How long does it take to get a visa to Jordan? Jordan road trip introduced.

Jordan has different scenery. 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 you enter the country by land, you can only go to landing visa with the North-South Pass. A Jerusalem pass requires a Jordanian pass. And this pass is only open until noon 12.

I bought a Jordan pass, which was divided into 70, 75 and 80 dollars, but my time in Petra was 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.

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

Israel needs a visa, and the materials prepared are similar to those of Schengen. 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 come out in five days.

air ticket

Compared with domestic flights to Europe, domestic flights to Israel and Jordan are quite expensive. The flights found out at that time were basically 67,000 oceans. Unwilling, I searched for the combination of various dates and found a cheap ticket of Turkish Airlines. Amman entered Tel Aviv and Istanbul took off more than 5,000 times. In fact, the situation in the Middle East has been unstable recently. I really don't want to fly on Turkish Airlines. However, because it is cheap, I will fight for it. Moreover, Russia-Turkey relations have been so good recently that there should be no Russian retaliation against Turkey. Turkish Airlines belongs to the Star Alliance and can earn Air China points.

hotel

Book tickets all the way. At that time, for fear of visa delay, all reservations could be refunded, but the price was higher than not 1200 yuan. Because I had to pay the visa first, I didn't choose anything carefully except the tent hotel in Wadi Lahm when I booked it. Later, I got a visa and found that the hotel I booked casually was not bad. It's expensive to book a hotel now, so except Haifa.

Because I have lived in Jerusalem for a long time, I originally wanted to change bnb. But there are 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 booking a hotel, we can find that the consumption in Jordan is not high, basically around 400, so we can stay in a more reasonable hotel. Moreover, the consumption in Israel is on the high side, and there are basically 1 0,000 hotels worthy of attention.

Rent 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 300 days, which is simply the price of cabbage compared with South America. Now that I have the bottom of South America, I feel that everything is cheap.

It's all done by renting a car. Anyway, I only recognize overseas car rental now. Last year, I went to Europe and rented a car from a rented car. It was originally an all-insurance car, but the damn car rental company bullied me into not speaking English and sold me an all-insurance book, 1000 euros, although I still didn't return it. Sorry to say, we know it's unreasonable, but you agreed to buy it yourself. What is the reason? Do I know that killing is illegal, but if you agree to let me kill you, I won'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 home, 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 growth companies, such as booking companies, such as air tickets. It's always hello when there is 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 high your monopoly is, 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. 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 be able to understand all the trap clauses in the car rental contract.

2. If something goes wrong, there will be local complaints;

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. renting a car is super all-insurance, economical and practical, and it costs tens of dollars a day. It is convenient to keep all kinds of documents after the accident and come back to claim compensation.

Global (satellite) positioning system

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 go, cache the map and save traffic, even if there is no signal.

Phone card/phone 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, 10 dinar, equivalent to RMB 100, 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 town, and Jordan basically covers it.

Currency bank card

ATM with UnionPay logo at Jordan Airport can withdraw cash, and a handling fee of 5 dinars is charged for 250 Jordanian dinars. The exchange rate of Jordanian dinar is relatively high, which is about 1: 10 with RMB. Unionpay cards are very common in Jordan, but some places don't know why they can't be swiped. Just use visa instead.

other

Headlight: I'm going to shoot the stars 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 the temperature in the southern part of the Red Sea was above 30 degrees, there was really no unexpected heat in other places. I watched the weather forecast, and the temperature was 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? Don't use telephoto. A wide-angle head should be enough.
