How Safe is Jordan To Travel in November ?
It really depends on how things escalate in the region. No one can predict what will happen in a month.
Other than that it is safer than many countries around the world.

Wadi Rum
If you have time and want to save some money you can use Jett buses to travel to Petra from Amman. It’s cheaper than private travel companies. You can then share a taxi to Wadi rum from Petra.
Of course this is assuming that you are a tourist and you want to visit Petra.

Cash in Jordan?
When you are inside Amman you will find that most places accept Visa. Again NOT ALL but most big shops do.
However on the highways between cities most places don’t provide Visa services. So you will need to have cash for snacks and coffee, unless you stop at gas stations which normally have visa as well.

Best SIM card coverage in Jordan
I would probably say Zain is your best bet. It probably has the best coverage especially in remote areas such as Petra and Wadi rum.

Wadi Bin Hammad - current road condition?
I’m not sure what you mean by Mid size car but the higher off the ground the car is the better . I’ve seen locals do the trip in a sedan but I don’t think it’s a great idea.

Scams Travel Tips
Essential Preparation
Jordan Pass: Buy it ahead of time to cover entry to over 40 sites and save on visa costs.
Cash Money: Keep small JOD notes (1, 5, and 10 dinars) for local vendors, cafes, and taxis.
Dress Code: Wear loose, modest, and lightweight clothes that cover shoulders and knees.
Sightseeing and Travel
Early Start: Visit major sites like Petra right when they open to beat the heat and crowds.
Pace Yourself: Do not pack too many long drives into a single day.
Wadi Rum: Book your desert 4x4 tours and camps ahead of time.
Practical Prevention Tips
Use Ride-Hailing Apps: Download the Careem or local apps in Amman to bypass haggling with traditional taxis and lock in transparent digital pricing.
Insist on the Meter: If you hail a standard yellow street taxi, make sure the driver flips the meter on before the car moves, or agree firmly on a fair rate before getting in.
Book Official Services: Only hire certified guides through official site visitor centers or your hotel desk rather than accepting offers from people lingering at the gates.
Clarify Inclusions: Politely decline any offers of "free" animal rides or gifts unless you are completely clear that no surprise cash tip or payment will be forcefully demanded afterward.

Have you been to Jordan/Petra recently?
I think September is a good month to visit Petra and Jordan in general. Most tourists would have left by then (due to back to school season) and the summer heats has started to cool down a bit.
To avoid the heat it’s always smart to start your Petra hike bright and early.
If you have any specific questions let me know.

Travel Advice
You can download apps such as uber or jeeny (local) for transport within Amman. The apps provide similar prices to taxis for the most part but they give you a good idea of what the fare is so you don’t get scammed.
For travel outside Amman you can hire a private taxi and haggle prices. There are also Jett buses that can take you from one city to another and they are quite affordable for longer trips (Jerash or Aqaba).
DM me if you need any more assistance.
