Access Issue: Entrance fee required; you are also supposed to register with the Tourist Police if climbing
Details
As of May 2022, the entry fee to Wadi Rum was 5JD/person. The alternative to paying the entrance fee is to buy a Jordan Pass. If you get the Jordan Pass before you arrive in Jordan, your US visa fee ($56 US) is waived and the Jordan Pass allows access to places like Petra, Shobak Castle, etc.
At the Wadi Rum entrance complex is a Tourism Police office. If you are climbing at Wadi Rum, you are supposed to register with the police and give them a photocopy of your passport. Bringing a spare photocopy to give them saves some time, as they don't have a photocopier of their own.

Description
Goldfinger is a decent route up a small (300-ish foot) pillar in the middle of the imposing east face of Jebel Rum.
Start at the right end of a ledge, about 40 or so feet right of the start of Troubadour, below some easy looking cracks on a less than vertical face.
P1: Start up the cracks then trend up and right along obvious weaknesses to a belay stance below the obvious, varnished crack (5.6, 60m).
P2: Climb the high quality finger/ hand crack in excellent rock to a big ledge (5.10-, 100 feet).
P3: Climb up and left in a leaning corner on sandy and somewhat loose rock to the top of the pillar and an anchor (5.6, 80 feet).
No belays are bolted except the last one.
Do four rappels down the left (Troubadour) side of the pillar.
