How long does it take to get a visa to Jordan? Introduction to road trip, Jordan

Jordan has different landscapes. People who may not understand think that Jordan is not suitable for traveling because there is no place to play, but it is not. Jordan has its own unique charm and is not a place not worth visiting.

visa

Jordan can go to landing visa. If the road enters from Israel, only the North-South Pass can go to landing visa. A Jerusalem pass requires a Jordanian pass 3. Besides, this pass is only open until 12 noon.

I bought a Jordan Pass, which was divided into $7,75,8, but my days in Petra were unique. I chose 75, and I can stay in Petra for two whole days. The purchase is very simple, the page is in Chinese, and seconds pass after the payment is successful.

Turkish visa, e-sign, is also one second after the successful payment, valid for half a year from the date of application, and one entry.

Israel needs a visa, and the materials prepared are similar to those of Schengen. For round-trip air tickets that need to be confirmed, if you have an American visa, a Schengen visa, or a Beijing hukou, you don't need to provide proof of assets. Please refer to the website for details. It will be out in five days.

Air tickets

Compared with domestic flights to Europe, domestic flights to Israel and Jordan are quite expensive. The flights found out at that time were basically 67, oceans. Unwilling to do so, I searched the combination of various dates and found a cheap ticket of Turkish Airlines. Amman entered Tel Aviv and Istanbul took off more than 5, times. In fact, the situation in the Middle East has been unstable recently. I really don't want to fly on Turkish Airlines. But, because it's cheap, I'll fight for it. Moreover, the relationship between Russia and Turkey has been so good recently, so it should not happen that Russia retaliates against Turkey. Turkish Airlines belongs to the Star Alliance and can earn Air China points.

the hotel

booked the tickets all the way. At that time, all reservations could be refunded for fear of visa delay, but the price was 12 yuan higher than that of non-refundable ones. Because I had to pay the visa first, I didn't choose anything carefully except the tent hotel in Wadi Ram when I booked it. Later, I got a visa and found that the hotel I booked casually was not bad. Now it is expensive to book a hotel again, so except Haifa.

because I have lived in Jerusalem for a long time, I originally wanted to change to bnb. But there is almost no bnb in the old city. It seems more comfortable for me to stay in a hotel alone. And I can walk less every day, and it's convenient to go back and change the lens or something. So, I still leave the hotel in the old city.

From the hotel reservation, we can find that the consumption in Jordan is not high, which is basically around 4. Just stay in a reasonable hotel. Moreover, the consumption in Israel is on the high side, and there are basically 1 hotels worthy of attention.

renting a car

Jordan and Israel cannot return cars from other countries. So they can only rent a section in Jordan and a section in Israel. The price is not expensive, the smallest car averages more than 3 days, which is simply the price of cabbage compared with South America. Now that I have the bottom of South America, I think everything is cheap.

it's completely done by renting a car. Anyway, I only recognize overseas car rental now. When I went to Europe last year, I rented a car from a rented car, which was originally an all-insurance car, but the damn car rental company bullied me into not speaking English and sold me an all-insurance copy, more than 1 euros, even though I still didn't pay it back. I am ashamed to say that we know it is unreasonable, but you agreed to buy it yourself. What is the reason? Do I know that killing people is illegal, but you agree to let me kill you, so I don't have to bear legal responsibility? Fortunately, I have a big heart and I am not in the mood to travel because of this. However, after returning to China, I complained about the money for renting a car. From then on, as long as I rent a car overseas, I will choose to rent a car, because I think renting a car is a conscientious enterprise and a company that protects the interests of customers, unlike some growing companies, such as reservation companies, such as airline tickets. It's always hello when there's no problem. Hello. Once there is a problem, the first thing that comes to mind is to accept it, pass the buck, and finally simply ignore it. Again, no matter how old you are or how monopolized you are, customers will always be your god. There is no shortage of hotels, airlines, car rental companies, platforms and customers in this world. I hope that renting a car can carry forward this tradition of respecting customers and not become a hooligan because the company is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition to the above reasons, I always choose to rent a car because:

1. They are all in Chinese, and the conditions are clearly written. Especially suitable for people like me who can't speak English, let alone people who can't understand foreign car rental contracts. In fact, even if your English is good, I believe you may not understand all the trap clauses in the car rental contract.

2. If something goes wrong, there is a place to complain;

you don't need to pay in advance. Basically, you can cancel the car for free within 24 hours before using the car; Even if there is a deposit, it will be returned soon;

4. Super full insurance for renting and renting a car is economical and practical, with tens of dollars a day. It is convenient to keep all kinds of documents after the accident and come back to claim compensation.

GPS

Now many professional GPS don't have a map of the Middle East. They can only be googlemap. It's enough to wander around the city without driving. Fan the wall before you leave, cache the map, save traffic, even if there is no signal.

calling card

I plan to buy a local card locally. Please wait for me to buy a supplement. Telephone cards are sold at Jordan airport. I bought a cheap umniah, 1 dinars, equivalent to RMB 1, with a capacity of 6G, and many calls and so on. Except that there is no signal in the desert, the signal is too good to be believed, and there is also a signal in Eilat, Israel. Although Jordan is poor, its network construction is good. Many developed countries have no signal when they leave the town, and Jordan basically covers it.

currency bank card

ATMs with UnionPay logo at Jordan Airport can be used for cash withdrawal, and a handling fee of 5 dinars is charged for 25 Jordanian dinars. The exchange rate of Jordanian dinar is relatively high, about 1:1 with RMB. UnionPay cards in Jordan are very common, but some places don't know why they can't be swiped. Just use visa instead.

other

headlights: I plan to shoot the starry sky this time because I want to live in the desert at night. And with the experience and lessons of the night trip of Mount Fuji in Japan, I decisively bought another headlight. Now, my mother doesn't have to worry about me walking at night anymore.

Clothing: In May, except for the southern part of the Red Sea, where the temperature was above 3 degrees, there was really no unexpected heat. I checked the weather forecast, and the temperature is around 25 degrees. Summer clothes and coats are basically enough. I'm afraid it will be cold on the plane and at night, so I'm going to take a cashmere sweater.

sun protection: I have to. The weather in Jordan is sunny. On my first day in Amman, I became braised pork. Sun protection in Jordan is too expensive to buy.

photographic equipment: I'm still struggling. Which body and lens do you bring? Do not use telephoto. A wide-angle head should be enough.
