Is anyone going on the October 13th departure? I will be doing the European Escapade 9/13 departure, so I'll be flying in from Brussels. Send me a note if you're going to be on this tour. I'd like to see Petra after this but will probably end up on the beaches of Mallorca. My MSN is rf134a (at) hotmail (dot) com

So... no one is booked on this trip? I'm looking for some company to Jordan. My schedule is as follows:
October 21: Bus to Nuweiba, fast ferry at noon to Aqaba. Overnight in Aqaba.
October 22: Wadi Rum & overnight in a Bedouin camp
October 23: Petra
October 24&25: Amman and fly back to London

Any takers?

I am! Just signed up Friday. Can't make it to Jordan though, wish I could but not enough time off of work

I just signed up too ...but I'm flying back on the 21st...

Now we are three!

So are you both traveling alone too? I hope to find a roommate here before the trip. Looking forward to meeting and traveling with you both!

I'll be traveling alone.

Awesome

So does anyone else wonder why the Egypt board is under Europe and not Africa?

Contiki doesn't do tours to Africa. Technically, Egypt is in the Middle East but it's close enough to Europe since it doesn't fit anywhere else.

You can add me to your msn if you want.

Actually Egypt is on the continent of Africa so if Contiki doesn't do tours to Africa then someone should tell them they are Perhaps in politics and culture it may seem more Middle Eastern but geographically it is not.

Hello everyone , I'm sorting out my bookings but I will most likely be on this tour with you guys. Any tips? I'm 25/m Brisbane. This will be my fourth Contiki tour this year. I did the 22 Day Europe Camping just over a month ago.

Hi Marsha and EUtrotter! Welcome! The more people I see post here the more excited I am about going. BTW, I haven't posted it yet but I'm 33/f.

Me: 30/m. San Diego, California

Hello friends, I've booked and paid in full

Are you guys getting your visa before the trip, or waiting till you get there?
