Kawar Tours Review – A Week In Jordan

Posted on by Alan @ MorePassportStamps.com in Blog, Jordan, Reviews

A review of Kawar Tours is important to anyone wondering how to visit Jordan and which company to book with. Anyone can use a travel agent in their home country to book for them, but since working on the Kawar Tours review we have seen a lot of reasons to use a local company such as Kawar Tours as Jordan still relies heavily on personal relationships and local knowledge. Kawar Tours is is the travel and tourism arm of Amin Kawar & Sons. Our itinerary included some of the best highlights of Jordan, including Petra, one of the 7 wonders of the world.

My trav-hell to the Maldives

Posted on by Alan @ MorePassportStamps.com in Blog, Maldives, Updates

Sometimes travel tests your patience. The ones that keep up with the More Passport Stamps Twitter account will know that I am currently in the Maldives (alright for some). However, often you have to go through hell to get to heaven. My original plan was to get a lift to Birmingham Airport, fly with Emirates to Maldives (via Dubai) then get a seaplane to Meedhupparu, my first Maldivian destination.
