The cost of tour operators and on-site street agencies is different, local ones are cheaper.
I liked Jordan, but not Israel very much. I thought it would be the other way around.
In principle, there is nothing to fear, and there and there it is the same.
Regarding excursions, I contacted on the Internet before the trip, on the spot you can ask at the hotel or at the Hilton in the bazaar, they have an office

It is worth visiting Israel: to see with your own eyes, to touch the shrines, to leave a note in the Wailing Wall. Is there anywhere else you can do this if not in Israel? A lot of impressions. Also buy in the Dead Sea.
There is nothing and no one to fear.

Beware of hotel guides, they are ripping off with terrible force and also intimidating, as if the locals are cheating, do not believe it, this is even in Turkey. From Taba, Israel is $10 cheaper, you can go for $80. Marvan Tours is well organized, and they make discounts if you book a lot of excursions! In short, think!!!

Take Israel + Jordan, you won't regret it. November 2010 traveled from Taba. Super impressions. The local 300-320 dollars. Operators for 80-100 dollars. expensive.

The only thing to be afraid of is the guide at the hotel))).
Well, to be afraid, this is of course loudly said, you need to send him to hell and that's it. Guides intimidate and hang packs of noodles...
I traveled from a local company (All Egypt) in October 2011 on an individual tour to Israel, I was more than satisfied. was not in Petra.
If you are interested in details, write in person.

Holy places in Jerusalem, the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, the Nativity of Christ and the Dead Sea are worth seeing! We ordered a taba tour through the Internet. Much depends on the guide, we had Semyon, a kind of uncle Sem from the USSR. As a guide, so-so ... The main task of all guides, between the Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the Nativity of Christ, is to lead you to your "correct" store where prices are 3-7 !!!!! times higher than in ordinary shops in Jerusalem. Everything that you want to dedicate in the temples of Jerusalem, it is better to buy at home. Since icons of crosses are usually brought to all friends and relatives, candles save a lot. Guides specially drive around the city in such a way that if you stop at another shop along the way, there is every chance of losing the group. On the way from the bus to the Church of the Nativity, there will be shops in which prices are much lower. You can return to them after you take a queue to the grotto of the Nativity of Christ. When we returned from the temple to the bus, local sellers ran up to us and offered exactly the same icons (50 cu each) as many bought in Uncle Syoma's store for (200 cu.) Prices in the temples themselves are also very expensive. By the way, when leaving Taba, during customs inspection, many were forced to check in candles in luggage, in hand luggage

during customs inspection, many were forced to hand over candles in luggage, you can’t carry them in hand luggage !!! In the turmoil, the people returned, packed, I'm not sure that everyone later received at least - even intact. I was lucky, I did not hand over, I put it on the tape behind the cameras, the customs officer - the Arab did not notice. Therefore, I advise you to prepare a tube in advance and in your luggage.
The road to Jerusalem is a tiring gray desert on both sides, but they usually go there at night, you can sleep, and a stop at the Dead Sea brightens up the way back. Dead Sea products are cheaper to buy in duty free when returning, but the choice is far from the same as in a store by the sea and the duty free itself is not very good, sweets were bought, with a surprise, namely small ants !!! By the way, Taba airport, you can say there is no duty free at all !!!
Another tip is not to take Israel + Jordan (especially if with children), it’s very tiring, acquaintances went, they arrived absolutely exhausted, better separately, to Jordan by ferry.

I will add. Change small dollars in advance, 1, 5, 10 each. Useful for buying souvenirs in the Arab shops of Jerusalem, and for donations in temples.
