Rates: 1 JOD ≈ €1.22, US$1 ≈ €0.865 (mid-market, 31 Oct 2026). Self-transfer fares mean separate tickets, so a missed connection is your problem unless the booking site protects it. Cheap fares here exclude cabin bags.
Wadi Rum prices come from individual Bedouin operators' published rates and vary between camps. Private cars can't drive into the protected area, but you can walk in from the village; entry is covered by the Jordan Pass. Unroped scrambling on Wadi Rum's soft sandstone is serious, and rescue is slow, so go with a local guide for anything technical.
Petra by Night runs Sunday to Thursday. The official listing still shows 2025 dates, so confirm it's running in late December.
Estimated items (Amman, Antalya and Istanbul lodging, food in Jordan and Turkey, fuel) are planning numbers, not quotes. Flight fares move daily; the Jan 6 return is a placeholder.
