🏨 The tour offers three places to stay. The programme is the same for everyone — only the hotel and its facilities differ. Availability depends on the hotel and the date, so check when booking.
🎭 The Flying Theatre: guests of the Karavansaray hotel receive vouchers from the hotel itself. Everyone else needs to book it in advance and pay separately.
