of course, from Taba, since Taba is 8 km from the Israeli border.
But if you want a difficult road and a tiring journey, then you can also from Sharm, even worse - from Hurghada - there in general - a flight to Sharm, then a bus through Taba to the border, then on foot through the Israeli cordon, again on the bus - and to Jerusalem.

Better of course from Taba, because closer, from Sharm, if by bus, then only to Taba approx. 3 hours drive. If you take a tour from a tour operator to Jerusalem from Taba, the cost will be $ 200. From Sharma it ranges from 200-300 dollars. It is also possible by plane if the group gets 400 dollars. In general, to visit all the holy places, as expected, it’s definitely better to immediately go to Israel, because if you go from Egypt, it will be a meager excursion, that is, 2.3 holy places, and then they will drive you.

I agree with the previous answer, but it’s a bit boring in Taba, and we left Sharm at about 9 pm, drove 3-4 hours to Taba, stood at passport control for 2 hours, and went to the Dead Sea for another 3-4 hours, then from sea to Jerusalem, in my opinion, about 1 hour to go, but because. it was all mixed up with sleep, I don’t remember well, i.e. night on the road.
In Jerusalem, of course, we didn’t visit much, there one Church of the Holy Sepulcher can take the whole day, and we were shown only 3 places in it.
Therefore, if you want to visit holy places, it is better of course to Israel.

Definitely from Taba. FROM Sharm is very tiring, and the tour operators give a "happy postscript": "we are not responsible for the speed of the arrival of the border" :)

Well, try immediately to Israel, if funds allow)))
I think it’s cheaper from Taba, although in April we traveled for $190 from Sharm (from Tez Tour), but here they write that from Taba $200. Marvelous.
Regarding the passage of the border - we did not stand at all, it took 10-15 minutes (despite the fact that we were traveling on Good Friday before Easter).
At the expense of the tedium of the trip - this is very conditional ... if you went to the pyramids from Sharm or to Luxor from Hurghada or Marsa Alam, then it is much more tiring !!!
During the day of the tour, we managed to see all the sights that were according to the tour plan, it all depends on the guide. We came across an excellent guide Tatyana, she stood straight behind our group with her “breast”) didn’t let anyone go ahead, we were the first everywhere, and therefore everyone looked in the Church of the Birth of the Lord and in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher)))
good luck to you, an interesting excursion and a good guide!

Cheaper from Sharm, where you can buy an excursion in the city for 140 USD. (We went ourselves, we liked it very much). And we were in Taba, so there is only one plus - you can walk to the border, and not drive from Sharm for 3-4 hours. But the cost from Taba is not less than 200 USD.

In Taba, the cost of the trip will be more expensive than from Sharm, as the tour operators explained to us, this is because there is nothing to do in Taba anyway and people go on excursions anyway.

It is not necessary to take excursions from tour operators. On the street in travel agencies you can take 80dol. and also ride in the same bus with all the tourists. No difference. The tour is very rich, interesting, and one not quite sleepy night is worth it. We went in September for 80 dollars. Everything is great.
