    • In Jordan I more than once got the feeling that I was being taken for the stupid tourist with a lot of money. E.g.:
    - Paying about $4,- to get a 2 minute look in a mosk in Amman.
    - Paying $4,- for a sandwhich while on tour with a guide, and paying $ 0,20 for the same sandwhich while ordering for myself.
    - Paying $6,- for a beer at an 'authentic' nomad family in the Wadi Rum desert. We were being welcomed by a bagpipe and a nomad and camel made out of paper !! It felt like I was at the Monthy Phyton set. Btw, since we refused to buy beer the price dropped to $3,-
    - Paying extra money to see the famous arch in Wadi Rum.
