J.
“The tour started off rocky with our group going to wrong hotel, but it was all uphill after that. Bec our tour leader was fabulous and country tour guides were very informative and helpful. We did everything that was stated by Expat and enjoyed all the experiences. Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerusalem were my favorites. The meals that were provided were very good and filling. I was quite pleasantly surprised with the Jordan campsite dinner, which I felt was the best. One of the best travel experiences of my life to visit Israel and Jordan. The people in our tour group were the nicest folks and everyone bonded right away.”

Travel tips for Religious Trip to Israel
Pack wisely and dress modestly. Israel cultural tours take you to several religious and conservative sites. Carry a scarf or shawl to cover your shoulders and avoid showing too much skin.
Be ready for an expensive trip. Israel is expensive in general, and prices tend to go higher for tourists. Carry extra cash at all times.
Learn to bargain in a respectful manner. Although Israel can be expensive, prices can often always be negotiated.
Bring an electrical adapter with you. Most electrical outlets in Israel have a 3 round-pegged prong.
Plan your holiday accordingly. Religious holidays in Israel such as Yom Kippur (the Hebrew Day of Atonement) are strictly observed and everything is closed, including transportation.
