My wife and I are going to Israel
My wife and I are going to Israel in late August - early September. Let's go for the first time. We are going to go savages, we want to go to Jerusalem, Jordan, Eilat, the Dead Sea for a couple of days. In total we will be up to 10 days. Interested in relaxing at sea and visiting interesting places. Where is the cheapest place to rent a house? How much money to take with you? Where is the best place to go? Where is the best place to eat? Maybe some features?

You need to be very well prepared for an independent trip. Do your homework: schedule a route, choose hotels, means of transportation, an excursion program ... If you are interested in the services of a private guide, then contact the PM, if you have questions of a general nature (specific), then you will receive plenty of answers here. How do you handle heat? In these months, Eilat and M.M for 40...

Are you planning to visit Jordan or visit the Jordan River?
For Jordan, you need to open a visa ...... Although the cost of living there is the same as in Israel.

Cheaper housing in Netanya. From there, take group tours (from $60), as solo tours are sooo expensive. When I went on 02.2014, the ticket was more profitable than going wild. For example, Jordan (Petra), if you go only for the sake of Petra for 1 day, then the cost is 3 times more expensive.

Yes, Tana999, that's right - group, of course, cheaper. And if you book not one at a time, but immediately a package of 4 excursions (3 excursions + a survey of Tel Aviv - Jaffa from the Diamond Exchange), then each will cost about 40 dollars instead of 60-65 !!!

Tours from a tour operator are often cheaper than booking online. Especially when it comes to holidays in Eilat on the Red Sea.
I would also like to add a few words to my colleague's information about excursions. Yes, group flights are not expensive, especially if in a package and BEFORE departure to Israel. But as far as quality is concerned, customized is better. If a large family or a company of 4-5-6 people is traveling, then the difference between a group and an individual tour is not so big!

Now a few words about the question of the program. For the first visit to Israel, I recommend to draw up a program for yourself on the basis of one of the most popular combined tours "TWO SEA - Mediterranean and Red" - see details here:

Just put in the middle of an overnight stay in Jerusalem. You will have excursions from Netanya, free days in Jerusalem, a beach holiday in Eilat on the Red Sea. Dead Sea - passing through, on the way to Eilat.
As for Jordan, either a 3-day sightseeing tour (then either more days, or without Eilat), or 1 day to Petra from Eilat.

Just returned from Israel. We went wild. Including 3 days were in Jordan. Israel has become quite expensive! Please note that August-September is the high season, in addition, August is a continuous vacation for the Israelis themselves who have children (all schools and kindergartens are closed). Perhaps you have economical combined tours, it is better to use them for the first time, while looking for 3 days in Eilat, then on the spot you can really buy a 1 day tour to Petra (Jordan). Or, without wasting time, urgently buy tickets and book accommodation (in any case, renting apartments is decently cheaper than hotels!) Netanya, of course, is one of my favorite cities in Israel, but I recommend considering accommodation in Bat Yam (this is practically Big Tel Aviv) at the same time, apartment prices are cheaper, there are excursions to any point in Israel and beyond. And yet, plan your trip so that you don't get on the Jewish New Year. Good luck! Ready to answer any questions on an independent trip, write in a personal.

The above prices DO NOT INCLUDE pick-up and drop-off at the hotel after the tour. If someone stops in the private sector, then there is no problem. And if in hotels, then 42-45 dollars is cheaper than 51, and more convenient (selected excursions are offered for 100 shekels and not from all cities).

Yes, indeed, Alex is right, for 100 shekels you can buy excursions only from cities such as Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, Netanya and a number of others along the Mediterranean coast, as a rule, excursions from Jerusalem are more expensive. But is it worth paying extra $ 15 / person. for picking you up and driving you back to your hotel?! In my opinion, it is not so difficult to approach the meeting point, even when staying at a hotel, we always reached the meeting point ourselves. On this trip, we took all excursions around the country for 100 shekels, except for the evening Jerusalem with a laser show (150 shekels, including the cost of a ticket to the performance).

We will be in Jerusalem for a few nights. We want to go on excursions from there, so it is interesting to know how much more expensive excursions are from there?

Not more expensive - the same package of excursions for $125.
Tour descriptions and schedules can be found here:
http://www.classictravel.ru/uslugi-v-izraile/gruppovye-ekskursii
The price, of course, includes the arrival of the tourist at the hotel and return to the hotel after the tour. The alternative - excursions from the "collection point" is not an option ... Only those who live with relatives or friends, as well as those who rent an apartment in the private sector, are forced to buy excursions from a certain place in their city. Not by choice, but out of desperation :(
Any adequate person understands that it may take 10, and 20, and more minutes to walk there. And after the tour, even worse, back ... Or by taxi, but it costs money.
In addition, buses are almost always late, so you have to stand in the heat and wait, wait ... In winter, another problem is rain. If you get wet on the way or while waiting, then you can forget about the pleasure of the tour!
