Petra & Wadi Musa Practical information

Money & costs

Money

There are surprisingly few moneychangers in Wadi Musa, although many hotels will change money, albeit at a poor rate. It's generally better to change travellers cheques before you come to Petra.

The Housing Bank and Jordan Islamic Bank up from the Shaheed roundabout are good for money-changing; both have ATMs. The Arab Bank is down from the roundabout. Closer to the gate into Petra, the Arab Jordan Investment Bank, and the Cairo-Amman Bank in the Mövenpick Hotel, change cash and (usually) travellers cheques with a minimum of fuss. The banks are open from about 8am to 2pm, Sunday to Thursday and (sometimes) 9am to 11am on Friday. A couple of moneychangers near the Silk Rd Hotel keep longer hours.
