing 😊
Thank you 🙏🏽
Oh wow! Thank you for this video, i will make sure not to get scammed.
Yes watch out & safe travels!
The first guy to try and get you to ride a horse, after you said no multiple times he immediately got on his phone. Thought this was interesting as he may be letting someone to watch out for you coming.
Yeah probably bro did not notice this one
It's like paying someone just to tour when it doesn't belong or own the place. Tourist are so ignorant.
Tourist needs to stop going to those countries that doesn't enforced rules
Actually the rest of Jordan is amazing and the people are really friendly. Just around the Petra you have to watch out…
I'm confused. Why do you have to pay those boys to walk through that place if you already paid for your ticket at the entrance?
Yeah true but they are operating there line some kind of gang
I was in Petra yesterday. incredibly cold. mud. and then the journey by car back to Aqaba in the fog that you couldn't see the meter
Crazy! How do you like Jordan so far? :)
@@metevice today in Aqaba sunbathing .so I take enough. I have a train ride booked in Wadi Rum tomorrow
@@radekpedlik7417 Enjoy! Are you planning to go to the dead sea?
@@metevice I'm already at home in the Czech Republic, but I think I'll fly there in the winter to warm my bones. The Dead Sea is still waiting for me
@@radekpedlik7417 you have to experience the Dead Sea. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
Your negotiation blunder getting into the upper part of Petra was weird. I don't think you were clear enough with the price. They seemed to be getting quite mad and blocking your path.
Yes maybe 😕 All in all I made this video to inform other travellers to make the same mistakes :)
Those people are so dishonest.
I hired one of those guys at the entry last week. It was worth it. He took me through the scenic route and got the views from the top of the treasury and up to the high place for $30 dinars. I wouldn’t of seen that through the typical Siq entry everyone sees.
Bro you know that it’s accessible just by yourself right?
They show you the same spots
Very nice 👍 videos
Thanks broski 🫡🤍
@@metevice Do you know any Russian?
@@nikkanikka215 just Добрый день broski 🫡😁
@@metevice wow 🤩супер…
The guy was actually asking him to send you, but the kid refused.
Yes watch out for that little gang over there lol
It's just not worth all this hassle. Your experience is ruined. Go by yourself next time.
True bro 🙏🏽
للاسف على الاردن اذا شاهدو هذه المهزلة من المحتالين المراهقين في البتراء ولن يفعلو شيء. قاطعين الطريق على السائح وعاملين له وجع رأس.
هذا الشيء يؤثر على سمعة السياحة في الاردن. واذا لم يتخذ اجراء بحق هؤلاء المراهقين. سوف تصبح سمعة السياحة في الاردن مثل سمعة السياحة في مصر لان مصر اصبحت سيئة السمعة بسبب تجاهل الحكومة المصرية للمحتالين في الاهرامات و الاقصر و خان الخليلي
It’s really sad since they ruin the whole experience!
@@metevice
Are you translate my comment?
@@user-xz4by4qg3o Yes :)
Egypt and Jordan both ruined by the scammer and terrible people
Those kids are extorsion money, criminals.
Yeppp
But why do you need to entertain those scammers? Just avoid and dont even answer their offers
For educational purposes :)
What’s the point arguing with those idiots? A smart travellers usually will walk away…. They cant do you nothing!

Scammers. Call the police
The police is actually there but they just don’t care…

@@metevice you are welcome man 👋
The famous scammer baker Hamadeen scams tourist daily in his last video 🤮
Why do u feel the need to buy anything there? Just sightseeing
😁
To think of it Jordan is like Morocco or Egypt coz scammers around
In just some touristy areas definitely not so much like Egypt
21:11 you didn't realize that you were going off path? they clearly made a hole in the wall and are selling access to it. You could've spent 15 mins walking up the path instead of arguing with these kids lol.
Yeah you are right noticed it too late…
@@metevice No he's wrong, the steps you see at 21:11 are to a weird cafe cave thing, it's seperate from the viewpoint. You're at the only entrance to the viewpoint from that side, and they block it
@@SmtNThey would have gotten their asses beat, especially the little smoking fucker! 😂😂😂

Shame in you guys . I wish they see my comment.I will writ it in Arabic also . عيب عليكو يا شباب والله عيب
It’s really sad since they ruin the whole vibe!

The police don’t care and tolerate them…

Where is the authority dafaq are these kids its a world wonder wtf
Hahahha
I wonder who got all those scammed money. Clearly not the kids
Yeah maybe there is a bigger operation behind it bro…
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO, YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD ENERGY YOUR VIBRETIONS SIM LOW, FIRST YOU SHOULDN'T SAY YOU ARE FROM GERMANY BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY THEY WILL ASSUME YOU HAVE EURO'S AND YOU SHOULD SAY THAT YOU ARE FROM A POOR COUNTRY LIKE BOLIVIA PARAGUAY ! BUT WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE FROM
U S A OR EUROPEAN THEY WANT TO GET YOUR MONEY NO MATTER WHAT !! .
Thanks for the tip 👍🏽😁
I am Jordanian and if you saw this thing in front of me I will help you and defend you against them Don't trust the Bedouins there don't collect all but the majority of Bedouins are bad I'm sorry for what happened to you there
🙏🏽🤍
I tried doing that with my American friends and the crime boss ( the criminal in charge Petra) brought the police to talk to me and they asked me for my ID. My friends paid 200 JD for 2 adults and 2 kids. That’s absolutely crazy for a dirty filthy smelly place. They need to at least have bathrooms for people to use and clean up the filth ( that includes the subhuman scammers).
I dont know
Where is Eqypt’s government
Why they are not taking any action.
Please dont go to this country and then after 2 or 3 years these people will come on road as they will lose their one and only tourism business.
But this is Jordan brother
@@metevice would have written the same. But in flow i wrote Egypt because i was watching scams in eqypt
@@Mandeepsingh-zr4ov alright 🙏🏽
To much haggling!!!
So muchhhh
But I don’t see they do not to you
They try to charge people money for paths that are accessible for free. They are scamming people.
They don’t do nothing to you

Wow, you did it all wrong. Firstly, keep walking and you'll eventually make it to the top (look at your map), secondly there are alot of other "climber guides" around....you should of walked from these guys immediately. $10D is the standard from all the videos I've seen if you want to pay these guys.
😁
Do not expect a country whose people are dying of starvation from excessive taxes to be tolerant of the stranger who visits them, especially with regard to money.... The tourist comes to Petra without external pressure... Then let him bear the consequences of his visit...
Are you from Jordan?
@Mete Vice
Yes and I'm sorry for what happened for you ... welcome to Jordan ..
@@haithamaljaibachi3434 I had an amazing time in Jordan one of my favorite countries in the Middle East 🇯🇴🤍
No pressure?? Clearly you don't watch the news with regards to the UK.
What a fool you’re
these are not Scammers , they are the origin people of Petra , they want to make tour to visitors to make some money
Yeah but they force tourists to pay for tracks that are free to access
You were filming a famous scammer Bakar Hamadeen in your last video. He scams women and tourist all the time.
😁
How do they scam the women?
Bro you looked week
You think so?
Jordan I was scammed and Harrass in that awful country wasted so much time and money there
Really? I am sorry for your experience :(
