After the events of 04/09, what about the excursions? Especially interested in Jerusalem
Today I read this, a quote: ... on Monday, Israel closed the Taba border crossing near Eilat in the direction of Sinai: it remains open only for tourists returning from Egypt, informs ftimes.ru. http://ftimes.ru/trends/144991-egipet-2017-otkrytie-dlya-rossiyan-poslednyaya-informaciya -na-tekushhij-moment-samye-svezhie-novosti-segodnya.html OK, there are guided tours.

from sinai to jerusalem this is for extreme people - almost two days on their feet, the Israeli customs generally may not let you in without explanation and the fee will not be returned plus home at your own expense, since the tour went further and you went to the hotel ...

We were just in Jerusalem that day, the tour lasts a day, we went there from Nabq for 3 hours, at the border another 2.5 it is considered fast, everyone from our group was let through, but with us 7 people were taken out of the previous one. The tour costs $ 100 from the guide already with a visa, we bought at the airport for $ 25, you could not do this, if they don’t let you in at the border, return $ 70, it’s better not to take it from beachgoers. We went on 11.04. with the guys on an excursion to Dahab, they were supposed to go to Jerusalem on the same day, they seemed to miss it, acquaintances even went to Cairo, everything is fine.

went on 11.04. all three buses missed. excursions were not taken from the guide. Those who took through the guide went through customs 30 minutes earlier and all the differences. Then they constantly crossed paths with them at the Dead Sea, Jordan, Jerusalem.

On the site, the correspondent does not report that the border was closed only to Israeli citizens until the end of the Easter holidays. That is, it does not apply to excursions.

Who has iron nerves, then you can go to Israel, we went on 26.04. out of 4 buses, 3 were missed as the guides said, the Israeli border guards were not very pleased, the question “why did you come to us” was read in the eyes, they rummaged through everything on the phone, pictures, SMS were read, even those that were deleted, very unhospitable, the tour did not look like a pilgrimage tour, but a sale from the guides, they sold only shirts for swimming in the Jordan, water, and so on. dinner was in some tavern where water was put on the table in 1l. wine bottles, you know, there are those with a wide neck that twist, for some reason they called them decanters, food-fu, who still gathers his head and dares to go, take 2-3 liters of water with you. you won’t regret it, and food, respectively, because there will be nowhere to buy, and in the lunch box you will be put a bun and two pieces of cheese and gray sausage, an apple and a box of juice and you won’t have enough.

I’ll tell you all the same, they brought me to a souvenir shop in Bethlehem and then they started handing out coupons at the entrance with a 10% discount (guess whose percentage?) and let’s sell everything - icons, candles, a red thread, etc., although near the Basilica of Christmas Christ, we bought these honey candles 4 pieces for 10 dollars. we spent 1.5 hours in this store, already half the bus began to resent, which means you kicked us out of the Dead Sea and they gave us there to eat-the Dead Sea cosmetics store and plunge into the waters of this beautiful sea for only 1.5 hours and we spend the same amount of time in this store, but where is the tour itself? where is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher? where is the Wailing Wall? - we got there, we were there for 40 minutes. in the end, our guide said, well, now I’ll show you what Golgotha is, but we won’t stand in such a long line, we stood in lines a lot today ... and everyone ran naked after him through the narrow streets to the Wailing Wall, we were given 20 minutes. and EVERYTHING! This tour ended and we went home.

Bottom line: I was in Jerusalem 5 years ago, we were also there for 1 day, but this time we didn’t see 10%, I definitely don’t recommend it, it’s better to lie down on the sand, but for this money, take at least diving and you will be happy, but go to Israel on a separate tour then you will understand this country. All good.

We were on an excursion on April 29 and were very pleased!
When buying an excursion, we were warned about the peculiarities of passing the Israeli customs and that we need to take extra water with us (0.5 liters of water and 200 grams of juice from a lunch box may not be enough). Stop at the Dead Sea shop + breakfast = 40 minutes..
Souvenir shop in Bethlehem - 30 min. They told us why and what kind of icons, candles, briefly about the rest of the products. No one imposed anything, and if they bought several goods, they made a discount. A very well-trained guide (Elena, thank you very much) took me to all the places that were in the program. Yes, we stood in line (there was a service) to touch the relics.
Yes, the meals at the hotel were much better, but even here no one was left hungry. To whom it was not enough, he came up and took it again. Jordan River: many bought shirts for ablution, but those who took care in advance dipped in their own (the main requirement was that the knees were covered and with long sleeves ..

We stopped at the Dead Sea at the end of the tour. Which was especially nice after a hard day and heat. After crossing the border, in Taba, dinner was waiting for us at one of the hotels. No frills, but hearty and tasty. We were in Sharm around 2 am.
I think that the organization of the excursion and the guide himself have a decisive role.
We were lucky in both cases. Never regretted
Water could be bought from the bus driver. Tea, coffee and water could be bought at the cafe where we had lunch. Yes, the prices are still the same, but Israel, in principle, is not a cheap country. This was noticeable in the prices in the market through which we passed.

"In the Egyptian province of El Minya, which is 250 km from Cairo, militants attacked a bus, reports 112.ua with reference to the BBC.
It is noted that the bus was carrying Coptic Christians who were returning from the monastery. The attack took place on the Cairo-Aswan highway.
The militants drove up in cars and opened fire on the bus.
"At least 23 people were killed and 25 injured," the report says.

we were on a similar tour, we liked it. For the money you paid, it's worth it. When else will you get out there separately, otherwise you don’t need a visa, and so on. You can read more in my story here http://www.turpravda.ua/il/blog-193642.html

so when visiting Israel from Sharm, the passport contains entry, exit to nowhere and then entry again. It is not clear where you were for a couple of days. As I understand it, they did this (on a separate sheet) so that tourists later would not have problems visiting a number of Arab states that adhere to a formal embargo with Egypt (there is enough information on the Internet for anyone who wants to find and get acquainted)
