Good afternoon, I would like to leave one review for 2 tourists after a trip to the “Great Tour of Great Britain” tour. To be objective, I will list the pros and cons of the trip in a row, and at the end I will draw a small conclusion. Pros: 1) Extensive tour program. 2) A competent guide. 3) An excellent bus was offered. 4) Good work by the managers on this tour. 5) Not late arrivals to the hotel. Excl. The last 2 nights, we always had time to rest. 6) Not bad extras. guides in England, Poland, Bruges. Cons: 1) The most important thing is the complete failure of preparing the trip to Stonehenge. This is a clear miscalculation of the responsible people. I suppose, the managers of the travel agency. (If they are the ones planning the tour, then let them admit the mistake and correct themselves, without shifting the blame to their subordinates). Over the course of a year, changes could and should have been tracked, this is undeniable. This fact was very helpful; the tour was chosen largely due to the presence of one of the main symbols of England - Stonehenge. 2) Drivers. Here, too, I am forced to dwell in more detail. Firstly, in any place, in any town (even the smallest) we drove around the city for 20-30 minutes just like that before disembarking. I can’t believe that there wasn’t an earlier opportunity to disembark passengers, because we simply ended up wasting a lot of time on their endless circles, detours and maneuvers in each town (if you want to know where exactly, I’m ready to answer). Secondly, we definitely got lost on the way to Wales, got lost for about 2 hours at night, and because of them we arrived at the hotel at 2 am very tired. I was driving using the GPS satellite system, and I can confirm and prove all their maneuvers during wanderings. There was a highway nearby, which you had to immediately get out and drive along. Yes, the highway is a bit of a detour, but in the end, having decided to take a shortcut, we simply got lost! Thirdly, they didn’t clean the bus at all, from the first day. Fourthly, we lost our document for the bus at the Poland/Belarus border, after which everyone suffered until the end of the tour. The only plus they have is the fact that they help with loading suitcases onto the bus at the hotels. 3) Very small amount of time offered for extra. fee cities - Bath, Chester, York. This is a very ugly and simple way for the tour organizers to make money. The aftertaste is unpleasant; of these cities, only York is worth attention. We had 50 minutes of free time there. The aftertaste from this “approach to business” is unpleasant and makes you “think.” 4) Also one of the biggest questions specifically for the organizers of the tour, the people who thought it over - the hotel in Belarus. I won’t give any characterization to this Druzhba hotel, I’ll just say – it’s a shame. Add a couple of thousand rubles to the base price of the tour for a normal hotel in Belarus, and don’t embarrass yourself next time. 5) I’ll point out a couple of shortcomings of working guides. Lyudmila – great year. But there are 2 wishes: A) In case of failures, wanderings, delays - openly and immediately inform tourists about the discrepancies, so that people are all aware of what is happening. (not always reported only to a separate group of people close to the guide) B) A knowledgeable, competent, responsive guide, but the information is often presented abruptly, with individual facts from different areas, which is why not as much is stored in the head as one would like would. Guide in England: a competent woman, but she talks a lot and gives a lot of unnecessary information. It's interesting to listen to, but afterwards my head is a complete mess. Conclusion: It is difficult to unequivocally evaluate the tour due to the situation with Stonehenge, the hotel in Belarus and the illiteracy of the drivers because of which there were troubles. It is thanks to these disadvantages that my companion and I rated the tour “satisfactory”

Dear tourists! Please answer the question: were there any difficulties or obstacles in obtaining an English visa? I really want to go on a tour of England, but everyone is scared that I won’t be able to get a visa. Is it true?

Thank you very much for the interesting Vacation tour in London, which took place from 01/01/13. to 01/12/13. Lyudmila Belonogina is a wonderful guide and responsive person! And the drivers Stanislav and Mirek are professionals in their field and you can feel at ease with them on any road! Thank you Balt Tour!

