SECTION XIX — Embassy / Consular Guidance
Before travel, check your country's official foreign ministry or embassy website for emergency assistance information.
Scam Patterns
- accommodation scam. A high‑severity scam involves fake or misrepresented accommodation listings that collect deposits but provide substandard or non‑existent rooms. This was the only scam rated as high severity in the Amman safety data. Tip: Book through trusted platforms and verify the property with recent reviews or direct contact.
- taxi overcharging. Visitors report that some taxi drivers in Amman do not use meters and charge inflated fares, especially for rides from the airport or popular tourist spots. The practice is common enough to be listed among the top documented scams. Tip: Insist on a metered taxi or agree on a price before starting the journey.
- unofficial guide fees. Unofficial guides at major attractions such as Petra charge tourists high fees for services that are either unavailable or overpriced. These guides are not licensed and often target travelers seeking convenient tours. Tip: Use only officially accredited guides or arrange tours through reputable agencies.
SECTION XXI — Digital Security
- Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi.
- Enable 2FA on email, banking, and travel accounts.
- Back up document scans to a private cloud and a paper copy stored separately.
- Avoid unknown USB ports and charging stations.
- Keep automatic OS updates on; enable remote-wipe on your phone.
SECTION XXII — Money Safety
- Carry a backup payment card stored separately from your wallet.
- Use bank-lobby ATMs in daylight; cover the keypad.
- Keep a small amount of local cash for emergencies.
- Watch for skimmers and shoulder-surfers around ATMs and payment terminals.
- Use card-tap for transit and payments where possible to limit card-present exposure.
