The most common inconveniences at Petra and other sites come from unofficial 'guides', persistent touts and set-price offers that inflate the moment you accept. Taxi fares and 'lets go for a drive' invitations need polite firmness, and entrance tickets should come only from official counters, the Jordan Pass or licensed guides.
Agree prices before you start and keep kindness with boundaries. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan bypass most of this hassle on the road, and full package tours to Jordan arrange official entrance and guiding.
