    • Anyone operating any business inside Petra, be it an animal service, restaurant, or souvenir stand is NOT a bedouin. They are really from a small tribe called the "bdool" which I am told has gypsy roots. The gypsy connection makes a lot of sense to me as mothers constantly would push their 3 or 4 year old children to sell postcards to any tourist in view for 1 JD. That and the fact that everyone wants to sell you jewelry everywhere you go, but could almost not care less about you. Bedouin have more dignity and honor than to push their children to make them money or to be so concerned about making it.

    • Becoming dehydrated while roaming Petra is a very real danger. During the day you should be drinking several liters of water, at least 3 and up to 5 if you are there all day. 1.5 liter bottles of water can be purchased inside or outside Petra for 2 JD.

    Techincally, you can gauge how hydrated you are by your pee. If it's consistently clear you are okay. If it is cloudy and darker...drink more water!
