    Important: Please note that professional cameras, such as those with big zoom lenses, drones of any kind and tripods of any kind are not allowed in Jordan. Bringing these objects into the country can cause delays at the airport so please leave these items at home.

    Accommodation at the hotels is as indicated. In the event of any changes to accommodation, they will always be of the same or a higher category. The category of hotels is not standardized across all countries in the world. For this reason, the criteria may differ depending on the destination country's own standards.

    Due to adverse weather conditions and/or for safety reasons and/or need to the smoothness of the trip run by our group partner, the order and duration of the excursions included in the itinerary are subject to changes and/or cancellations without notice.

    Please note: there are no triple rooms in Jordan hotels and the extra bed are fold-out style, smaller in size than a standard single bed. Triple rooms are not bigger or more spacious because they are occupied by 3 people.

    For a three-person occupancy, the only option would be to have one double bed or two single beds and a rollaway or sofa bed. This option is only available under request through our call center.
