We took a tour from Tez Tour (we decided not to take risks on this tour, because there are many nuances with visas, that Arabs are not allowed into Israel, etc.) We were very pleased with the whole organization + the guide. I don't think it's worth saving. You can take tours of Egypt, diving, etc. from local travel agencies.

And how much does the Tez Tour cost for an excursion for 1 person? Is it cheaper to buy Dead Sea cosmetics on the spot or in duty free when leaving Israel?

At that time (June 2009) we got under the action at Tez Tour - there was a significant discount for this tour, so it cost only $160 per person (on their website it was listed at $200). I won’t say anything about cosmetics, because. didn't pay much attention to it. But I think that on the Dead Sea itself it can be more expensive, because. You will have a rest in the resort part. Maybe it's worth looking at, incl. in the shops of Jerusalem itself?

We went on excursions to Israel directly from this hotel in November 2008, we bought from a Russian travel agent (grow up, I lost his coordinates), the cost is $ 100 per person. Bus tour, time-day. A little tiring, but interesting Very much. I don’t recommend it for children. We bought a little cosmetics there, but not a fountain. Therefore, you can not load up. Now this is not a problem at all.

A friend from Egypt returned today. Also esdila from Tez Tour. I took excursions to Israel for $150.
P.S. True, there were three of them - so I made a discount. So bargain!!!

And by the way, the shops that your guide will take you to (regardless of the tour) are not the cheapest. It is better to go to others that are nearby !!! Checked! Prices can be much cheaper!

Of course, it is interesting to learn about the "nuances" of crossing the border, especially where the Arabs have to do, because you are going to Israel, not the Egyptians.
In fact, an excursion to Israel costs $ 95 if ordered without intermediaries in the form of a tour operator. All the tourists whom I helped with the choice of the agency were satisfied, and most importantly, they did not feel deceived, asking how much their neighbors on the bus traveled for.
Dead Sea cosmetics are cheaper to buy in duty free, but there is less choice.

Thanks for the info. We are flying June 3rd to the Continental. I would really like to get to Israel, but my husband and son do not want to. If I find a company, I will gladly go on an excursion.

You will actually have a whole bus for the company !!!
аватар i.sharm
In fact, the company will. Twice a week we send only Russian groups.

Where do you ship from? What travel agency? How much does it cost per person?

You can buy. It's cheaper than from home. But the attitude of the Israelis towards tourists is very bad, especially when crossing the border. They pretend that they do not understand the Russian language and look like an enemy of the people. Plus many hours of standing in line.

Recently we crossed the border on our own, it took 40 minutes, there was an Italian group in front of us. They spoke to us in Russian, when there was a misunderstanding, they called a Russian translator. Take the crossing of the Israeli border seriously, the border guards and customs officers here do not know how to joke, and everything will be fine.

Our Israeli guide Denisa said: "If you are asked if you are carrying drugs or weapons, answer no and NO jokes." :)
