💡 To Tip or Not to Tip in Jordan?💸

When exploring the beauty of Jordan, it's essential to understand the local tipping culture. Tipping is not just a gesture of appreciation; it's vital to support the hardworking local staff who often rely on these gratuities for their income. Here's a quick guide on when and where you should consider tipping in Jordan:

🏨 Tipping at Hotels in Jordan: While some hotels include a service charge, consider tipping $1-2 when a staff member assists with your luggage. Room cleaners often go the extra mile, so leaving a tip in your room at the end of your stay is a thoughtful gesture.

🍽 Tipping at Jordanian Restaurants: If a service charge isn't included, a 5-10% tip is appreciated. Keep in mind that many larger restaurants automatically add a 10% service charge.

🚖 Tipping Drivers: For taxi rides, rounding up to the nearest whole figure is customary. If you've hired a private driver for the day, tipping might have been factored into your agreement, but an extra tip for exceptional service is always welcomed.

🌄 Tipping Tour Guides in Jordan: Tour guides at popular sites like Petra or in Wadi Rum deserve a small tip for their expertise. Private tour guides often include a service charge in their fee.

💆‍♂️ Tipping in Spas in Jordan: Spa tipping is more at your discretion. If you're pleased with the service at the high-quality spas around the Dead Sea, consider tipping between 5-10 JOD, and give it directly to the worker who provided the service.

🚤 No Need to Tip on Organized Excursions: On organized excursions like boat rides, tipping is generally not expected.

By tipping appropriately, you're not only showing gratitude but also contributing to the local economy and the well-being of the hardworking people of Jordan. Enjoy your journey and remember the tipping etiquette! 🇯🇴💫

🏞️ **The High Place of Sacrifice in Petra: A Glimpse into Ancient History** 🏛️

Nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage site of Petra, the High Place of Sacrifice, or al-Madhbah in Arabic, sits majestically atop Jebel Madbah Mountain. This elevated site, at 170 meters above ground, bears witness to a rich history, primarily associated with the sacrifice of animals to the Nabatean God Dushara. Beyond its historical significance, this high ridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ancient city of Petra.

📍 **Location**: Situated just under three hours from Amman, the High Place of Sacrifice is conveniently located near Petra's theatre and the Street of Facades, with clear signs guiding the way. The path leading to this sacred site feels like a short hike, winding through colorful rocks and the ravine of Wadi al-Mahfur via built-in steps. You can choose to descend either via the same path or along the western cliff, passing through Wadi Farasa.

📜 **History**: While historians confirm animal sacrifices occurred at the High Place of Sacrifice, there remains some speculation regarding other ceremonies on this 15-meter long platform. It is believed that libations and the burning of frankincense were part of the rituals held here. Some even suggest that human sacrifices, including children, may have taken place during this period. The ridge features drains connected to water channels, believed to have been used for blood drainage.

👀 **Sights to Behold**: From the pinnacle of the High Place of Sacrifice, visitors are treated to breathtaking vistas across Petra, with views extending to the tomb of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and other city mountains. The theatre and Outer Siq tombs lie directly below the platform. En route down the Wadi Farasa path, you'll come across remnants of the original Crusader walls and a Lion Monument, possibly used as a water fountain. The journey continues past the Garden Triclinium, Roman Soldier Tomb, Renaissance Tomb, Zantur Hill, and Amud Faraoun before reconnecting with the main paths.

🚶‍♂️ **Visiting the High Place of Sacrifice**: Entrance to this historic site is included in the Petra ticket price. Visitors ascend the signposted stairs to reach the ridge, a journey typically taking around 40 minutes. Facilities like toilets and snack stalls are available at the start of the route. For the descent, consider taking the popular Wadi Farasa route, which encompasses several significant religious sites and tombs.

Summiting the High Place of Sacrifice is a feat that rewards you with remarkable views and a deep connection to Petra's ancient past. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this unique and historically significant architectural wonder. 🏔️🌄
