If something goes wrong
A wrong emergency number is worse than none, so this page only prints what we can verify against official Jordanian sources. Everything still being confirmed is marked as such.
911 is Jordan's unified emergency number and reaches police, ambulance and civil defence anywhere in the country, including inside the Petra site. Operators in tourist areas generally speak some English. Save it before you travel.
Call 911There is a Tourist Police post at the visitor centre, and officers patrol the main trail in daylight. We are not publishing a direct line until it is confirmed with PDTRA or the Ministry of Tourism — in the meantime call 911 or walk to the visitor-centre post.
Needs confirmation
Wadi Musa has a government health centre and several pharmacies on the main street; the site itself has a first-aid point near the visitor centre. Exact hours and numbers change — ask your hotel reception, who will know what is open tonight.
Needs confirmation
Visit Jordan is the official tourist information service. We link to it rather than quote a helpline number, because the published channels change.
Needs confirmation
Petra has no consular presence; every embassy is in Amman, about three hours away. For a lost passport, start with the embassy site below and the local police report.
