Israel at Easter
Who was on an excursion in Israel during the Easter week, respond. Is it worth it? What will you have to face? I really want to, but I'm afraid of the time to go through customs and the number of people. Thanks in advance.

nata_27, Given that now there are not so many tourists in Sharm, then on Easter you will not face a long border crossing :)

The Israeli tour from Sharm has been operating for 4 years. Every year on Easter week, the tour runs from Sharm in different ways. In addition to the fact that you spend a lot of time crossing the border, you will not get to the holy places, because in Jerusalem on Easter days there are a large number of pilgrims. I recommend from personal experience to plan this tour 3 days before the start of Easter, or 3 days after Easter itself. At this time, you will see the Jerusalem program in full.

I agree with - aisha2010.
There will be a lot of people, and the excursion program will not be in full, you will see little, even if you pass the border quickly ..

And some even specially gather, it doesn’t matter, they say, to visit all the holy places, the main thing is that at that time we will be in Jerusalem. To whom, of course.

Passport and customs control upon arrival is fast. The difficulty lies elsewhere.
This year Orthodox and Catholic Easter coincide. The number of pilgrims to the Holy Land at this time is indescribable. For example, on Holy Saturday, on the eve of Easter, those people who managed to enter, STAND on their feet for almost a day in the courtyard of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, waiting for the descent of the Holy Fire. They stand because they can’t sit down, they stand back to back and shoulder to shoulder. Only a very strong person can withstand this.
Excursions to the temples are also problematic due to the huge number of pilgrims. If you are going to the Holy Land for the first time, I would recommend choosing a quieter time.

Basically, those who have already been on excursions in Jerusalem specially go at this time.
But the main thing is to receive God's Grace if you are there during the Easter week. Maybe holidays don't come around like this anymore. And next time you will take the tour in full.
