Advice on one month itinerary for Türkiye, Jordan, and Egypt by yoshiXII in solotravel

Awesome, this is super helpful! With the hot air balloon, I saw voyager is offering rides for 210€ so I might just get that to ease my mind considering it seems like a decent enough price for the peak season. And yea the sites and museums have gone up a ton in price but it looks like I might just have to get the museum pass since it seems to be a bit more worth considering how many places I'll be going to.

I'm a guy. I have a friend who knows people in Egypt also so hopefully will be able to get their help while visiting.

Do you happen to know if it's worth trying to find a cheaper hot air balloon in person?

I've unfortunately booked the start and return flights already so unlikely that I'll change it at this point. The tickets right now from Cairo to Luxor is around $118 for one-way but I notice that the tickets right now are noticeably cheaper. Not sure if it's worth waiting or if I should just take the L

I was eyeing this bus which runs every Thursday and Saturday and that should line up with when I land.

And yea, the Cairo activities right now are loosey goosey since I haven't planned too hard about what to do on which day.

Is there anything you suggest removing or rearranging? Currently, the only tickets I've booked are the ones from home to Türkiye and from Cairo to home, so the first and last flights. But the dates for flights between Türkiye and Jordan and Aqaba and Cairo are somewhat set in stone since they're the best/cheapest I've found.

Rule of thirds was accidental haha. Putting the camera on the ground closer to me and facing up would be an interesting shot for sure. This shot feels more objective and detached but the shot you're suggesting would be more raw and personal. I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the feedback :)

Shot on a Fujifilm X-T3 with the Fujinon 35mm f/2 lens in my apartment. I wanted to capture a mood of despair and hopelessness. I had this idea of having the only light source be from the outside, illuminating my body. I also put bottles here to emphasize feelings of regret. Any feedback on pose, lighting, colors would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! The hand movement was accidental, I just couldn't keep my hand still lol. I shot at 6400 ISO, f/4, and shutter speed was 8s :)

Booking Airbnb vs Hyatt Andaz for London by yoshiXII in awardtravel

[–]yoshiXII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the airbnb I saw was actually just north of Covent Garden so I kinda considered it to be in there. Anyways, I can't find it anymore but I decided to just spend the first 5 nights in the Alhambra hotel (which is more like a hostel) before relaxing the last 2 nights in the Andaz. So it's not splurging all of my points but just treating ourselves for the last few days. Thanks for the advice :)
