2 Your Itinerary Day 1 Amman, Jordan Amman is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, so you're a little late but welcome! Head to a shawarma stand or grab a plate of mansaf because the food here is off the hookah. Just be back in time for tonight's welcome meeting. -Airport transfer Day 2 Amman to Petra Go old school in Madaba, the site of an ancient Holy map that's so detailed it's like Google Maps for theologists. Then, soak up views of the Promised Land from the top of Mt Nebo, storm a giant Crusader castle in Karak... and we haven't even gotten to the Lost City yet. -Madaba -Mt Nebo -Karak castle Optional activities: -Petra By Night Day 3 Petra Chiseled from sheer cliffs of rose-red stone and named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, Petra s existence seems impossible. Grab your satchel and don t forget your hat, Indiana Jones has nothing on you today as you wander through the Siq and catch your first glimpse of the Treasury.

3 Day 4 Petra to Wadi Rum Like Mini Me to Doctor Evil, Little Petra will feel a little familiar this morning - that façade! After an off-road desert drive through Wadi Rum - aka alien landscape in The Martian and Transformers - spend the night in a Bedouin camp and feast on a traditional earth-oven dinner with one of the world's most ancient nomadic tribes. Also realise you've never really seen stars before. -Little Petra -4x4 excursion -Overnight in Bedouin desert camp -Dinner Day 5 Wadi Rum to Aqaba Aqaba is Jordan's only coastal city so take the option to dive, windsurf and snorkel the Red Sea. Or just hit the hammam and gorge yourself on knafeh in a coffee shop, we won't judge. Optional activities: -Diving -Snorkelling -Water sports Day 6 Aqaba to Amman At 427 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is so salty you can float like a cork in a badly opened bottle of wine. Time to enjoy one of the world's oldest health resorts. Then it's back to Amman to see the likes of the Citadel and Roman ampitheatre on a city tour. #sorrynotsorry -Dead Sea -Amman city tour

4 Day 7 Amman Today we crank the history knob up to 11 and take you through Jerash - home to Greco-Roman highlights, including a hippodrome which was used for chariot racing, not hippos. Then visit Ajloun Castle aka the Jordanian telco of the 1200s - once an important pigeon post to help get messages from Damascus to Cairo in a single day. -Roman ruins at Jerash -Ajloun Castle Day 8 Amman Fill up on fuul; the trip's over after breakfast. Where to next? -Airport transfer Accommodation On your trip you will primarily stay in quality, three-star hotels on a twin-share basis. You will also get to experience a night in a desert camp at Wadi Rum. The camp features twin-share tents, with beds, pillows and all sheets & blankets provided, along with either en-suite bathrooms or shared facilities. NOTE: the bathroom facilities are basic (hey,you're in the desert!) and the showers are usually cold-water only - but it's all part of the amazing experience you will remember for ever! The 'More Inclusions' section on this document has a full breakdown of the accommodation used. Optional Activities On all trips we have arranged extra activities that we think will enhance your travel experience, but you have a choice as to whether or not you will participate. These are not included in the cost of your trip. They are usually organised on a group participation basis and should be taken into consideration when budgeting your spending money. None of the Optional Activities on your trip are operated by Topdeck, nor do they form part of your contract with Topdeck for your trip. Topdeck arranges the activity as an agent of the local supplier. Should you participate in any Optional Activities your contract will be with the local supplier and their conditions will apply. Please note: while we make every effort to keep these prices as accurate and up-to-date as possible, they are subject to change and in rare circumstances the actual price may vary slightly to what is published here.

Breakfasts are included every day on most trips (except on the first morning). A typical breakfast may consist of cereals with milk or yoghurt, bread, croissants, cold meats, cheese and a range of spreads, with fruit juice, tea or coffee to drink. It is rare to get a hot breakfast, though on some occasions there may be some hot food available as well. Included evening meals are in local restaurants or you place of accommodation and are either two or three courses. In most cases table water is provided with the meals, and if you wish to purchase additional drinks you can do so at your own expense. If you have any dietary requirements we will make every effort to cater to your specific needs as long as you advise your travel agent or Topdeck Trip Consultant when you book. But please be aware that although we will do everything in our power to arrange it, we cannot guarantee that every restaurant we use will be able to cater to all dietary needs. We also cannot cater for tastes or dislikes, as most of our included evening meals feature a set menu. If you allow US$30 per day in Jordan for meals that are not included you will be able to eat fairly well. Topdeck Travel App Our travel app has landed!