One of the most exciting and interesting countries in the Middle East. It is a safe country for travelers, the people of the country are very friendly and the sun is always shining here.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a predominantly desert country, however, it is home to the warm Red Sea and the healing Dead Sea. This is a country with a thousand-year history, on whose territory there are countless cultural and natural attractions. A unique monument of history and culture is the main “Pearl” of Jordan - Petra. This is an impregnable fortress city, located in a mountainous area and connected to the outside world only by a narrow kilometer-long gorge, over which rocks hang. Numerous temples and tombs, water canals and reservoirs, baths, religious buildings, trading shops, public buildings and paved streets, an amphitheater - all this is carved into the rocks of an unusual pink color.

Nature reserves of Jordan

There are several interesting nature reserves in Jordan that we visit as part of the program. One of them is the Wadi Rum nature reserve. This is a desert, an example of a classic sandy desert landscape with its multi-colored sandstone hills and rocks rising above an almost perfectly smooth red-pink surface. The Dana Nature Preserve is a system of valleys and mountains that descends from the Valley of the Canyons down into the Arabia Valley Desert, from an altitude of 1600 m above sea level. There are trekking routes of any complexity here. Known for its spectacular scenery, Mujib Nature Reserve is located below all nature reserves in the world.

On our trip we will learn a lot of new and interesting things for ourselves, starting from the history of the Kingdom of Jordan and ending with simply interesting facts. Do you know that:

The reigning His Majesty King Abdullah II is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad in the 43rd generation.
The personal security of the dynasty of kings of Jordan is carried out by the Circassians.
it is home to Jordan's largest new flag, mounted on a 132.5 meter high flagpole in Amman, and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest in the world.
Children after divorce remain with their father.

Abdullah II is a king, he studied at Oxford and Georgetown, leads a secular lifestyle; in his free time from ruling the kingdom, he is also a diver, parachutist, pilot, racer and husband of Queen Rania with a top-model appearance. Queen Rania of Jordan is considered one of the most beautiful women on the planet. The king clearly follows the old tradition - like his great-grandfather, grandfather and father, the current ruler of Jordan trusts his personal security only to the Circassians. Once they swore allegiance to the king and, since then, they have not broken their oath.

In general, you can learn a lot of interesting things from our short but compact program. You can “lie down” on the Dead Sea, reading a book, swim in mineral springs, you can climb the 986 steps and see the upper monastery in Petra, you can ride a camel in Petra, or take a breeze through the desert in a jeep. Our tour perfectly combines an active program (trekking) and relaxation at the sea and hot springs. We invite you to travel around Jordan in spring and autumn 2018.

Lyubov Prekina about her adventures in Jordan

Our 8-day trip to Jordan took place over the May holidays. The air temperature these days was approximately 30 degrees, in Petra and Aqaba it was possible to reach 38-40. It was problematic to find out more precisely, because... Jordanians seem to take a more relaxed approach to the issue of heat compared to Muscovites. There were 8 tourists in the group, three of them were children from 5 to 14 years old.

If I can express my impression of the trip in a few words, I can tell everyone - go, you won’t regret it! You can, of course, clarify that the adventure tour to Jordan has its own specifics - this is not a relaxed beach holiday on the European Riviera. It was quite a dynamic and educational trip. The program, scheduled by day, was quite interesting for different ages and accessible to the physical condition of its participants (with a few exceptions for children). If only there was a desire to explore a foreign country in a short period of a week!

While moving around Jordan from north to south, we saw this country in all its diversity. And we can say that every day there was something in front of us: unique, famous, original, world famous, amazing, inimitable... And our journey began, of course, from Amman, spread out on many rocky hills, the streets of which are leisurely, but the life of the capital city is intense, and the preserved flavor of the East and new modern architecture made of glass, concrete and steel are combined. In Amman and its surroundings we visited famous historical sites from the times of the Greco-Roman empires - the Citadel, Jerash, Ajloun. These ancient ruins are quite well known in the world, and almost all travel agencies include them in their excursions.

