(A) Before and during your tour with Jordan Horizons Tours (JHT), we may provide information about optional activities and excursions in Jordan offered by third-party operators. As these services are operated by independent suppliers, JHT is not involved in their operation and cannot guarantee the accuracy of information relating to such activities beyond our control.
(B) JHT does not guarantee the availability or operation of any optional excursion or activity provided by an independent third party, nor that it will operate as advertised. JHT disclaims any liability in relation to such activities or excursions.

: 2. When These Tours Can Be Booked or Added to Your Jordan Tour Package
(A) These tours are only available for booking if a Jordan tour package has already been booked or is being booked with us, and the tour is added to that package. Standalone booking of these tours is not available unless you have already booked, or are in the process of booking, a Jordan tour package.
(B) If you are traveling independently in Jordan (for example, with a rental car and without a tour package), you may contact the local suppliers directly to arrange these tours on your own.
: 3. Booking in Advance or Booking Once You Are in Jordan
(A) Some optional tours cannot be booked in advance and are available only upon arrival in Jordan. Examples include camel riding in Petra and Wadi Rum, golf carts in Petra, Petra by Night, Petra Kitchen, Beit Sitti, and certain optional tours in Aqaba. These activities can be arranged by your driver or guide, and payment is made directly to the driver or the service supplier.
