The heat will only be during the day, because you will go to Israel at night, and at night you will sleep, and even more so, the bus has air conditioning. Of course, it’s worth going, because Jerusalem is an amazing place, especially since there is plenty of swimming in the Dead Sea! I went from a local agency, good guys, the organization is no worse than that of hotel guides, but you pay double the price for no reason. Here is the Marwan Tours company website redsea.kiev.ua. Good luck with your choice!

If you are embarrassed by the heat, then you are clearly not a resident of sunny Tashkent or the Krasnodar Territory! And it’s embarrassing right, if only 50-55 degrees in the sun, exhausting stuffiness, almost hot water to drink in a bag, and many more similar “charms” are absolutely pleasant and familiar to you! Why torture yourself with historical sights, it is better to spend time in the shade by the sea, where at least some refreshing breeze is available. For excursions, you need to choose a different time of the year. Only then will they give you real pleasure!

Yes, we are from Siberia :) and so much is 50-55 :), although we hope for a better future, but the question always arises in my head - what if it doesn’t work out anymore? :)

Well, then it's up to you! Take a large supply of water, a shower sometimes does not hurt! I think we should always hope for the best! We will live and travel all over the countries and continents!

You will suffer instead of getting to know the shrines, and stupidly sit on the bus with air conditioning, escaping the heat. Definitely refrain from doing this.

Definitely don't need to go. and in the Dead Sea you don’t swim “enough”: the composition of the water is terrible and you simply can’t sit in it for more than 5 minutes. and the first time in Egypt - the sea and local walks will be enough. we were in Sharm 5 times, and went on excursions - so, definitely not

I recommend, since you will visit Orthodox shrines, let’s say, make a small pilgrimage tour, my wife and I went to Israel through Turtez, a Ukrainian travel agency, we were charged $ 150, the guide is chic, she told a lot of interesting things, people from other groups, from other operators approached our group to hear about the temples and Israel itself, in a shop on the shore of the Dead Sea they sell cosmetics, the coolest of which my wife has not bought yet, they regretted that they bought it for only 150 bucks, the cosmetics are really worthy, and it saves from burns, the effect just awesome, believe me, Chanel is resting, she’s worth her money, swimming is not very comfortable just because there are already sunburns at that time, and in the salty water of the Dead Sea, the places of burns pinch strongly, only this way, but the buzz from swimming is guaranteed ...
The only thing that confused me during the whole trip was the store we were brought to, where they sell icons, crosses, etc., the prices, to say exorbitant, it’s just to keep silent, just fucking what prices, we have a pancake in Siberia in icons in jewelry stores are 3 times cheaper, I was in complete culture shock, so you need to buy only the most necessary

in general, as usual, our brother is being bred, as in Egypt itself, drug addicts are all indiscriminate, but it’s worth going to Israel .....

no one says Israel is bad. This tour leaves a lasting impression. But - this is the middle of July, people go for the first time. And if it's max 10 days... we just got back from Sharm. In the shade +42. I just wanted to sit in the water, I didn’t even want to eat. What if it's sunny all day? Do you imagine it? and at least +50 in the shade...

I didn’t go in mid-July, I was in May, from May 9 to 21, to May 13, the temperature was within 37, but after May 13, on May 14, when we arrived in Israel, there was a temperature of about 47-50 degrees, on May 15, when we arrived back in Sharm, the temperature in the shade was 47, such a joke was played with us by the weather, so I can say with great confidence, there is nowhere worse, but tolerable, and in the end, all that we endured, namely , 3 hours by bus to the border, 3 hours in line at the border, and 2.5 hours to the dead sea, plus 1 hour to Jerusalem and then back, it was worth it, though we lost one beautiful large wooden cross and a baseball cap, but me and mine The wife was very pleased with the trip.

Rusov, You can’t even imagine what a big difference it is - mid-May and even early June! We usually go to Egypt on May 5-10, but once we managed to fly on May 26 for 12 days. Sorry a hundred times! at 6 am in the shade - 34-35! The difference is very huge! I'm talking about July! (there were once since July 20) That's why we do not advise the topikstarter to go on any excursions during this period! It is impossible to cover everything and everything on the first visit; for historical excursions, you need to choose a different time of the year.
