  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?

  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!

  Awesome <!--graemlin::)-->
  
  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 <!--graemlin::)--> Perhaps in politics and culture it may seem more Middle Eastern but geographically it is not.

  Hello everyone <!--graemlin::)-->, 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.

  I’m getting mine beforehand as the Contiki rep said it’s a really good idea since they can always deny you a visa when you get there. I’m using the service they recommended:
  http://www.zvs.com/
  A bit pricey but I’d rather have the whole visa thing out of the way <!--graemlin::)--> If you are near a consulate I think you could just go and get yours in person as well. Also, some (very few) countries require a visa to fly though so be sure to check anywhere you have a stop at !
  
  Cheers!

  The Egyptian Embassy keeps on telling me that since I’m a Canadian, I should get it at the Cairo Airport. The lady says that they really don’t care.
