FAQ

I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

If you want an individual supplement for hotels, there is an additional charge of $ 790 per participant. We will do our best to find a hotel partner if you have no one to share with.

Tips

Tips are not included in the trip payment, but THEY ARE MANDATORY. Tips are calculated at $9 per person per day for 9 days, which will be distributed among: the bus drivers in both Israel and Jordan, the guides who will accompany us at all times to help us, the staff of the Hotels that will carry our luggage to and from our rooms, the staff of the restaurants in the hotels who will help us with the service. In each bus we will have an assigned person who will come to you to collect the $81 from you

Dress Code

Bring Casual and comfortable clothes, as well as comfortable footwear for walking.

 

Temperatures in Israel in March will be between 41 – 54-º F . Plan to dress in layers, that way if you get warm you can take clothes off, and if it’s cold you put clothes on. You can safely leave things on the bus while we visit the different places.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Neither shorts or bermudas, nor sleeveless blouses are allowed in the holy places. Please plan to have long pants and long sleeve shirts or sweaters available to layer over other clothes while visiting these places.

Electricity

The voltage for Istanbul is 220 volts.

Several hotels have electrical adapters and converters in their rooms; however, it is good that you bring your own European-style adapters and converters to connect your electrical appliances (especially hair dryers or hair straighteners). Most cameras, cell phones and tablets have multi-voltage connectors. The adapter style is Type C or Type F.

Luggage

Only one suitcase (up to 50 lbs.) Plus one carry-on is allowed on the flight. It’s a good idea to pack enough clothes for two days in your carry-on (this will be useful in case your luggage is lost or delayed).

Passport

Your passport must have a VALIDITY of at least 6 MONTHS from the date of your return home.
