Good to know

  • Book at least 2 days in advance. Passport photos of all participants are needed in advance for the travel permit. Prepayment: $10 per person by bank transfer, non-refundable. No Egyptian visa is needed — the Sinai stamp is enough. If you plan to visit Cairo after Jerusalem, tell the guide and the border officer to get a special (free) permit; we recommend visiting Cairo first. Entry is decided solely by the border authorities and cannot be guaranteed by the organiser. If entry is refused, the tour ends for that traveller, who is taken back to the hotel, and $110 per person is retained under the terms of the receiving party. Citizens of some countries may be refused entry at the Israeli border — please check with us before booking

Jerusalem is a city whose history goes back thousands of years, holy to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This trip from Sharm El Sheikh crosses the border at Taba and visits its most important sites in one long day.

What you will see

  • The Mount of Olives — with a viewpoint over the Old City.
  • The Western Wall — the surviving retaining wall of the Temple Mount from the time of Herod the Great, one of the holiest sites in Judaism.
  • The Church of the Holy Sepulchre — built over the place of the Crucifixion and the tomb of Christ.
  • Bethlehem — lunch and the Church of the Nativity.
  • The Dead Sea — a swim in the saltiest water you will ever float in.

I thought Jerusalem was mainly famous for the River Jordan and the places linked to Jesus Christ. But the Dead Sea is nearby too — and people even go there for its healing properties.

Hello! I'm very interested in this offer and planning a trip, but there are a few things I'd like to clarify — I'd be grateful for your help! I'm a beginner blogger and would love to film a short video during the excursion. Are there any restrictions on photos and filming in the churches? And will there be 20–30 minutes of free time at any of the stops for filming, or does the tour not allow for that? I mean the churches and the Western Wall rather than the stops marked in the programme. I really want to go there and film a story for my blog!

Thank you for explaining how to behave when crossing the border with Israel, and thank you in general for a professionally organised trip on both the Egyptian and the Israeli side.
