Jordan isn’t the war-torn, inhospitable country most people imagine. It is a land of beauty and tradition with friendly people who welcome you with open arms!
But as with every country, there are some things you shouldn’t do.
Here are 10 Things NOT To Do in Jordan!

1. Don’t Ride the Camels
Yes, it may seem like fun but its actually hard work. You’ll be nearly thrown off when it gets up, and when it kneels down and on the ride you’ll be behind another camel watching how it farts, pees and poos.

2. Don't Be Late Whilst Visiting Petra
Petra is a big tourist spot. If you want to explore the ancient city and visit the treasury, the royal tombs, and the monastery without the crowds, arrive before opening time.

3. Don’t Forget to Get The Jordan Pass Before You Arrive!
A standard tourist visa costs $56, entry into Petra costs $71. As long as you’re planning on staying at least 3 nights, the Jordan Pass includes all this as well as entrance to other attractions for $99!

4. Don’t Go To “Petra by Night”
This is more of a tourist gimmick than a sight worth seeing, it costs $24 and consists of an underwhelming traditional music performance and an equally disappointing illumination of the treasury. It's better to spend your money at “The cave bar” which claims to be the oldest bar in the world.

5. Don’t Think They Hate You!
Jordan relies on tourism and welcomes tourists. They are hospitable and want you to enjoy your stay. There has been a lot of scaremongering due to Jordan’s neighbors Iraq and Syria but that’s like saying Beverly hills is full of crime because its close to Skid Row.

6. Don’t Pay to Float in the Dead Sea
There are several places on the coast offering showers, hotel facilities, and food but if you follow the coast further south there are places where you can float for free.

7. Don’t Try Diving in the Dead Sea
Not only is it impossible due to its buoyancy, but it’s 34% salt content will make your eyes and nose sting. Also don’t swim if your freshly shaven or have cuts or scratches.

8. Don’t Offend the Locals
Every culture has certain religious do’s and don’ts here are some quick ones
Don’t point the soles of your feet at anyone
Don’t walk in front of someone who's praying
And Don’t interrupt someone who's praying

9. Don’t Refuse Coffee or Food
In general, it’s best not to refuse an offering. As a people, they are very hospitable and take pride in offering too much food and drink so they may take offense if you refuse.

10. Don’t Worry About Your Clothes
They are not as conservative as you think, many wear jeans and t-shirts. Just don’t dress too provocatively and keep your elbows and knees covered!
