EXCURSION TO THE HOLY LAND
In addition to relaxing in Egypt, we bought an excursion Egypt-Jerusalem (Israel) - the Dead Sea. The cost of tez-tur is $130 per tourist, there were two of us $260. To the border of Egypt (Taba) and Israel (the city of Eilat) from the hotel Laguna Vista, approximately 3.5 hours on the way. The bus is good with a toilet, no complaints. But things are not so good in Israel. Bus without toilet. Jews on the border, arrange checks, ask a bunch of questions and literally drive along their border, all like a snake. They do not open a green corridor to a straight line, you have to run. I want to sleep, the night and all this fuss is annoying. The cost of the tour includes only lunch without drinks. No breakfast and dinner. If you think about the basic comfort for tourists, they could include at least coffee and an elementary breakfast in the morning. There is no need to change money at the border and in Israel, everyone accepts dollars. Specifically, in the company TEZ-tur, the guide will lead to Palestinian stores, where shekels are not needed. He goes shopping very expensive, so you can buy icons in Russia and other holy things. We took only Jerusalem candles and they can be bought in the Temple for a dollar. Store - $3. The tour is bad, one continuous swindle. We drove hundreds of thousands of kilometers, but the Holy Sepulcher was not shown, although they promised. There are no words. They walked around the whole temple, everyone looked except the main one. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem was shown all over, even the star was shown of the Nativity. Everything is fair here. I really didn't like the guide - Lena, and the guide to Israel Petya, two nihilists. Pay SPECIAL ATTENTION TO NT WHO HAVE HYPERTENSION, DISEASES OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM!!! ! A TRIP TO THE DEAD SEA IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR SUCH PEOPLE, THE SEA IS 413 METERS BELOW SEA LEVEL, 5 hours on the way from Jerusalem, very tiring and the bus constantly goes down like a hill, sick becomes ill, up to vomiting. In insurance, everything is crooked, both the doctor and the treatment, BUT NOTHING REALLY PROVIDES. I FELT ill, THERE IS NO DOCTOR ON THE DEAD SEA, THEY BROUGHT TEA WITH LEMON, THE GREEN BECOMES EVEN WORSE, IN GENERAL IT WAS SO BAD, THEIR TEA "FLIGHTED OUT" FIRST OF ALL. the tour guide said that there would be dinner, and then it was a complete lie, they gave me a bag of water and a roll on the Dead Sea, which after green tea did not climb into me. In general, the excursion is good from a religious point of view, but the Dead Sea was definitely superfluous and not all the holy places were seen. Those who wish to travel to Jordan and Jerusalem, it is better to stay at the Egyptian hotel HILTON TABA 5 * on the border with Israel, a good hotel and convenient for travel, because you do not need to travel 3.5 hours there and back, as a result, you do not shake for 7 hours through the night desert. Successful excursions!! !
