  The tour allowed us to get to know the main places in Jordan and have a complete vision of the country. To get to Lot's Cave, the guide suggested doing it with a car, but when getting off it, we had to climb more than 200 steps on foot, of which the guide did not know because he had never been there and it is an important fact to mention for those with reduced mobility. In Betania we spent more than 40 minutes in a souvenir shop but later on the Jordan River the guide said that we didn't have time to see the Orthodox church. We were able to enter at the insistence of the group. We were not told that we could dive into the Jordan River to bring towels and change clothes, other tourists did. The visit to Jerash was very interesting and surprising for the conservation of the ruins. In the Wadi Rum camp it would have been enough to prepare a handbag. This would have avoided loading and unloading the suitcases of all passengers, speeding up the transfer. The camel ride was 45 minutes according to the itinerary but only of 15 according to the guide. Given the claim of several passengers with the agency, it was carried out as indicated. In the Dead Sea, a brief explanation of how to apply the mud to take advantage of its properties would have been good. Excellent Holiday Inn hotel on the Dead Sea. /=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/= El tour nos permitió conocer los principales lugares de Jordania y tener una visión completa del país. Para llegar a la Cueva de Lot el guía sugirió hacerlo con un auto pero al bajar del mismo hubo que subir a pie más de 200 escalones de los cuales el guía no sabía porque nunca había ido y es un dato importante mencionar para aquellas personas con movilidad reducida. En Betania estuvimos más de 40 minutos en un negocio de souvenirs pero después en el río Jordán el guía dijo que no teníamos tiempo para ver la iglesia ortodoxa. Pudimos entrar ante la insistencia del grupo. No nos avisaron que podíamos sumergirnos en el río Jordán como para llevar toallas y ropa para cambiarse, otros turistas lo hicieron. La visita a Jerash resultó muy interesante y sorprendente por la conservación de las ruinas. En el campamento de Wadi Rum hubiera sido suficiente preparar un bolso de mano. Esto hubiera evitado el bajar y subir las valijas de todos los pasajeros, agilizando el traslado. El viaje en camello era de 45 minutos según el itinerario pero solo de 15 según el guía. Ante el reclamo de varios pasajeros con la agencia, se realizó de acuerdo a lo indicado. En el Mar Muerto hubiera estado bien una breve explicación de cómo colocarse el barro para aprovechar sus propiedades. Excelente el hotel Holiday Inn en el Mar Muerto.

  Metropolitan Hotel in Tel Aviv allotted a very small and smelly room to us. Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem was not upto the mark. It offered all members of the group rooms in the lowest floors only. More importantly, the room assigned to us was not properly maintained. There were problems with the sink in the toilet, TV, noisy AC, absence of hangers in the wardrobe etc. The staff were rude. Similarly, the Grand Palace Hotel in Amman was not in good shape. There were problems in the toilet, dirty linen in the bed etc. Only the Leonardo Plaza Hotel in Tiberias and the Nabatean Castle Hotel in Petra were excellent. The bus driver Abid in Israel was not reliable. He kept us waiting at various pick-up points. Our visit to Bethlehem got delayed by more than an hour, because of which we could not see the Church of Nativity properly. We would suggest that the Bethlehem part of the visit should take place early in the morning followed by visits to the Church of John the Baptiste and the Holocaust Museum. All the guides were very well informed and answered our questions except the guide at Bethlehem (Firdous). Overall, the visit was extremely well coordinated by CTO.
