SHORE EXCURSIONS TOURS FROM AQABA PORT

Can I get a visa on arrival?

Cruise Ship Passengers are provided with a free and automatic visa to Jordan when taking a tour in Jordan (providing they are from a non-restricted nationality). For a list of countries that are restricted and non-restricted please see here : http://in.visitjordan.com/generalinformation/entryintojordan.aspx

Restricted nationalities need to apply for a visa in advance.

Do I need to bring my passport with me?

It is ok to only have a copy of your passport for your tour but having the passport itself is better & recommended  .

Why do you need my passport details for booking a Shore Excursion?

In order to be authorized to pick guests up from the Port Area we are required to submit a visa manifest to the Border/Port Authority. The visa manifest requires the full passport details for all guests. This manifest is stamped and authorized which allows our guides and drivers with their vehicles to gain entry to the Port Area to pick up the guests from the front of the ship.

If you do not provide us with the full passport details of all guests, you will be required to catch the public shuttle bus from the Port area to the town centre. This can take from 1 – 2 hours and can cause significant delays for your tour.

This is why we ask for your full passport details when you submit your booking form for a Shore Excursion Tour with us.

Please note that Shore Excursions need to be booked a minimum of 24 hours in advance so that we are able to get an authorized and stamped copy of the Visa Manifest form the Border/Port Authority.

How do I meet my driver and/or guide for my Shore Excursion?

Your driver and/or guide (if you have a guide for the duration of your shore excursion) will be waiting for you with a sign with your name on it at the Front of the ship. It will be easy to find them.
