This was by far the best travel video about Jordan I have seen so far! Great shots, well chosen music, your voice is very pleasant and it was well edited. Bravo!
I'm jordanian, this is by far the most beautiful Jordan vlog I've ever seen, thank you for enjoying and appreciating Jordan and it's culture❤ hope you had a good time
Phenominal scenery and narration - gives me serene vibes. A good reminder to live life to the fullest and experience new places & cultures. Thanks for sharing your journey.
This was so calming, interesting, informative and pleasant to watch! I go to Jordan soon and my itinerary looks a lot like yours, so this was helpful. Thanks, you have a new follower!👌🏾✨
I came to Jordan. Jordan is a beautiful country. The people there are very kind and the country is very safe. I hope to visit it again. I spent a week there. It was the most beautiful days of my life.
Thank you! I contacted a tour agency in my home country and they were the ones that contacted the local tour company they work with in Jordan to help arrange everything :) so I’m not quite sure of the name of the local tour agency in Jordan ❣️
thank you! I went in march :) usually they said it’s not too cold, but when i went it was raining and snowing (they said this is a rare occurrence though 😂) as for shoes, i recommend anything that has grip at the bottom - if you’re going to climb up to the monastery, the stairs aren’t really stairs at certain points and could get super slippery!
Thanks for this great video! I watched so many to prepare for my trip but yours actually showed me new sides of Jordan and really inspired me to seek out more cultural experiences.
thanks for this video. did you go solo? i';m heading there in sept and will be partial solo... excited but dont know much about the local culture so doing as much research as i can!
Thank you so much for your sharing, awesome work! Could you tell me the name or website of your Wadi Rum local tour? Cause we will go there and wonder which one is suit for us. Your dining seems like so cool there!
I booked through a Thai travel agency so they were the ones that contacted the local tour agency in Jordan! However, the hotel that we stayed in (Sun City Camp) offers these tours :)
A wonderful video. Very informative too. I had a couple of questions. In Wadi Rum, did you organize your jeep tours and camel ride through Sun City camp? How long was the jeep tour and the camel ride? Did you tour both the white and the red desert or just one? How did you get around Jordan - rented car or did you hire a car and driver or did you just use Public transport? Thanks you.
Thank you so much! Here are my answers to your questions: - I organized the jeep tour through the local agency and camel ride through Sun City Camp (but I asked the tour guide and he said price and itinerary-wise, it’s more or less the same) - The jeep tour was about 2.5-3 hours - but this also depends on where you decide to go and how much climbing you decide to do. - We toured both I think, the jeep tour was quite flexible though, so if you have particular places you are interested in, you could ask them whether it’s on the way so you could make a stop there :) - The local tour agency hired a car and driver for us!
@@cyberfan1 unfortunately, I don’t actually know the name of the local tour agency since everything was planned through the travel agency I contacted back in Thailand, but I think contacting Sun City Camp would be easiest since the jeep tours all seem quite similar - I highly recommend the sunset jeep tour, and if possible go for a private tour and they might take you to less crowded spots :)
thank you so much! i’m not quite sure about the local agent as i let the travel agent from my home country contact the local agents that they work with :)
Your shoes look like for winter.. Was not it too hot for them? (I am asking because I will visit jordan in September and I wanna have proper clothes for dessert
My shoes are hiking boots! So they’re not too hot for warmer weather either :) The desert is not as hot as you would think, and it also usually gets quite cold at night!
@@absentabroad I am planning to wear my comfortable adidas shoes. I guess It should be enough? and thank you so much for the answer that was a concerning issue to me :)
Hi. I'm coming to Israel next week for 3days. You wouldn't happen to know the easiest and cheapest way to enter Jordan and visit Petra would you? Do I need a rental or are there buses for tourist? Thanks a lot P. S. And what documentation did you need coming from America?
