Here we are going to rest in the Middle East. The choice fell on Jordan not by chance, I wanted to see Petra!
Departure from Domodedovo at 10.55 am by Transaero airline (it is much more profitable to fly than royal airlines: according to the time of arrival and departure, and even cheaper). We landed in Amman at 13.55 local time. The meeting party of "Taiki Tour" organized an individual transfer to the hotel, on the way we stopped at a cosmetics store, where they exchanged dollars for dinars at a good rate. The driver did not speak Russian, and since we are not strong in English, we had to talk to him through a representative of the tour operator by phone (we immediately agreed to meet at the hotel the next day about excursions).
Hotel:
At the reception, upon arrival, none of the hotel workers knew our native language, so they didn’t take a deposit from us, like from others (probably they were tired of explaining to us and fell behind). We were accommodated for 10 minutes in the main building on the 3rd floor, we chose the Superior room with a sea view and did not regret it, in the evening at sunset and at night "you can't take your eyes off it. " The room is very clean, all soap and water accessories were present, the mini-bar was filled with soft drinks and was replenished every day for free, towels were changed once every two days (they could put unwashed ones, they asked to change them), the air conditioner cooled normally, the safe worked properly, theft was noticed did not have. Tipping for cleaning the room left 2-3 dinars.
The hotel area is very large and green, quiet streets and it seems there are no people at all when you walk or go to the beach. It takes about 10 minutes to go to the sea from the main building, you can drive by electric car. Swimming pools, one of which is for children with sand (sunbeds can almost always be found free, except for Fridays and Saturdays, when local natives come), are located on the way to the beach, as well as a spa with a gym. The main restaurant "Saray" is located in the main building, the rest in the middle of the territory. The food is excellent (lamb and desserts are beyond praise), but for drinks you have to fork out at dinner.
Entertainment:
There are practically none, music and belly dancing are played near paid restaurants in the evenings, you can go to neighboring hotels or go to Amman (to a disco or have dinner). Mostly people come to take a break from the hustle and bustle, for relaxation.
Sea:
In fact, it is very salty, of course, with wounds and sun-burned skin, climbing into it is not very pleasant (the descent to the water is normal, otherwise many complain of inconvenience). But it is a pleasure to swim in it (especially for people like me, who are not very good at swimming knows how, if you want to drown, you won’t drown, like on a mattress). Bathing time should not exceed 15-20 minutes at a time, and climb at least 20 times. It is advised to smear with mud 1-2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening (the procedure takes 20 minutes until it dries). Problems with the skin, joints and blood vessels, many go away, but some do not help (it is better to consult a doctor).
Excursions:
The next day, upon arrival, we met with a representative of "Taiki Tour" Janti, an Adyghe by nationality (Many thanks to him for providing knowledge of history). We agreed with him on a schedule of excursions (it's better to go every other day) and bargained for money. you will lead the guide, where and how much to stop, and not vice versa), you will get more knowledge and pleasure from the beauty and sights surrounding you. Be sure to visit Petra (average price for two people, all day $ 500) and the Holy Places with a stop at hot springs ($ 350), you will not see this anywhere else. In Petra, who wants to get extreme, ride through the mountains and rocks, be sure to ride on horseback to the farthest monastery.
The best time for rest is from the end of April to the middle of May, it is still not very hot and there is no invasion of flies like in other months.
Will definitely return to this country and hotel.
