The new instructions published in the Official Gazette require schools to take into account weather conditions before scheduling school trips.

The instructions forbade trips to flood streams, water pools, valleys, slopes, and dams, such as Wadi Mujib Dam, Wadi Shueib, King Talal Dam, Zarqa-Ma’een Dam, the Dead Sea, Al-Aghwar as well as forbidding any adventure and exploration trips.

The instructions called for a doctor or a nurse to escort each school trip, if possible. In addition to requiring vehicles to install tracking devices, front and rear cameras, in addition to a video recording and archiving unit, if possible.
