PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This trip is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 30 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the final cancellation notification deadline is 20 days before the start of the tour. A tour cancelled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through your agency.
VISA
Ordinary Passport No visa required
Green Passport No visa required
Service Passport No visa required
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and must not be more than 10 years old.
For destinations requiring a visa, you must apply for the visa with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports, such passports must be renewed, and if the country applies visas to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since guests under the age of 18 travelling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked by the police officer at the country’s entry and exit points to provide a document showing the joint consent of both parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents show due sensitivity regarding this matter.
HEALTH
There is no vaccination requirement for Turkish citizens entering Jordan. We do not think you will encounter any issue that will negatively affect your health during the lunches and dinners we will have at good restaurants and hotels in the regions. Throughout the trip, we recommend that you do not drink tap water and consume only bottled water opened by you for the first time.

OPTIONAL TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we receive services from with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If sufficient numbers are not reached, the excursions may not take place, or the prices, content, and vehicles used for optional tours / activities may vary depending on the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of optional tours / activities may be changed by the guide depending on whether museums, archaeological sites, or venues at the destinations are open/closed and on weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances exceeding the specified kilometres. Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed offered to the third person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds consist of beds referred to as folding beds and coach beds, participants making reservations for a third person and/or a child are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible crowding in the rooms and the bed type. Child discounts are valid for one (1) child staying with 2 adults and falling within the age group specified in the pricing section. Breakfasts included in the tour programme and taken at the hotel are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited, generally as a continental breakfast consisting of a limited menu of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, and may be served in a separate room allocated to the group.
CURRENCY
The currency of Jordan is the Jordanian Dinar (JOD). It is advisable to carry US Dollars (USD) with you.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a destination/passport where a visa is required) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry into the country. Quheilan Tour is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger. Quheilan Tour is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the 28.09.1955 Hague Protocol. There may be a risk of delays on scheduled and charter flights, or times may change before the current trip and flight. Quheilan Tour is obliged to notify you of these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children between 0 and 2 years of age do not pay airport taxes or airport service fees. Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours lasting no more than 2–3 hours, arranged for a general introduction to the cities and conducted panoramically with a guide’s commentary from inside the vehicle; they do not include museum or archaeological site entrance fees. If panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the programme, cannot take place because local authorities do not permit visiting or entering the relevant places on the day and at the time corresponding to the tour, or because roads are closed due to any event, or if the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions, Quheilan Tour is not responsible for the inability to conduct such tours. Some tours may be conducted by public transport or on foot, where possible, at locations with closed roads or where vehicle access is not permitted.