Hi! I’m from Thailand so I didn’t need anything going in except my vaccine passport and PCR test 2 days before flying (not sure if the regulations are still the same). I’ve never been to Israel so I’m not quite sure which part you’ll be at and how easy it is to enter from there. But what I do know is that there are buses that go to Petra (departs from Abdali JETT Bus Station in Amman in the morning)
May can you help me, I will travel to Jordan next Thursday, I found in my research it is mandatory to provide QR visit to join, noted I apply to get QR visit but till now I didn’t receive it, my enquiry Does anybody at airport ask you about Qr visit or not ? Please advise me
hi~ I went this time last year so the entry requirements were very different (we didn’t have any QR visit requirements last time) - did you check your spam folder in your email as well?
I hired a private van as well! I’m not sure of its price alone because I booked it with a tour agency and the van was part of that whole package - but it could get expensive depending on the distance, but since Amman to Wadi Rum is quite a common route, I think there will be a lot of options for you!
exciting!! I honestly packed all the wrong things for this trip because I didn’t expect it to be that cold when I went 😂 But things i packed that were very helpful were: hiking shoes (some paths are quite slippery so shoes with grip are best), leggings, backpack, thick socks (because my feet are very prone to blisters), energy bars/snacks you like (i personally find some of the snacks there too sweet), sunglasses for the jeep tour (to protect yourself from the sand 😂) :)
@@magda1988g I went in March so I thought it would get warmer and only packed a light jacket, but it rained so the weather dropped to -1 celsius 🥲 I think my mum has visited in September and she said the weather is nice but could get quite cold in the evening :)
@@robiestalk1940 i think it's possible, but the prices will vary according to the country you are from :) i would suggest asking a local tour agency from your country for the price! :)
thank you! yes it’s a shame i couldn’t go! i really wanted to go there and also to jerash! :( guess it’s a good excuse to go back to jordan again next time :)
We are planning a trip to Jordan and were impressed by the restaurants that you went to. How did you know which restaurants to go to? Did someone recommend them or is there a restaurant review that you use?
@@absentabroad Thanks for the helpful advice. I noticed you did a jeep tour. I am wanting to do a jeep tour in Jordan in stay at one of the hotels in Wadi rum. I am not sure of transportation to the jeep tour meet sight since I was told no taxi or uber in Wadi Rum Village. How did you get from your hotel to the jeep tour meet sight and transportation back to your hotel. Any info or suggestions will help.
I visited mid-march and it was actually quite cold (went down to about 0-1 degrees celsius and snowed), so I’m assuming December will be colder. Definitely pack a windproof jacket (I forgot mine) for the desert and lightweight clothes that are suitable for trekking. Not sure how old your kids are but hiking shoes with a good grip would be good too if you are planning to climb all the way up to the monastery! :) In Wadi Rum and Petra, do bring along a water bottle and some snacks. Although there are cafes/restaurants on the way and locals offering tea, it’s quite a trek. I brought my snacks from Thailand (rice crackers, sweets, cookies and energy bars) so that I could bring them along with me to the different hikes/jeep tours! :)
Hello, first of all, thanks for sharing your experience, I have found your video very easy to watch and listen to and quite interesting. I was thinking of making a trip to Jordan and I would like to know if you booked a tour with a company or if you rent a car? Also, which month of the year did you go? Thanks.
thank you! i went in march 2022, and organized my trip using a local tour agency from my home country (thailand), where the thai agency did all the contacting with the tour agency in jordan. I also went with family so they arranged a car and driver with a local guide for us!
Your vlogs are truly peace of art, so peaceful and beautiful And useful ! Truly thank you for sharing 😊. I have one question : how long did your trip last ? To be able to do and see all the things you did. Thank you.
thank you! my trip lasted about 7 days (this is including the almost 2 days of travel time i had to do to get there!) - 1 night in amman - 2 nights in wadi rum - 2 nights in petra :)
Loved your narration, visuals and everything about this video! Great job 😍 👏 I’m planning my trip to Jordan for next spring! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
When we watch travel content on RU-vid, we usually take a lot of time to see RU-vidrs' heads & feet. Sometimes the footage is shaky.😵💫 But watching your vlogs is so relaxing. I can finally enjoy the views.👍 Love the way you make videos. And thank you for making my day a little brighter.💚
