Amman, Jordan
I flew into Amman from Budapest arriving at the Queen Aaliya Airport. I tell you
how to get out of the airport very quickly in order to save time. If you have no
checked-in luggage and you have the Jordan Pass, it will be very quick to get
out of the airport. You just have to get your the visa stamped in your passport.
Officially, if you have the Jordan pass, you pay for the visa and you can waive
the 40 JD (Jordanian Dinar) visa fee upon leaving Jordan. This is not how it
happened to me. As I had the Jordan Pass, I just got the visa stamp free of
charge.

Wadi Rum Village, Jordan
I talk about accommodation, food, and tours altogether. In Wadi Rum it’s only
possible to do the tours and meals with the camp where you sleep. It’s because
in the desert you won’t hang out on your own and look for jeep tour deals and
restaurants. :D When you choose your accommodation in Wadi Rum, make sure that
in the camp you book, the tent has heating as in the desert it’s freezing cold
at night. When I was on the bus going to Aqaba, I was sitting next to a lady
who works as a tour guide. She asked me whether I have a heater in the
tent. When I booked my tent, I didn’t even think of heating.

Wadi Musa, Jordan
I normally don’t go to hotels, because I find them super boring and hostels
normally have 1000 times nicer and friendlier staff than any hotel. Hostels are
more casual and mostly run by young people who traveled extensively and
understand travelers like me as opposed to hotel staff. In Petra, there is no
hostel, so I stayed in the Rocky Mountain Hotel. If I went to Petra again, I
would stay in a cave which you can find on Airbnb. I found out about it when I
was talking to a Bedouin guy randomly in Petra. First, staying in a cave is a
more authentic experience, second staying inside Petra is more convenient and
you will have more time to explore. As a solo female traveler, I would not stay
in a cave in Petra on my own, but if I were with someone there, for sure.

I stayed at a my friend’s place, Nour. But before I knew I was going to stay at

Dead Sea, Jordan
By bus to the Dead Sea There is no public bus going there, only the private
company Jett Bus. Price: 10 JD (~12.40 €) Timetable: 8:30 Departure from
InterContinental Hotel in Amman that hotel and leaves from the Dead Sea Spa
hotel in the Dead Sea at 4:30 / 5:00 to Amman 9:00 Departure from Jett office at
7th Circle. 10:00 Arrival to the Dead Sea 18:00 Return to Amman By car to the
Dead Sea I think the best way to explore the Dead Sea is by car. That way you
can drive around and stop wherever you like on the way. I was very lucky because
I could go there with my friends from Amman. :-)
