A few questions about Taba.
We fly to Taba at the end of August, Sol Y Mar Sea Star Resort
A lot has been written about excursions, but I want even more impressions from those who visited Israel-Jordan, and specifically:
How physically difficult the excursion to Jordan is, I read about the 900 steps uphill and in the heat, and in the absence of physical training ..
And a few more questions
Is it possible to buy a snorkel-mask in the area of this hotel?
Are underwater cameras sold that are disposable?
Is there a city nearby where you can go for souvenirs?
Thanks

Excursion to Jordan, to Petra - this is an amazing sight!!! We were so impressed by what we saw that there was no question of any fatigue!!! They didn’t hear anything about 900 steps, maybe it’s climbing some mountain? As for the heat - we went in December, so I don’t know what is there in August;) Skin after the Dead Sea is something !!!!!
You shouldn't even bring snorkel masks with you, it costs $5 for slippers, a mask with a snorkel (silicone, cool) -$10. I have photos, but I don't know the price. Souvenirs can be bought right there in Taba on the territory of the Hillton Hotel - the prices depend on your bargaining, very pleasant :) We are delighted with this tour, we were in Egypt for the 3rd time, and it was because of Jordan-Israel that we got high again :)
Have a great holiday!!!!!!

900 steps, this is not in Jordan, but on the mountain of Moses. An excursion to Jordan, to Petra, and to Israel is an amazing sight!!! Physically it's hard, but it's worth it. And Taba itself also made an impression, the mountains are amazing!!! And the flow of masks, tubes and other things is all there in the shops on the territory of the hotel, and much cheaper than ours. There will be specific questions, please contact, I have been to Egypt many times, and I know enough about it. Have a good rest and pleasant impressions!

This hotel is quite isolated. Around nothing but some station. And the shops are also not very close. This makes everything much more expensive. Read the reviews on this site, there are quite a lot of detailed ones. But I think it's better to bring a mask with you. "Solimar" is a very secluded place.

I considered this hotel for a vacation - a flight from Kyiv on August 27 for 2 weeks, but because life "dies" there after 17 hours, I chose 4 * in Hurghada. Although in "Solimar", according to the reviews of my girlfriend, who was there in the advertisement, the company will not be sad. And there are just amazing sunsets! And a good reef

Traveling to Jordan from Taba for about an hour on a high-speed ferry with a huge TV, easy chairs and free juices is absolutely not tiring, but rather pleasant. The tour itself is on the plain, you don’t need to climb anywhere. Not only that, you can ride a horse or a camel if you are too lazy to walk)) But Israel is horror on the wings of the night ... We were dropped off the buses at the border and put in a live queue, in which we stood on our feet all night ( 50 buses of 40 people each)! The result was not a queue, but a crowd that occupied the entire square. People choked, fainted, were crippled on the barriers, on which they were thrown by the onslaught of the crowd. And the Jews launched 6 people every 30 minutes. Therefore, a tour of Jerusalem did not please anyone, because everyone was horrified to understand that in the evening we were waiting for the second sleepless night on our feet in line!!!!!!!

Last summer in July, there were few people on the border with Israel and the mess was on the Egyptian side - we slipped through the Israeli border in 15 minutes.
I liked the trip very much - on the way back and forth we swam in the Dead Sea.
Be sure to go

otaran, The fact of the matter is that it was last summer, and now the situation has worsened. the Jews have finally become insolent and because of their hatred for the Arabs they don’t even understand that it’s not the Arabs who are going on the tour, but the whites ... but because. come from the Arab side, then the Jews consider it necessary to mock us ...

I won’t say about the hotel I was in Hyatt and Interkonintal. Everyone talked about Jordan. And rightly so. Travel to Israel for 2 days. More expensive by 130 bucks, but it's worth it. Only the Tez-tour has such a tour and everything is under control with the border.

We were on an excursion in Jerusalem on July 18, 2008. The departure was at night. There were no queues at the border, both there and back, everything went quickly. The tour was interesting, but tiring. It was very hot, we had to walk a lot. , he told everything in great detail and interestingly. We went through Tour-tess, by the way, they also have an excursion Jordan-Jerusalem. they just cooperate with them. the Kyiv-Sharm flight is bad because it takes 2-3 hours to go from Sharm to Taba, after the plane it is a little tiring.

And one more piece of advice about an excursion to Jerusalem. It’s better not to go on Friday, because on Fridays they have a prayer day, the end of the working week, terrible traffic jams, We stood more than we drove. You can't work on this day.

at the expense of excursions. Sometimes, if you were in Israel, then they may not let you into Jordan. And vice versa. So, for starters, choose the country you want to visit the most. And there, how lucky.

smay28: if there are marks about Israel in the passport, then they are not allowed to enter the UAE, Syria and some other Islamic countries. But Jordan is not on their list. I was on January 2 in Israel, and on the 4th in Jordan, and there were no problems.

About the UAE. A visa to Israel for this excursion is a group one, so the passport will only have a mark on crossing the border. No one ever examines these seals. Therefore, there are no problems. As in fact, with a visa to Israel (who knows how a visa to the UAE is issued, he will understand). But I will not discuss it in more detail, so as not to run into a showdown with Monstress - an aggressive expert.

to Monstress: After Israel, they are not allowed to enter a number of Arab states, but after a visa (!), And not a mark in the passport about crossing the border. Just like how you may not be allowed into Israel (even if you have a visa obtained from the embassy) after multiple stays in Egypt. In this case, you need to have two passports.

Azizam: Unfortunately, you are deceiving yourself. "Entry to the UAE may be denied if there is an Israeli visa or ISRAEL ENTRY STAMPS in the passport".

"In order to protect yourself from the consequences of the "Arab boycott ", you must either agree on affixing a visa and border crossing marks on separate sheets of paper, or after a trip to Israel, change your passport." As the hotel guide explained to me, In Sharm To do this, you need to agree in advance with the guide and pay an additional 80 dollars, which he will give to the customs officer as a bribe. Then the stamp on entry into the country is placed on a separate sheet ..
