Jerusalem
Tell me, please, are there excursions to Jerusalem now (I heard that they were suspended due to the terrorist attack)? And is this tour worth it? I heard a lot of different reviews, but I want to decide, because. excursion is not cheap (from Hurghada about 300 bucks). We are going on holiday in the middle of May.
Thank you.
Thank you.

On 18.04 we went from Sharm El Sheikh to Israel - $230 through an operator, our friends went through a street company for $90 and are also very satisfied. In my opinion, it’s worth going. If you don’t count the passage of customs, then the exc itself. not very difficult, but very interesting. When will you be able to see the holy places like this again?

It's definitely worth the trip. I didn't hear about the suspension of tours.

I advise you to go to Jerusalem when you rest in Sharm (or Taba) - much closer and cheaper. From Hurghada it will be too tiring.

Leave this excursion for the next time - it is very tiring even if you go from Taba (and it is located on the border), and if you go from Hurghada, then from the impressions you will have the road, and the border, you will not want anything else !!!

We went from Taba in March - 140 dollars. We were lucky with customs, the tour is no more tiring than to Cairo from Hurghada. But it seems to me that the ideal option is from Taba, because it takes much less time on the road than from others places. And you must go.

It must be understood that this is not an easy excursion, this is a pilgrimage to holy places. Before the trip, I recommend buying the book "Orthodox Shrines" so that you have a clear idea of what you are about to see. Everything is stated in this book in a very accessible language.

Best of all from Taba, we didn't go from Sharm as we felt, because the bus was held at customs for 8 hours, people returned in such a state, it was scary to look at them.

Of course the answer is YES! Through the tour operator 220 USD, through the local - 100, the Dead Sea is super. We left at 20:00 and arrived the next day at 23:00. Both lunch and dinner were laid, but they were left without dinner - here's a tour operator for you ... From Sharm to the border, a 6-hour drive, and then about 10 more - all the time almost on the road, but a lot of impressions (new people, mentality, culture, beliefs). If you go with a tour operator. Tez Tour, then you will also visit Bethlehem (Palestine), it was cool, they took pictures of the streets, cars, people right!

I went on April 15 from Sharm from a tour operator. $ 230, the tour is interesting, but tiring,
it is better to go from Taba (from Sharm to Taba 3 hours by bus), the Israeli border crossing is pedestrian, but long, we crossed three hundred meters for 1.5 hours,
but sometimes it takes up to 6 hours due to the excessive vigilance of the border guards. Take plenty of drinking water with you, the heat is sweltering.

The Israeli guide brought to the souvenir shop where you could buy candles, and icons, crosses, etc., warned that there would be no more opportunities to buy, but on the way to the Temple of the Lord, they passed through the market, where everything could be bought, but the prices were 3 -4 times lower, however, the time for shopping in the market was short.
