Where and from whom to buy an excursion to Israel and Jordan? Prices? For two days or one day?
Crossing the border on your own and if possible, then what can you see and buy in Eilat?

I bought from Sharm El Sheikh two excursions for 1 day, but at different times. If you have money, it is better to go immediately for 2 days to Jerusalem and Petra. I bought both excursions from a local firm. In my opinion, they also take tourists from Taba. For information, see my Turpravda:

since you will be in Taba, I advise you to take it separately.
but from Sharm you definitely need to go right away

I agree, it’s better to take a two-day trip from Sharm so that you don’t have to go back and forth 2 times. So it comes out cheaper if from Sharm.

If you are planning to go to Eilat, keep a receipt with a barcode, you can use it to go there without paying a fee at the border each time.

about "where and from whom" some practical advice has already been given here, but about "two days or a day" they were mainly considered from the point of view of economy. It's not about saving money - just a 1-day excursion to Israel - it's a couple of hours on the Dead Sea and then running around Jerusalem. the guide hurries everywhere, did not let us stand in line at the temples (like - there is a queue for 3-4 hours). In the Church of the Nativity of the Lord, we agreed with him, and already in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher we simply rested that we would stand as long as necessary,
and in reality the queue was not so long as the guide threatened - we stood for 50-60 minutes. And it was not just that they stood idle, the guide continuously worked and talked, so that the time was not wasted.
Of course, in a 2-day excursion they don’t drive tourists so “in the neck”, it’s calmer. The only question is that it is far from always possible to take a 2-day one - not always people are recruited for a group. Yes, and it depends on you - are you ready to spend 2 days of your vacation on excursions ...

I went on a 2-day Israel-Jordan from Sharm. I liked everything very much. Night in Jordan, in Aqaba. We walked near the hotel, sat in a cafe, very good coffee, hookah, many shops, bought coffee with cardamom and nuts. And in the morning we went to Petra. The excursion is very interesting. 2 days, 2 countries, a lot of impressions. I liked it very much in Jordan, the guide was excellent, he told a lot of interesting things about the country. We were tired, of course, but we arrived very satisfied.

No, not far, the passage of the Israel-Jordan border was very fast, a little more in the minibus and now we are at the hotel in Aqaba.

The city of Aqaba is on the other side of the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. It is clearly visible from the Egyptian Taba and the Israeli Eilat. Accordingly, Taba and Eilat are also clearly visible from Aqaba, which are very close, they are separated only by the border zone.
When tourists go on a 2-day tour "Jerusalem + Petra", in the Eilat area, they are transported from Israel to Jordan by bus and they very quickly find themselves in Aqaba.
During a 1-day excursion to Jordan (Petra), the bus arrives at the port of Taba. Further - by sea. The Gulf of Aqaba is crossed in 40 minutes by high-speed ferry. You can see all this in my gallery on Turpravda:

We flew in from the Hilton a week ago, we bought tickets at Ahmed’s car market, don’t bother with the Internet, the prices are the same, the crossing is very easy after the tour. Valate, apart from the embankment, there’s nothing to see the oceanarium sucks 25 bucks in Eilat, the calculation is only with sheikels, change immediately at the hotel after the border, get on the bus price 9.5 sheikels and to the shopping center the prices for everything as in Russia for water are 3 times higher, write at the post 2643823 "rambler.ru I will answer all questions were Izril and Petra

Back and forth is not very similar from Taba to Eilat!! Israeli border guards almost undress to their underpants when crossing the border, stupid questions like: Are you carrying weapons? Don't try to joke! You will be very sorry!!! The only plus is a good dutik at the exit to Egypt, 2 times cheaper than the Egyptian one!
