Ordered an excursion to Jerusalem from Egypt for one day not at the hotel guide, but directly at the local company Egyptian Treasures Tours, cost an excursion of $ 75, which is 50 percent cheaper than the official representative of our company. The cost of the excursion included a management guide, visiting the cosmetics store "Gifts of the Dead Sea" and parallel to swimming on the dead sea about one hour.
Swimming in the Jordan River from the Israeli side (free passage). The only one in order to plunge into the river, a special decoration is required, which costs from 8 to 10 dollars.
After that, the bus is heading to Jerusalem. Then follows the excursion to its progress on the old town, directly to the temple of the Holy Sepulcher. Next, we passed 5 stops of the Cross Way.
Pedestrian tour of the cry of crying. After that, the city of Bethlehem - where Jesus Christ was born. On the way, it is proposed to visit the Christian Souvenir Store. Prices here are high enough. So, for example, one wooden cross will cost about 3 dollars. Magnet costs from 3 to 10 dollars. Further, it is also included in the cost of the excursion, lunch in the restaurant (buffet), the dishes are not indispensable, but in general is not bad. Baking, sweets and drinks for an additional fee.
The excursion is very saturated, often had to move on foot and stand in line to the shrines for 3 hours, so for children I would not recommend and the people of old age can also not make such a load. In general, the excursion liked, but it is better to come here in more free days from pilgrims, so as not to stand in the queue of 6 or more hours. That's actually, everything, I will add from myself that it is better to take with you as much as possible food and drinks, because Jerusalem is a very expensive city. The cheapest bun can do in 3 dollars, and hot dogs about $ 7.