Main Hot Springs

But the next day we had a visit to the Main springs. Interesting and very pleasant: it’s like an open-air spa - hot hydromassage, mountain sauna and 2-stage bath with warm running mineralized water. The fact is that in this gorge there are natural outlets of hot water from the bowels of the earth. And along one side of the valley there is a thermal and health complex, where Jordanians come with families (there are fewer visitors on weekdays than on weekends). A hot waterfall falls in a powerful stream from a cliff several meters high, under which it is very cool to stand as long as you have the patience, exposing your back for a massage. But if you go beyond this canopy of water, you will find a small cave in the rock with very hot air. And the water flows forward in a small cascade of stepped shallow pools (you can sit on their sides, or sit down and lie down like in a bath). Further, the mountain water flows through a system of hidden diversion channels into the large stream of the gorge.

Ancient city of Petra

The widespread stereotype about ancient Petra is a passage (sic) along a stone winding corridor about a kilometer long, along rock walls several tens of meters high, and the facade of El Kazna carved into the rock. But it turns out that there is a small modern town of Petra, which we arrived in the evening and spent the night in one of its many hotels (of different star ratings). On the remote outskirts of this Petra there is a mountain range and the entrance to that same red stone city - the capital of the Nabatean tribe. If you wish, you can hire a riding horse or donkey accompanied by a driver, or a harnessed carriage. But it is very interesting to walk along the siq. Along its length, the gorge narrows and widens many times. The sandstone from which the vertically steep walls are built has a very beautiful complex color. In some places along the walls you can see preserved gutters of watercourses, and in some places you can see pavement slabs from Roman times; sometimes you can see half-erased bas-reliefs. And now, almost suddenly, a view of the well-known façade with columns, decorated with beautiful stone carvings, opens up. There are a lot of people crowding around - tourists taking photographs, Jordanians trying to make money by trading and driving, with a choice of camels, horses, and donkeys. But this is just a small part of ancient Petra. In general, the city is quite large and branched, it has more than one street and square. We go further, turn the corner and soon emerge (I would say) into the main shopping area. Here you can choose from a variety of different goods for purchases and gifts, relax and have a snack under a canopy in a cafe, and again solve the issue of transport. An interesting point: all these services are provided to tourists by the descendants of the Nabatean tribe. And most of them look quite specific: long black curls under a bandana and eyes heavily lined with kohl (remember what Jack Sparrow looked like from “Pirates of the Caribbean”?).

Go ahead; underfoot there is red sand, stone, tufts of stunted grass. In the distance, in several places, areas with canopies are visible where archaeological work is being carried out. All around there are rocks made of beautiful sandstone in pink-red-burgundy shades with multi-colored striped layers, and the facades of large buildings carved into them - temples, palaces and many niches of different sizes at different levels - tombs or housing. One such large niche in the lower tier is now regularly used by some quick-witted Jordanian to park his Nissan (can be seen from the well-worn track). We reach the ruins of Roman buildings on the edge of a wide valley. Many here end their review of Petra.

Noon. Hot. The sky is clear. But still, we decide to go further into the mountains to the so-called monastery. The potential of your strengths must be adequately assessed before you climb to the top. Children with a guide on donkeys will return back. We had to climb to the top of the mountain by about 1000 carved stone steps. The climb was not too tiring, but it was a little hot. :-). But everything that was seen around was amazing and reminiscent of the colors of Roerich’s paintings. I wanted to photograph every new ledge, turn and changing view from above of the area. We went out to the upper square to the monastery, and it turned out that its facade is very reminiscent of the front view of El Kazna, only it looks more modest. It is also entirely carved into pink rock, has columns and porticoes, but there are fewer carved decorations. Then we make the last push upward - and here it is, the dominant peak in this area.

The wind blows the national flag of Jordan, and a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain range with peaks, ridges and gorges opens up in all directions. This is a must see! There was also a traditional Bedouin tent, in the shade of which we happily settled down to rest on pillows laid out on the floor covered with worn carpets. And the owner, about 45 years old, with the appearance of Jack Sparrow, treated us to hot sweet tea with herbs from a special silver thermos teapot. It would seem terrible to drink hot tea in the heat, and sweet tea at that (but I wanted to drink clean cold water). But, oddly enough, it went very well! another cup, and another... We exchanged a few phrases in English with the owner. And then he picked up a musical instrument with several strings and sang to us two drawn-out lyrical songs. The performance was expressive and quite enjoyable. Having thanked the friendly Bedouin and said goodbye to him, we went back, again photographing the red-stone delights of Petra in all directions.