6 Get it for Android Other Information Finances Currencies Jordan - the currency unit in Jordan is the Jordanian dinar (JD or JOD), which is divided into 100 piastres. British pounds, Euros and US dollars are widely accepted, so carrying some cash in small denomination notes is helpful. It is generally always possible to change money into local currency after arriving in the country, and the easiest way is to make a withdrawal from a local ATM. Changing Money Cash points/atms are widely available and are the safest and easiest way to access cash. Most major credit cards are accepted throughout the region. We recommend that you bring yours along in case you see something special, which you hadn t budgeted for. Please note credit cards cannot be used to pay for Optional Activities. It is advisable you notify your bank or credit card issuing company of your intention to travel as for security reasons, banks and credit card companies sometimes block cards when withdrawals are unexpectedly made overseas. British pounds, Euros and US dollars are easily exchanged in Jordan and are an alternative to using ATMs. Note: Currencies other than GBP, EUR, and USD MAY NOT be accepted for exchange or payment. Upon arrival at Amman airport, it is advisable to cash up about JD 25 (on top of your visa fee). This will cover any expenditure on your Amman sightseeing day and give you flexibility until you need to change more money where you can get a better exchange rate. On your trip you will be given the opportunity to change money at either a bank or hotel. Spending Money Based on past experience, we recommend at least JD 40 to 50 (approx USD 55 to 70) per day in Jordan to cover your normal expenses including sightseeing, small souvenir shopping and non-included meals. If you wish to purchase expensive souvenirs, you will need to budget for more, or use your credit cards for these purchases. Remember, this is a rough figure only and spending habits vary greatly between individuals according to their budget and habits! Tipping Although you may not be accustomed to tipping at home, tipping is an important way of life in Jordan and is something that is done by locals as well as tourists. When travelling with Topdeck, tips are already included on anything that forms part of your itinerary, including bus/coach drivers, included meals, hotel staff, local guides, etc. This includes your Topdeck Trip Leader. That means you do not have to tip for any of these included services!

7 However, you will need to tip for services that are not included, so please take this into consideration when working out your budget. For example, you will need to tip at non-included meals when you pay for the meal yourself, even if your Trip Leader has helped organise it, and you will need to tip for anything you do on your free time. Your Trip Leader can advise you what an appropriate tip amount is. A general rule when tipping is if the service warrants it, tip what you think is a fair amount, and if you do not think so, then do not tip or tip less than normal. Also, do not get bullied into tipping and disregard any comments that you have not given enough. Topdeck Top Tip: it is a really good idea to hide away somewhere a small amount of cash and/or extra card; this will really come in handy in the unlikely event that you lose your wallet or any other kind of emergency. Insurance It is compulsory for all passengers to take out comprehensive travel insurance before the trip departs covering cancellation, medical expenses including repatriation, loss or damage to baggage and personal belongings, money and personal liability. World Nomads provide comprehensive travel insurance for people from over 140 countries. For more information go to You must bring a copy of your travel insurance policy with you on the trip. Your Trip Leader will make a record of your travel insurance details at the start of your trip, e.g. the name of the insurance company, the 24 hour emergency telephone number, and your policy number. These will be sent to our operations team to ensure that if you lose your policy details, they can be easily retrieved. Passports & Visa Some countries may refuse you entry if there is not at least six months validity on your passport after your departure date from their country so please ensure your passport complies before you leave home. Jordan All visitors to Jordan require a visa, however you MAY be eligible to obtain this visa on arrival for FREE at the international airport in Amman. To be eligible, your passport nationality must not be from a restricted country (see below) AND you will also require the assistance of the Topdeck Jordan airport representative. In order for our rep to meet you prior to reaching immigration at the airport, you MUST supply us with your passport details and flight arrival details well in advance of arriving in Jordan. NOTE: Jordanian authorities alone control entry to their country. Topdeck and our airport representative CANNOT guarantee you will be allowed to enter Jordan. If you are from a restricted country (see below) OR we do not receive your passport details in advance, our airport representative CANNOT assist you in obtaining a free visa on arrival. As a result, you will need to obtain a Jordan entry visa at cost on your own. If you are not from a restricted country (see below), you are eligible to obtain a visa on arrival at a cost of JD 40 (approx USD 60). RESTRICTED COUNTRIES: You must contact your local Jordanian consulate or embassy well in advance of your departure to determine if your country is on the restricted list and for confirmation of your visa requirements. Topdeck has no authority over which countries are on the restricted list, nor do we have any control over visa requirements and processes. The restricted countries list could change at any time, as could the processes described above, and therefore Topdeck cannot guarantee the accuracy of the above information.

