Чисто транзитный отель 3* Pure transit hotel 3*

We went to Jordan for the first time. We visited Petra. Let's just say I wasn't particularly impressed. It is certainly interesting, but the heat was terrible, so brains melted more than information was normally absorbed. Moreover, annoying boys with folding booklets for one dollar one dinar (for reference, 40 dollars = 27 dinars). 0.33 jar of juice 2 dinaradollars. In general, things are bad with mathematics there. After the tour, we went to a hotel in the vicinity of Petra for a bite to eat (Movenpick). Fed tolerably for a transit hotel. the truth is tight with booze, but we were warned about this. True, one of the tourists caught a fly in a salad, but this also happens in our restaurants. Then we arrived in Aqaba. We were settled almost in the center of the city in a hotel called "Mina". But the hotel was, shall we say, not very good. There is construction next door, the hotel area is very compact, inside there is a small deep pool. Mostly locals (Arabs) rested there, so I didn’t want to swim at all. The room seemed to be cleaned, but at the same time the bedding seemed stale. There was a large stain on the bedspread (as if from yogurt or kefir). They fed us there in the evening and in the morning. There is no choice of food. Ate - and thank God. Juice 0.5 l cost 3 dollars. After dinner, we immediately went for a walk in the center. True, I still do not understand where the center of the city is. Everything is painfully compact. Throughout the city on the first floors of the shop with bright lighting. I will immediately make a reservation that the goods are of poor quality, which is why we did not take anything other than magnets and bookmarks in books for souvenirs. True, on the way to Petra we bought a book for 10 dinars about Jordan. I didn't see any boutiques there. Maybe he just went to such an area, or maybe they just do not differ from local shops. We went to the local likeness of McDonald's. 2 cheeseburgers + fries + 0.5l sprite cost 7 dollars. The cheeseburger was so-so. True, it looked like meat (not like ours). In general, the impressions are mixed. I advise lovers of exotic and sandy landscapes. By the way, although the country is poor, it survives at the expense of tourists along the way. They go on a buy-sell basis. True, the guide said that the average salary in the country is 800 bucks. But their prices are not childish.
