visit the holy places of Jerusalem
I want to visit the holy places of Jerusalem and swim a little in the Dead Sea. Help me choose a tour, if possible not expensive. I'm coming from Kyiv, is it worth it to go in the middle of summer. I have a lot of questions. Please give valuable recommendations. Thank you

It is very hot in Jerusalem in the middle of summer. You can take a vacation at the Dead Sea, and from there, individually with a guide, visit what is most interesting to you. I have a phone number of a Russian-speaking guide in Jerusalem, write in a personal.

Indeed, it is very hot for both Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. But it is better to go if this is the only possible time. Many tips can be found in my review: http://blogs.turpravda.com/Olessair/28259.html

I would advise you an individual trip - firstly, you are your own boss, and secondly, it is much cheaper. Now you don’t need to apply for a visa, you can find cheap flights, it’s very easy to book a hotel, you can also pick up and book excursions at home. My review of an independent trip:

Although the reviews of Olessair are beyond competition, I printed them out for myself before the trip :-) Be sure to read it!

I am for an independent trip, everything can be solved without problems! and save a lot. If you are interested in treatment at the Dead Sea, then it is worth staying there, for other reasons it is enough to visit M.m. on an excursion (you can take a couple if you are going to Israel for at least 12 days). Holy places are not only in Jerusalem, so it’s worth thinking about traveling around the country. I think it’s better to visit the main sights for the first time with excursions (buy them on the spot), depending on finances, decide what is best for you: an individual guide or an organized tour ( I recommend contacting the Metroclub travel agency in Tel Aviv, resolve all issues with them, call by phone, all information on the website: www.metroclubonline.com)

Thank you very much for the replies. I'm traveling alone for the first time and I'm a little scared to travel on my own. Although I am for independent, because I would like to save money and look more consciously. I would like to discuss in more detail. How to do it. What does it mean - write in a personal.??? Thank you

Certainly more expensive. The advantage of an individual tour is that the tourist chooses the program himself, chooses the shrines and monasteries that he would like to visit, and does not drag around diamond exchanges, lured souvenir shops, etc.
If the budget of the trip is limited, individual excursions will definitely not fit into it. The first time you don't need them. In Kyiv, you can find out about trips to the Holy Land in any monastery where there is a pilgrimage service, for example, in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, they will definitely help you there. But already for the second, third time you will know what seemed most interesting to you and plan the trip program yourself. Have a good trip!

on the site http://www.egged.co.il (there is a Russian language) you can plan any trip. settling in Jerusalem and going to rest on the Dead Sea is cheaper than vice versa. on the 421 bus to Ein Bokek 1.5 hours. better in the morning before the heat. three visits to the sea for 20 minutes (more harmful) and home. The ticket costs 47 shekels one way.

for excursions, too, I recommend only Metroclub and in no case Travellux. In the Metroclub, ask for exactly those excursions that Alexey leads !!!!!!!!!!!!! do not settle for other guides.

Private guide is expensive. For a tour of Jerusalem for the whole day, they asked for 450 dollars. If you are two or three couples, then this is profitable, but if you are 1-2 people, then of course not.
But here the conversation is rather that if you are an independent tourist, you have the opportunity to individually choose excursions. In mini-groups (up to 15 people) -60-70 USD. from a person.
We chose exactly what we wanted and exactly on the day when it turned out. At the same time, without adapting to someone. This is the beauty of traveling without a tour operator.

Exactly. And further. The most experienced guides work with individuals and mini-groups precisely because of the increased requirements for the quality of excursions. In addition, such groups are more mobile, they pass the queues to the shrines and paid objects of inspection faster.

About the guides in the Metroclub, I personally went with three, undoubtedly Alexey is interesting, but the girls tell just as well. Therefore, you should not get hung up on Alexei, maybe he will have a week of vacations and why sit and wait? In general, thank God there were no boring guides there.

I also had a chance to travel with different guides from Metroclub and Travellux. The Metroclub guide Slava is only good for 6th grade high school students, and he's also a terrible nationalist, although he comes from a multi-ethnic Union.

I also traveled with girls. I especially liked one. speaks like a central television announcer. good diction. assigned voice. Maybe she took acting classes. well, actually, that's all. as you said "they say no worse." only all she said was water. I judge as churched.

and if the purpose of the visit is holy places, get up early, go out before the heat (at 7 in the morning it is already more than 35 degrees), the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, for example, is already open at 5 in the morning, but from 10 there will be crowds of tourists.

As far as I know, tourists are not taken everywhere, for example, under the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, there is a lake where Queen Helen drew water when excavations were carried out. I had a chance to climb up there and draw water only when I independently climbed all the nooks and crannies of the temple and the surrounding area.

and in Russian churches and monasteries feel free to ask questions. the nuns themselves will tell and show everything. here is the tour. representatives of the Jerusalem Patriarchate, the Russian foreign "White Guard" church are especially keenly interested, they themselves are interested in how things are in Russia.
