bee-ess Posted August 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We are docked in Aqaba for 1 day and will just be doing the ships tour to Petra - do you think we will need any local currency or can we mange with US$ for incidentals, water etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted August 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2012 For those incidentals at tourist places such as Petra or Wadi Rum or Dead Sea, and most places in Aqaba too, USD or euros (or GBP) will do fine. This includes coins of €1 & £1 upwards. Take plenty of singles, to improve your bartering power. JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You can use USA or Euros as noted. You would have needed local currency for admission to Petra but since you are on a tout that will not be an issue. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted August 19, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just want to add that I have been to the Lost City Of Petra two times and want to go back for a third time. It is one of the most amazing historical sites I have ever visited. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take small denominations of US$ & you will have no problem. Preferrably do not change money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
