Wadi Rum is a must-go destination for those who go to
Jordan, but to be cheated by those who sold us the holiday is something that we
don't like! The agency proposed a 2-hour trip by jeep in the desert for the
"modest" amount of 33 euro per person. I had studied the guide in
advance and read many reviews of other travelers, so I was aware that at the
visitor center, at the entrance of Wadi Rum, they were proposing the exact same
trip for 35 dinars (about 35 euro) per jeep! And there are 6 people in the jeep...!
In the blink of an eye, I gather the maximum number we need to form a complete
car; of course, when I expose the scam from the agency to my friends, they're
all with me! We reach the first stop and who do we meet? The other members of
the group, unaware of the enormous price that they paid. When Elias, our guide,
sees us getting off from another jeep becomes suddenly pale (becoming pale is
hard for a Jordanian!) But deep inside he is proud/happy for us that we weren’t
tricked like the others... And of course, when everyone got to know the price
we paid, the discontent started... Wake up people, wake up!