Dana National Forest

And now a few words about the trip to the Dana National Forest. We arrived at a small dilapidated village located on the edge of the reserve. Apparently, it once flourished, there were many houses and residents who were engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding. But even now there are several hotels (guest houses) here to receive tourists, where they will not only provide you with a room with a canopy over the bed or a tent-tent, but also delicious food and treat you to national tea on the terrace. The reserve office is also located not far from the village. An amazing picture opened when, leaving the edge of the village, we saw the receding perspective of this green corner of Jordan. It seemed to me that Dana, with its outlines, vaguely resembles the famous Grand Canyon in America, familiar from television programs (well, maybe I’m wrong in this comparison). Plateaus, rocks, cliffs, gorges - their alternation runs along the main valley on the left and right sides, and somewhere in the distance this whole system is lost in the haze. And all around you is beauty, silence, chirping birds and a special, interesting set of vegetation types from grass to trees.

Wadi Rum Desert

It’s not easy to talk briefly about the Wadi Rum desert. It is not at all similar to the generally familiar flat, boring desert with endless dunes of sand stretching beyond the horizon. Of course, there is plenty of sand here too! (by the way, a very beautiful bright elegant red-red color). And there is practically no natural vegetation there, except for the occasional dry twigs of stunted saxaul. But still it is a stone desert. We arrived at the checkpoint late in the evening. From our comfortable bus we transferred to open jeeps and drove with the breeze along the rolled dirt road, and somewhere right along the sand, deep into the desert. Ridges of bare dark rocks with sheer walls tens of meters high stretched along our path. Our drivers slowed down near one rock. It turned out that on her wall there were scratched primitive drawings - men, animals, writing. Whose?.. Having driven a little more, we found ourselves in a Bedouin camp: a large canvas canopy-tent, fixed at the foot of a high mountain, as if stuck to it with its back, hiding from the possible wind. Treat yourself to traditional Bedouin sweet tea with herbs. Of course, you could immediately make purchases of some specific Jordanian goods. Then we get back into the jeeps and drive on. Having arrived at a relatively free space, we suddenly see the setting sun directly ahead - a pale, almost white, but very bright disk, which quite quickly set behind a distant mountain range. And dusk began to deepen over us. We arrived at the campsite for the night in complete darkness. We were accommodated in adobe houses for 2 persons, with beds, a fan and a bathroom with a shower! There was another option for spending the night there - in a tent, but this was without a shower. But it turned out that there was a swimming pool on the campsite. And when I got up early in the morning to see the sunrise, I was convinced that the desert sun was really white.

Port city of Aqaba

After breakfast we took our bus to Aqaba. A port city on the Red Sea, a free economic zone, that is, a working business center. And at the same time, it is a resort city. It would seem that these are mutually exclusive directions, especially since both lead to the same water, more precisely to the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba. But when we went out to the beach of one 5* hotel, we saw the clearest water in which both multilingual tourists and Jordanians with young children were swimming. Beautiful, comfortable 5-star hotels are located in a continuous chain along the coast, dividing the beach into pieces among themselves. A public beach is located on the outskirts of the city. The water in the bay seemed quite cool to me, although the heat that day was not a joke (later in the evening at about 20 o’clock on the street of Aqaba we came across an electronic board that showed 36-37 degrees). The swimming area is limited by booms for safety reasons. Pleasure boats floated behind their line, jet skis and pleasure boats rushed by at high speed. Even further away one could see serious ships. And in the haze the opposite foreign shore could be discerned.

For dinner we went to a small restaurant on one of the side streets. It was recommended to us by our fish guide. And for good reason! Oh, what a fish it was... and there was a whole bowl of salad - the portions were huge, could easily be divided between two. Locally produced beer, for those interested, tastes very good. Then we walked around the city, there is a lot of greenery, flowers, and fountains. We looked into several retail shops: food, clothing, souvenirs, various jewelry, as well as cosmetics made from natural products of the Dead Sea.

