Check out Ruth's website www.jordanjubilee.com

This is becoming a Bible for individual travellers to Jordan. You can find full information on the Nuweiba ferry there as well as on Wadi Rum

If you do not book a guide in advance for Wadi Rum, you are obliged to take the next guide waiting on the rota. The authorities are quite strict about this, and if somebody does take you out of turn he pays a fine.

The hotels often offer to arrange a tour: this is always a ripoff. The hotels charge you (for instance) 25JD and pass 15JD on to a Bedouin guide who gives you a 15JD tour.

If you insist on paying the guide, there's still the same system, he returns 10JD to the hotel or they won't send him anybody else. Obviously the poorer guides lend themselves to this because otherwise they will have fewer tourists.
