The price will include the services of an agent, from Ganna, a guide to Israel, Egyptians are not allowed, plus car rental. Well, I don’t know what else is there, I figured it out to a minimum.
By the way, on a two-day excursion, the only trouble is a visit to the diamond center in Jerusalem, and there is always a mandatory stop at the Dead Sea, and you don’t have to go to a cosmetic boutique, you can immediately swim! In two days we traveled all over Israel, visited all the holy places. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jordan River (bathing). And enough time remains for Jerusalem itself!

Exit from the Hilton at 2 am , to the border on foot 200 meters . Customs as lucky, we passed in an hour. The Dead Sea - Nazareth - the Sea of Galilee - the Jordan River (swimming) - Bethlehem (overnight) - Jerusalem, almost all day, you will see almost everything. Then home again through the dead sea In Taboo!
The Israeli dutik has very cheap and high-quality alcohol - I dare to recommend it!

Alex,
dear, what do you know about the customs and laws of the Israeli state? For example, no one will let an Arab driver into the territory of the Promised Land with you. And there are somehow no others in Egypt.
And in general, it’s easier for you to come to the place, for the first couple of days to ask people who visited Israel, whether you like their fresh impressions or not. Israel is either loved or not. All over the world more and more "no". Can't guess why?
1. You can cross the border yourself if they let you in (there are funny things there).
If you have purchased a tour, you will be met outside the Hilton gates and guided in an organized manner. And in Israel they will be loaded onto Israeli buses with Israeli drivers
2. If you go on your own, do not forget to ask how much per person and in what currency you will need to pay when you go back (a year ago it was about 35 dollars)
3. Then you can take a local taxi (not cheap, like everything else in Israel)
4.
To the bathing place in the Dead Sea to go and decently, a few hours
Regarding "teach you": Jesus did not carry anyone, he said: Get up and go. So you should get up and go if you need to go there, and you will learn everything along the way. Tip: stock up on money... I wish you all the best!

P.S. If you want to enjoy the Gulf of Aqaba (where the Hilton is located, like Taba itself, Dahab and Nuweiba), go on vacation to Jordan. You can visit many more places in the sense of excursions. And enjoy much more!
About Israel, buy the disc "In the Holy Land" and enjoy watching at home. It will turn out much more pleasant. Or go on vacation directly to Israel, with a visit to the city of Haifa.
If you have never seen the true luxury of the Red Sea coral reefs, then go to the Baron Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, it is in a wonderful location! But the price will not be junk, although not quite high.

Dear Beautynatalie! If you think that I am especially concerned about the financial part of the excursions - you are deeply mistaken !! This is first! I don’t want to rest in Israel itself !! I won’t give a reason! Then watch discs on DVD, leave this lot to yourself !!!!! It is more pleasant to touch what you see and see with your own eyes and not with the eyepieces of the camera !!! I'm going to Egypt because my child is resting there!!! And believe me, I have seen enough of the beauty of coral reefs in my life !!!! By the way, the best place for this is how glad I am in Israel in Eilat! There is an underwater observatory in "Marina Park" and the famous Coral Beach Nature Preserve!! I repeat going to my son! So I wanted to combine business with pleasure!))) But I want to go to Israel and Jordan! And I think I’ll find how to go there without any imposition to go to shops and factories from the guides !!! I just asked for advice) But thanks anyway everyone)) And by the way, about the teachings ....
I put smiles there which means a joke !!!!! Be careful !!)))

If you want, I can give the phone number of the Israeli guide, he is our former compatriot, he knows a lot, a wonderful person, we met him during our trip to Jerusalem. I think that if you call him, he will answer all your questions and in general , can there be such an option for an excursion in principle. If you are interested, write in a personal, I'll give you a phone number. As for alcohol in Israeli duty free, it's not of poor quality, at least the hennessy was "scorched".

Of course, an individual tour is more expensive. In a group of 40 people for 190 dollars per day, count the amount, this is for the bus, for the guide, for group tours, lunch, entrance tickets. Or you alone will take a transport, a guide. Plus, of course, they have a decent amount on group excursions, as they bring lunch to lured points, shops, group excursions, receive discounts on group entrance tickets, and so on.
It is really very close from the Hilton to the border, you can walk on foot. But the border guards on the Israeli side are very picky. We had a guy in the group, a Ukrainian, dark-haired, so they barely let him through, sticking a black mark on his passport, he seemed to them like an Arab. So I don’t think that you can take an Arab taxi driver in Egypt and he will take you around Israel. Even group excursions, the Egyptian guide is lucky to the border, after crossing the border he meets the Israeli guide, the Israeli bus and the Israeli driver
.
But from the border to the holy places to go dofiga and more, 6-7 hours. Three hours from the border to the Dead Sea.

