What your VT hosts may not think to tell you - as VT hosts for Israel seem to think this is something you should find out for yourself or suffer the consequences (and if you do expect them to be able to tell you there is some strange message in there that means you are expecting them to be your social worker, tour agent or psychologist!!) - is that during the Shabbath time there is pretty much NO transport from Eilat up to Tel Aviv - so even if you think leaving Friday for your evening plane on Saturday is an okay plan - be warned - there are NO buses or shared taxis from 3 pm onwards through to 1130 am the next morning - leaving no way of getting to any flight departures on a Saturday other than very late evening planes.
What you probably wont get told either is that on Saturday there are no buses or trains to the airport either until they start running from whatever time it is Im yet to find out but from midday or later. So you are at the mercy of taxi drivers charging whatever price. Leave a Comment Other Contact: Worldmeet2008-dont!!he wont help

 A star fish by TheWanderingCamel
The same thing applies if you are flying out. You must tell your dive centre your plans and they will take you to a suitable dive site. Leave a Comment

" what are those little round balls"
"Oh, they are jelly fish, they bite you..."
And the quantity are so so so so much, I mean it's unavoidable, so prepare yourself to be bit and enjoy the hurt.
That's all I can say.>"<
At least, you are not fatal, so don't worry if you are bit by them. Leave a Comment

If you come to Aqaba late night, do not try to go anywhere and stay in Aqaba ( we did not )
If you don't do it you might end up paying more for the trip to Petra as was agreed, even if you call Police. ( your arabic won't help )
So no rush and just bloody wait till mornin' and find during night a good place to sleep.
It's not worth it as you'll soon see very friendly Jordanians and Iraqis you're gonna meet.
Enjoy beautifull Jordan and especially Petra.

There are alot of shopping area's that sell "name brand" for dirt cheap. Nike, Gap et. that are sold dirt cheap. One store had Gap jeans for 5jd. They most probably are knock offs tho so be careful

This happened to some friend of mine, not to me but I was there when the confromtation started, anyways... In Jordan like many countries in the middle east there is a picture of the King on the money, so when my buddies went to some kind stip club, they were given money that was for exclusive use at this club. needles to say when they left and tied to purchase something with the "other money" and were turned down by the merchant, they were an unhuppy bunch. So be aware of the currency you are given in exchange for real money, all official bill will have the kings face on it.

Watch out for the fake Addidas stuff - two stores - one across the Golden Tulip Hotel and one in the City Centre Mall. Fake, Fake, Fake....
