    • Beware in Petra, Maan and other place in Jordan, Petrol station attendants are trying very hard to cheat the tourists.
    The master of that is the owner or attendant of Petra petrol station.
    They have several trick in their pocket and the most common is to simulate a break down of the petrol dispenser, start it again but at the end charging you an extra 5 or 10 JOD. Just watch the info on the gas dispenser and the manipulation of the attendant.
    Also, wait as much as needed to get your money back !! Do not leave anything as tip !!!!
    So far, I never get that sort of problem at petrol station in Amman.