Dear Alex,
when people do not have a question of cost, they simply order on the shore (in the city from which they are traveling) an individual tour completely, including all wishes ... It is logical to assume that in this case people do not ask again and again irrelevant questions far from specialists. ..
As for Eilat, this place has the coldest water temperature, below 22 degrees, from which corals die. Beauty is in the Red Sea (for example, the Ras Mohammed national reserve), and not in the Gulf of Aqaba (where the Israeli resort of Eilat is located) ... If you have seen coral reefs in Sharm el-Sheikh and in Eilat, then the comparison is here not very appropriate ... If you spent time in the Gulf of Aqaba in the period November-February, then you will have a completely different opinion ... And the underwater observatory will be more interesting in Thailand when compared with Eilat ...
It is also logical to assume that the principle of selling group tours always includes visiting certain shops, factories, etc. If you want to save yourself from wasting time with planning your tour - this is done by specialists. Again, everything can be arranged here, on the spot...

If you are very interested in visiting the city of Petra (recognized as a Wonder of the World) and other no less beautiful and rich in history places in Jordan, then you really need to go straight to Jordan. The excursion that is offered to Jordan from Egypt is a waste of time and effort (which eyewitnesses tell over and over again from year to year) ...
You can go to Israel from Egypt on a 2-day group tour - very budget and quite interesting, BUT there is one small "BUT": which guide will come across to you. We came across such that it would be better if it did not exist at all. However, this is a completely different story. The next day, a group of our other comrades came across a lady who had given an excursion to our President the day before, that was very interesting!
So if you have a desire to see Israel and the holy places from the best side, enjoy a short educational trip, it is better to plan everything in advance by finding the right guide.
By the way: the organization of group tours by the Egyptians is higher in level than on the spot at TEZTUR and the like. They always call you several times on your mobile during the whole trip and ask how everything is going, if there are any wishes and how else you can help.

You can cross the border both early in the morning and at 5,6,7 in the morning, which is undoubtedly more comfortable. Group tour is calculated differently. Those who order an individual guide are picked up just early in the morning.
The most important thing is a great many pilgrims and just tourists from all over the world and in the 2 most famous temples - the Jerusalem Church of the Resurrection of Christ, better known as the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and in the Basilica of the Nativity - a Christian church in Bethlehem. Therefore, you need to have time to arrive there first, to the opening early in the morning ...

The Jerusalem Church of the Resurrection of Christ, better known as the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, stands on the spot where, according to church tradition, Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and then resurrected. The ceremony of the convergence of the Holy Fire is held annually in the temple.
The modern Church of the Holy Sepulcher is a huge architectural complex, including Golgotha with the place of the Crucifixion, the rotunda - an architectural structure with a huge dome, under which is located Kuvukliya, Katholikon, or the Cathedral Church, which is the cathedral for the Patriarchs of the Jerusalem Orthodox Church, the underground Church of the Finding of the Life-Giving Cross, Church of St. Helena Equal-to-the-Apostles and several aisles. On the territory of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher there are several active monasteries, it includes many auxiliary premises, galleries, etc.
The temple is divided between six denominations of the Christian church: Greek Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian, Coptic, Syrian and Ethiopian, each of which has its own chapels and hours for prayers.

So, the Franciscan Church and the Altar of Nails belong to the Catholic Order of St. Francis, the temple of Helena Equal to the Apostles and the chapel of the "Three Marys" - the Armenian Apostolic Church, the grave of St. Joseph of Arimathea, the altar on the western part of Kuvuklia - the Coptic Church. But the main shrines - Golgotha, Kuvukliya, Kafolikon, as well as the general management of services in the Temple, belong to the Jerusalem Orthodox Church.
Often this division causes conflicts between representatives of different faiths. In order to avoid any misunderstandings between different confessions, the keys to the temple have been kept in the Arab-Muslim family Joudeh since 1109, and the right to unlock and lock the door belongs to another Muslim family, Nusseibeh. These rights have been passed down through the centuries in both families from father to son.

