Local Tips
Carry cash, as ATMs are limited. Public transport is sparse, consider hiring a taxi for local travel. Local shops close early, so plan meals and shopping in advance.

Safety Warnings
Generally safe, but avoid walking alone at night and watch for unmarked roads near remote archaeological sites. No major scams, but always agree on taxi fares in advance.
Hidden Gems
Don't miss the ancient sugar mill ruins and small oasis spring near Al-Ghor. Ask locals about less-known hiking paths with panoramic Dead Sea views.
