Wadi Rum and Petra are picturesque places, but lurking under the veneer there are sexual predators looking to take advantage of solo female travelers.
Petra, one of the world’s premier sites, is generally a safe place to visit. Unfortunately, visitors are getting scammed by shifty coachmen and their expensive horse rides.
