We decided on short notice for a short holiday in Jordan. The plan was to leave the luggage in the hotel, travel around, and come back in the hotel the end of the period. But it turned out quite different.......
In the night we flew from Budapest to Aqaba and in the morning we discovered from the roof of the hotel we were close to Eilat in Israel and Taba in Egypt. It was hot, with a strong hot wind, hardly cooling us.
We discovered that almost all tourists came from Hungary; in most shops a note in Hungarian welcomed Hungarian patrons. It appeared that after 9-11 almost all foreign visitors stayed away. Only 9 full aircraft per week with Hungarians were the tourists.
The plan was to see at first the Wadi Rum and Petra. Initially we intended to go on adventure ourselves, with backpack and public transport, but Wadi Rum was impossible without a Bedouin guide and a four-wheel transport. Still yawning due to lack of sleep as a result of the night flight we booked directly a trip to Wadi Rum with a Bedouin in a four wheel, including spending the night in the desert. Back to the Top
