Petra. 22 hours on the way ...

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

For a long time I wanted to visit one of the Wonders of the World, the city Petra in Jordan. I considered different routes and options, but somehow there was no possibility. I did not want to go to Jordan especially. And finally the case turned up ...
We bought a tour to Sharm-al-Sheikh, Egypt. This place is a great for relax, and especially for diving. I'm a fan of this kind of recreation.
Literally every travel agency offered to buy an excursion to Petra. However, prices were significantly different. Not boasting, I declare that then I found the best price for this trip. It cost ... at the end I will say how much it cost))))
Arabic service is something special, I hope you understand me ;-) Departure starts at deep night, tourists are gathered for a long time from different hotels. Then there are several transfers from minibuses to large shuttles. This is very similar to torture.

Here is the border! Here we are waiting for the queue: 1 hour - the entrance to the customs, 1 hour - the entrance to the ferry, 1.5 hours - leaving the ferry, 1 hour - to receive a stamp, 1 hour - walking between buses on a hot concrete parking.
In the end, a nice Arabic guide will determine your bus and your fellow travelers. And again the road. Approximately 2 hours. Then 1 hour you will be tortured in a store of Jordanian souvenirs.

Jordan is a country of lunar landscapes. Charming sandy landscapes.

And finally, here it is, the long-awaited target. There is no point in describing Petra, you must look at it yourself. It's inexpressibly, wonderfully, fantastically and more, more, more...

A little bit about the weather. Heat sharply gives way to cold, and vice versa. These are mountains

A few words about the Jordanians. They are almost like Egyptians, the same language, same look... just baksheesh they require much more. An adwise - Do not try to take a horse included in the ticket price. You will be forced to give a tip in the amount of $ 10. Yes, so even if you're the prophet Azrael ...

Then everything repeats itself, only in the reverse order: 2 hours drive, 1 hour - in a nasty store, and so on ... and as close to the night as the slower the Arab service becomes, on which your movement in time and space depends.

Yes, I almost forgot to write about the cost of this torture. It cost $ 190. When we discussed the price with the neighbors by waiting queue, the people were ready to kill me right on the spot. Some paid up to 800!
