ffas21, of course, this trip is not easy because it takes more than a day, but as Karina-Mango wrote above, it's worth it, my tourists say the same thing. Tiredness will pass in a day, but the impressions will remain for a long time !!! So it's up to you.
Karina, I can dispute this point :) ''crossing the border takes about 40 minutes'' - You can never predict the border, some stand for 40 minutes, and others even more. Everything is different for everyone. Yes, now when there are almost no tourists in Sharm and they pass in 40 minutes.

Excuse me, why is the crossing. And not the crossing. Are the buses comfortable? Will smokers withstand the crossing? Or will there be stops?

Crossing the customs-border sometimes takes 45 minutes, and sometimes if there are a lot of people, then up to 3 hours, they ask questions, in no case should you joke. Everything is very serious, you will see for yourself. Everyone returns happy and inspired.

And the crossing is because you first cross the Egyptian border in Taba with things, then 5 minutes along the neutral line, and now the Israeli crossing point, and on the other side other Israeli, comfortable buses are waiting for you, stops are provided both in Egypt and in Israel.

The buses are comfortable. There is only one driver. There is an accompanying police officer on the bus. An hour after leaving Sharm, at the fork in Dahab, a stop for 15 minutes. You can safely smoke. Another hour and a half and you are at the border. change of bus for everyone and tour operators and others, because the tour is organized by the Israeli side and the Egyptian side delivers tourists to the border and back. Everything else has already been explained to you. The border is not predictable. Stop at the Dead Sea. Breakfast is necessary order at the hotel. The excursion program around Jerusalem is the same for everyone. All guides from the Israeli side speak Russian.

I'm talking about the current situation, I myself go with tourists 2 times a week, that's why I say that the last 2.5 months have been about 40 minutes, plus or minus, of course ....
Buses are non-smoking, in Egypt there is one stop for 15 minutes, and in Israel at least 2 for 15 minutes ... so all smokers can smoke ...

Karina, I'm sorry, I know that you went with tourists to Israel. But I often go there - the escort and our buses are unlucky, more often we passed the border for 1.5-2 hours. And let the tourists know that this is not uncommon, that they wouldn’t be outraged later. Yes, now there are not many tourists and everything goes faster, but in 5 minutes no one has run through the neutral line.

I wrote that it takes 5 minutes to go along the neutral line, and this is true, from the Egyptian checkpoint to the Israeli checkpoint there is a neutral zone, which you pass in exactly 5 minutes. The rest of the time is waiting in line at the Israeli checkpoint.

and I kindly envy those tourists who are going to Israel now. How much free time, or rather more time is devoted to places of worship, everything can be easily seen, touched, imbued with the Eternal.
Everything else is particular, and besides temporary.
Good luck to all!

Sorry girls. I know you both went to Israel. And in order to get to the Israeli checkpoint, you can stand in neutral for as long as the Israeli customs want. That's why I wrote: . , the influx of tourists is not great < everything goes smoothly without taking much time at the border.>

I advise you to go for 2 days. You will see more (more than one desert and Jerusalem), you will swim in the Jordan, look at other places. And get tired less. Of course, it's more expensive, but it's worth it.

Karina, three years ago I went to Israel for two days, so our program on the second day included a visit to Lake Kinneret, lunch there, a boat ride on the lake, a visit to Tabgha, and then only Jordanite.
Whatever the program of visiting Jerusalem is, and whether it will be a difficult excursion for you or not, you definitely need to go.
Tourists, do not even think to go or not. Yes Yes Yes!!!

So the program is the same, only the sequence is different ... it happens both on a one-day excursion and on a two-day one .... Depending on the number of groups in a particular place ... the guide chooses the sequence himself ....

the trip is very dependent on the bus. I was lucky - the bus from Sharm was small and uncomfortable. Then in Israel we were transferred to a larger one, but it is also not for long journeys. Very tired, it was just a nightmare. And the trip was wonderful.

hello. hello. just arrived today from egypt-everything is cool. went to israel- really liked it- looked a lot because people are not quite a big flow. the borders crossed in one breath. part of the way - the bus is crowded. the seats are rearranged - there is not enough space for the legs - the toilet does not work - it is very difficult to drive - mountain roads with large elevation changes of about 1200 meters - the ears were laid down not childishly. but in Israel the bus is super. - he told very interestingly and a lot, but he only drove to his souvenir shops - it’s not very pleasant to overpay and a lot. but nothing could spoil the impression - everything is class

Yes, great impressions.
And at the expense of souvenirs - the guide gets his percentage.
How to say business.
We were so screwed up too. Were stingy at prices three times more expensive.
Especially our compatriots sold us cosmetics from Dead Sea minerals.