Dead Sea

Early in the morning we left Aqaba in the opposite direction. Passing the customs post (control of exports from the free economic zone), our Vahid only slowed down and exchanged greetings with the customs officers. Why stop us? “Russian tourist, face of morality.”

Well, everyone seems to know everything about the Dead Sea. It's difficult to add anything here. The water is warm, and not only salty, it is also oily, which seemed to me not very pleasant to the touch, although you quickly stop paying attention to it. You can lie on the water and read the newspaper. But sometimes it can be difficult to concentrate and find balance on your back. At such moments, some kind of physical force turns you over like a float onto your stomach, forcing you to flounder funny. But it’s funny to just look at it from the outside, but at this time you yourself need to be on guard so that the splashes don’t get into your eyes and don’t drink too much.

You can smear yourself with black mud as much as you want; special containers with it are freely available on the beach. There are also several shower sections installed here to rinse off the salt water after bathing, as... The sun quickly dries the skin and it begins to tingle from the salt. The opposite mountainous Israeli coast is visible vaguely, as if in a haze. The Jordanian coast is actively being built up with comfortable hotels.

Mujib National Reserve

But our most unforgettable impressions were from our trip to the Mujib Nature Reserve. There we did “rafting on foot” through a mountain gorge where a mountain stream with warm water flows. Sorry for this name, but I can’t define otherwise that passage first up and then down the water on foot through the rapids. And to complete this route requires some physical strength. Therefore, children were not taken here. When we arrived at a certain place, we saw cars parked ahead of us, further away - small office buildings and lifeguard stations, changing cabins. We were warned in advance that there would be a lot of water, or rather a lot, possibly over our heads and in the conditions of rocks. This meant that you needed to have your hands free, and not take any unnecessary items with you (glasses, cameras, etc.). There is only one option for small items - a waterproof box or a hard shoulder case. Having put on life jackets, we go forward to a very high mountain range with vertical walls. Here we see the mouth of a river flowing a little further into the Dead Sea. We go up first along the dry sides, then the river fills the entire width of the mountain corridor, shallowly, ankle-deep. But, as you know, further - more, gradually the water becomes knee-deep. We are not alone in the gorge. A full international crowd gathered here, wanting to experience the thrill. The walls along the entire length of the gorge are vertical and very high (100 m?), in appearance similar to that beautiful pink-burgundy sandstone with stripes of other shades and colors, like in the Petra mountains. High above your head you can see a compressed strip of blue sky. And underfoot, among the current, there are more and more huge stones that create obstacles on the way. My shorts have already become wet. Overcoming the force of oncoming water, we climb through one threshold, then another. And then everything turned out to be completely serious... I don’t want to describe our further adventure in more detail. We must leave you something uncertain for a future trip, for the sake of which you will decide to go and personally see, go through and experience everything for yourself. To say later: “I know this. I was there".

P.S. Briefly about miscellaneous things

Jordanians are not fussy in their outward appearances and value respectful treatment.
In Jordan, they like to install antennas on the roofs of houses in the shape of the Eiffel Tower.
Despite the fact that Jordan is an Islamic country, they are not only patient with other faiths, but Jordanians also celebrate Easter with us according to the Orthodox calendar, and Christmas with Catholics.
Jordanians love big cars (well, just like most of us in Moscow).
The roads in Jordan are very good, especially the main highways, but some sections of them are tolled (although in small old towns it happens that the quality is far from good).
There are no traffic jams on the highways, but in Amman during rush hours in the mornings and evenings the situation can be very dense.
In stores you can sometimes find salespeople who understand or even speak Russian.
Jordan has its own guest workers from Egypt, Iraq, Yemen and other Arab countries.
Jordanian women bathe fully clothed (in tracksuits with long shirts).
On weekends, Amman residents like to go out of town with their families for a picnic or visit.
There are quite a lot of our compatriots in Jordan, especially Ukrainians and Russians who got married here.
Our flight was made on an A-320 aircraft operated by Royal Jordanian together with airline S7 from Domodedovo airport: smooth check-in, departure on time, food and drinks without complaints, individual multi-systems in the seats *music-games-movies* with issued headphones, soft landing, which is what I wish for you.