The Basilica of the Nativity is a Christian church in Bethlehem built, according to legend, over the birthplace of Jesus Christ. Along with the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, it is one of the two main Christian churches in the Holy Land.
One of the oldest continuously operating churches in the world. The first temple over the cave of the Nativity was built in the 330s at the direction of Emperor Constantine the Great. Its consecration took place on May 31, 339, and since then, worship services here have practically not been interrupted. The modern basilica is the only Christian temple in Palestine that has been preserved intact from the pre-Islamic period.
Under the pulpit of the basilica is the greatest Christian shrine - the cave of the Nativity. The birthplace of Christ is located in the eastern part of the cave and is marked with a silver star. In the surviving written sources, the cave was first mentioned around the year 150.
The underground temple has been located here since the time of St. Helena.
The basilica has five naves. After its reconstruction under Emperor Justinian, the dimensions of the basilica became 53.2 by 26.8 meters (the length of the transept is 36 meters). During the reconstruction, the eastern altar part of the temple was expanded, an exonarthex and an atrium were added.

The temple is built of hewn stone, the roof is covered with wood. The naves of the basilica are separated by a colonnade of ten columns (there were nine in the Constantine basilica), made of pink Bethlehemite. The columns are crowned with capitals of the Corinthian order. The walls and floor of the basilica are lined with marble; in the upper part of the walls there were mosaics that have survived only in fragments. Initially, the inner space was illuminated by 22 windows, which are currently blocked.
"Gate of Humility" - the main (western) entrance to the basilica. An ordinary person can enter only by bowing his head.
The revered Orthodox Bethlehem Icon of the Mother of God is located near the southern entrance to the Cave of the Nativity.
Armenian altar in the northeastern part of the basilica, near the northern exit from the Cave of the Nativity.
The tomb of St. Jerome of Stridon in a cave under the basilica, where he spent many years. This cave belongs to the Catholics.

Group tours never stop at Duty Free, you can go on your own at the exit if you wish, unless, of course, you live in Hilton Taba and are not in a hurry (or if you are met by an individual car). There is usually no time at the entrance for such a visit.

Yes, by the way: people who do not think about the cost of travel give their children not only trips to Egypt, but they themselves go after Egypt to Jordan, and to Israel, and to Saudi Arabia, and beyond. All this is very, very interesting. Surely nearby in Egypt there are interesting countries to visit. Well, if your son is resting in Egypt, and you want to join him, then continue the exciting journey! I wish you all the best!

I wrote in my review earlier (and I quote):
Regarding excursions: you must definitely buy from the locals, for example, from Ibrahim. He always controls everything in the course of your any trip, often talks with you on the phone (the driver has for this or your phone with a local SIM card, a very profitable connection), corrects along the way, if you don’t like something, Russian speakers are with you tour of Cairo) / English-speaking attendants / drivers. For example, a trip to Jerusalem, Bethlehem and swimming in the Dead Sea (all in one day) cost us $90 each. Despite the fact that we were allowed to swim in the Dead Sea for an hour at 17.30 (after a call to Ibrahim), and the Pegasus bus that arrived with us was turned off (the same excursion costs $ 180 for Pegasus), they were told that after 17 they were not allowed to take procedures in the Dead Sea. And Pegasus did not do anything, the bus went to the hotel ...

I don't have an address or a phone number. Look on different sites in the reviews - people say that Ibrahim's phone is found in many places, many only travel with him (we compared, he is really a good tour operator). However, remember that everywhere there are nuances. What seemed to us to be "punctures" on the part of Ibrahim, others are generally complete failures. Not everything depends on the organizers of the trip to Israel, such are the local "rules". Everything related to trips around Egypt, Ibrahim is wonderfully debugged!

Since October, there are direct flights from Moscow to Taba, which is much more convenient than flying to Shar el-Sheikh and then going to the Hilton. From Taba is now the most comfortable and shortest road to Cairo, which we took advantage of by ordering a 6-six Toyota minibus with an English-speaking driver from Ibrahim with a Russian-speaking guide in Cairo for symbolic money - we agreed with him, he only takes us to 1 store on the way back I brought a souvenir - on the way! because there were only six of us, the stop was short, it turned out to be useful, we bought large souvenirs there at a good price, bargained, and on the contrary bought mangoes in a tent-tray).
