| Israel | Egypt or Petra for an Alte Kocker Posted: Wed July 23, 2008 07:33 PM UTC
I am in my late 70's, I play golf 3X a week and am in reasonably good shape but am otherwise sedentary. I will be in Israel in May and I would like to take a few days to visit Petra and/or Cairo and the pyramids. Can anyone offer me guidance on how costly, strenuous or physically taxing either of these trips would be? Also, since the trips would originate and terminate in Israel, I would appreciate suggestions on Israeli tour agencies, preferably in Jerusalem.

I am planning to visit the Holy Land next year with a friend. We plan to go for 10-14 days and are looking at two tour companies...
Has anyone traveled with LeSea Tours and/or Classic Pilgrimages (thru Gate 1 Travel)? What were your impressions? What did you like/dislike about the tour? Or, have you used another tour company that you loved? Any advice/input is greatly appreciated! |

I think I know the answer to my question but would like it confirmed if possible - I've tried reaching the appropriate consulates by 'phone/email but to no avail.
Travelling on a UK passport, do I need a visa to return to Israel from Amman, Jordan? In September I'm on vacation in Israel for 2 weeks then go on to Egypt/Jordan but will return to Israel for a days prior to returning to Canada. Thanks in advance. Louisa |