8 Remember that some visas can take up to six weeks to acquire, so don't leave it until the last minute. Also bear in mind that the validity of the visa often runs from the date of issue rather than date of entry into the country. Please check with the appropriate embassies prior to departure as requirements do change periodically. Departure Taxes In addition to the visa fees indicated above, you will also need to pay the following departure taxes when exiting these countries: Jordan- JD 10 (approx USD 15) Transport Your trip will use a modern air-conditioned mini-bus. A 4x4 jeep excursion is also included in the desert near Wadi Rum! Health & Safety We want to make sure you're having the time of your life while travelling with us. Therefore, if you suffer from any kind of medical condition or allergies, we will need to know at the time of booking, or at least six weeks prior to the departure of your trip. If you require regular medication, you must have a sufficient supply before your trip departs, as it may be difficult to obtain while travelling. You must be able to administer your own medication, as Topdeck Road Crew will not be able to administer it, and there are no guarantees that there will be anyone with first aid training on board. Strict food and water hygiene is essential to avoid diarrhoea. Make sure food has been properly prepared, drink only boiled or bottled water and keep in mind that ice will likely come from tap water. Also take precautions against insect bites and sunburn. During the hot summer months it is advisable to carry bottled water in your day-pack at all times. Vaccinations We recommend that you ensure your tetanus, diphtheria, typhoid, polio and hepatitis vaccinations are up to date. Please consult a medical practitioner for the relevant requirements prior to travelling. Safety note If you are arriving a few days before the start of your trip, please be advised not to accept offers from people to visit specialty shops or to take guided tours. These people are not associated with Topdeck and therefore we can't be responsible for the service you receive from them. Your Topdeck trip includes professional guides who will accompany you to all the sites mentioned in your itinerary. General Information Power Most hotels in Jordan use the same two-prong plug as used in Europe (CEE 7/16 'Type C' standard) and a single adaptor will work in both. However, in some Jordanian hotels you will find the British plug socket (BS 1363 'Type G' standard). Voltage Throughout Jordan the voltage is a uniform 220v. If the voltage is the same or similar in your home country your appliance will comply. If you

9 have a 110v appliance you will need to use a transformer to avoid damaging your appliance. Contact Us Should you encounter any difficulties meeting your transfer from the airport to the starting hotel, depending on which country you are in you can contact a Topdeck representative on the following: Al-Thuraya Travel and Tours - Local handlers in Jordan and Israel> Phone +(962) Other emergency contacts: Ms Sholpan Geegeeh - +(962) In Cases of Emergency While we hope you never have to use it, if for any reason you need to contact someone from Topdeck, whether it be that you have missed a trip departure meeting, have become separated from your trip on the road or any other unforeseeable problem, the following options are available to you. London Office Your best recourse to assistance during the day is to call our team between 8am-9pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am-4pm on Saturdays UK time. Tel: +44 (0) Emergency Contact If you need to contact Topdeck outside of the above hours the following number is available: Mobile: +(44) Please remember if it is a genuine emergency, we of course want you to call us; however, if it can wait until the next day, we ask that you call during our office hours. Thank you. What to bring We recommend soft bags, suitcases or frameless backpacks, plus a small day pack or carry bag. No external framed bags please, as they damage other bags on the coach. Please limit your luggage to a maximum of 20kg. Luggage must not exceed dimensions of 70cm in height, 45cm in width and 25cm in depth. Only one piece of luggage is allowed. Please note that due to space and weight restrictions on our coaches, passengers with too much luggage on departure morning may be told that they cannot take their entire luggage with them. Luggage storage facilities are usually available at the departure point, if they are not available you will have to make your own arrangements to have it stored or shipped home. Any luggage left behind will be at your own risk and you will be required to pay any costs incurred. Suggested packing list The golden rule is to travel as light as you can. Only bring what you really need and leave plenty of space for things you might want to buy. Don't forget you will have to carry your bag around yourself before and after the trip, as well as in and out of where you're staying while on your trip!

10 The following is a suggested clothing list only, based on our experience. 1 pair of comfortable walking shoes 1 pair of smart-casual shoes 1 pair of thongs/jandals/flip-flops 2 pairs jeans/trousers 2 pairs shorts/skirts 4 shirts/t-shirts 2 sweaters/jumpers Smart casual evening wear 1 rainproof jacket Underwear and socks! General Things to Pack: Swimming costume Beach Towel Toiletries Hat & Sunscreen Basic medical kit (including plasters, aspirin etc.) Washing powder Insect repellent Conversion plug Optional: Torch Travel pillow Travelling in winter While the daytime temperatures can be mild in the winter months in the region, the evenings are generally cold, especially in the desert. We recommend that you bring warm clothing including a warm coat for use in the evenings. The hotels do not cater for winter temperatures as well as they perhaps could so we recommend you bring something warm to sleep in. You need a good sleep at night to enjoy the daytime activities. The winter is not the busiest season, so the mild days can make sightseeing more enjoyable than during the heat of summer, and provided you have some warm clothes, walking through street markets without the crowds is a joy. Sleeping bags A sleeping bag will not be required for your trip. Final checklist Passport (with visas if required!)
