Insurance

 

You are recommended to obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. Ensure your insurance covers unexpected losses or expenses eg lost luggage, stolen cash and credit cards or cancelled/missed flights. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. Please see travel insurance for more information.

If things go wrong when overseas, then this is how we can help.

Visas for Syria and Saudi Arabia

If you are travelling from Jordan to Syria and Saudi Arabia, you must obtain these visas before arriving in Jordan. If your passport contains Israeli stamps or Jordanian or Egyptian stamps from border crossings with Israel, you will be refused entry to Syria and Saudi Arabia, even if you have a valid visa.
