We
are
two
young
women
travellers
and
had
our
worst
experience
of
Jordan
at
this
place.
We
went
to
Tammouz
to
have
Sheesha
and
watch
football.
We
reached
for
10PM
march
and
few
customers
were
around
so
we
felt
comfortable
sitting
in.
The
moment
we
arrived,
the
server
came
in
with
two
bottles
of
water.
We
saw
that
none
of
the
other
tables
had
those
and
had
water
in
a
glass
jar
with
lemon
slices
instead.
We
didn’t
need
water
so
thought
we
will
return
these
later.
We
were
there
only
for
45-50
min
(half
time)
and
many
people
started
to
leave
so
we
decided
to
leave
as
well.
The
Sheesha
was
for
5
JOD
so
we
were
absolutely
shocked
when
we
saw
the
bill
as
it
was
for
13
JOD.
We
inquired
why
and
saw
that
they
had
charged
5
JOD
for
water
and
1.75
JOD
as
World
Cup
tax.
Even
the
restaurants
never
charge
more
than
2
JOD
for
water
here.
We
told
them
that
we
don’t
want
this
water
and
haven’t
even
touched
the
bottles,
and
they
refused
to
take
them
back
saying
that’s
a
‘Jordanian
custom’
and
it’s
for
‘opening
the
table’.
We
have
returned
these
bottles
in
other
restaurants
before
and
they
have
been
really
polite
saying
no
worries
(e.g.
Al
Khal
restaurant
nearby
-
highly
recommended).
It
was
quite
evident
that
they
just
wanted
to
take
advantage
of
us
being
tourists
and
also
young
women,
and
scammed
us
out
of
money
which
was
quite
a
terrible
experience
as
you
don’t
expect
such
things
at
least
in
such
well
established
places.
This
place
only
cares
about
making
money
-
A
MASSIVE
RED
FLAG
particularly
if
you
are
a
tourist.
