In July 2009, six Breslov Hasidim were deported after attempting to enter Jordan in order to visit the tomb of Aaron / Sheikh Harun on Mount Hor, near Petra, because of an alert from the Ministry of Tourism. The group had taken a ferry from Sinai, Egypt because it understood that Jordanian authorities were making it hard for visible Jews to enter their country from Israel. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is aware of the issue.
