WHY US
Our advantages
Around the country which is relatively small we travel by hired car of higher class. The program includes daily walks so that we are closer to the nature. Jordan is quite a developed country and can be damn expensive. And this is where we made big effort to get as much as possible for your money. Hotels are beautiful, clean and on the sea we have a pool where you can enjoy in case that swimming in the sea is not possible. In the north we see all the top sights out of the traditional ways. In Amman we live in the center of the city ant the bazaar is at your fingertips. In the stone village of Dana we live in the stone hotel where the ambient is superb. Here we explore hidden canyon. In the Dead sea we grease ourselves with healing mud which we wash in a river canyon. In the desert of Wadi Rum we made a trek where we see all the top spots of this incredible desert. You can even choose between more or less difficult ways."Athletic-ones" will do more adventurous hike. For the end of our trip we are in Aqaba which is an unforgettable if you do not live in the city. Our hotel is at the Red Sea outside the city. We will go in the city only for the shopping and party.
Hotels on the tour
Accomodation
Our hotels in Jordan are verified. We choose beautiful hotels with authentic and friendly people and good service. We use double and triple rooms with private shower and WC. In the deserte we sleep in nomad tents (million star category). Accommodations are different categories. In essence saying point is that we are in the center of the action. Hotels are centrally located and all the highlights are in a walking distance.
DETAILS
About country
Jordan is a kingdom and an image of King is almost impossible to miss. It is a country of falafel and shisha . When you arrive in the capital city, which really is not anything special but you do not get a sense of what this country offers. Easiest way to view all points of interest is with own transport so we also travel with rented cars. The program is composed in such a way that at the beginning we enyoj culture more we go to the end more we have nature and walking. We finish at the Red Sea in the Bedouin style before going to the airport home.
The official currency is the Jordanian Dinar (JD). One dinar is worth more than the Euro so here is wallet quickly empty. The official language is Arabic, the main religion is Islam. In general country is well developed, the roads are good. The most beautiful in Jordan in spring and autumn.
Visa and vaccination
Visa is required. Vaccinations are not needed.

IMPRESSIONS
Impressions
1. Kako se ti je zdelo potovanje nasploh?Ker nisem imela visokih pričakovanj, moram reči, da mi je bilo všeč in sem s celotnim potovanjem zadovoljna.
2. Kaj ti je ostalo v najlepšem spominu?Petra, Wadi Rum, hoja in plezanje, čeprav me je bilo pred odhodom ravno tega strah, zaradi mojih zdravstvenih težav. A naš jagodni izbor se ni dal! Tudi ekipa je bila v redu, mislim da nismo bili preveč težavni.
3. Je bilo vodenje v redu, kakšno oceno bi dal vodniku (1-5)?Čez Petro in njeno vodenje nimam pripomb, ocena odlično. Hvala za pomoč pri moji nezgodi s potnim listom njej in tudi Gregorju!
4. Zakaj si se odločil oz. odločila za to potovanje?Ker pač ta termin ni bilo druge izbire, sicer bi šla raje v Laos, Kambodžo, Vietnam, ...
5. Koliko denarja si cca porabil/a v Jordaniji?Menjala sem 500 €. Koliko me je to potovanje stalo, pa raje ne bi o tem!
6. Kam bi v prihodnje najraje potoval/-a?Jugovzhodna Azija
7. Bi to potovanje priporočal/-a še komu?Jordanijo priporočam tistim, ki radi hodijo, oziroma imajo za to dovolj kondicije.
Potovanje jaz kot začetnik tovrstnih potovanj težko ocenjujem.
Zame je bilo to čisto nekaj posebnega,saj sem prej hodil samo na tista klasična ala Palma, Kompas, Intelekta in podobno.
Sem pa še danes čisto pod vtisom potovanja,saj je bilo fenomenalno!
Pozdrav ekipi!
Potovanje je bilo fantastično in polno doživetji. Videli smo veliko lepega, najbolj pa so mi ostali v spominu Wadi Mujib, Petra in Wadi Rum. Sam nebi spreminjal ničesar, saj se mi zdi potovanje odlično zastavljano in se v tistih dveh tednih vidi največje bisere Jordanije. Naša vodička Petra je bila super, jo priporočam vsem :) Za potovanje po Jordaniji sem se odločil, ker me Bližnji vzhod že od nekdaj fascinira, potem sem pa na internetu naletel na vaš program pa še cena je bila ugodna. Za celotno potovanje sem porabil 1500 €. Moji top dve destinaciji za v prihodnje sta Egipt in Iran in upam da jih čimprej realiziram. Potovanje priporčam vsem, ki bi radi na popotniški način doživeli Jordanijo, saj je dežela res lepa in v tebi pusti globok pečat.
