So I would really like to spend five weeks traveling in Jordan, Israel and Egypt and then I would like to go up to Greece for another couple of weeks. I will be going in May (hot I know) and the first week of June (hotter probably). I would like to minimize air travel as much as possible and would really like to take a boat/ferry if at all possible. Does anyone have any suggestions for the directions I should go? Like...Jordan --> Israel--> Egypt and then to Greece. Or the other way around or some variation? I was thinking two weeks in Egypt, two in Jordan and one in Jerusalem. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! | ||
There are no advantages to travelling one was as opposed to another - the only thing I can think of is airfare - find out what the cheapest combination of arrival and departure airports and go with that.... | 1 | |
It makes no difference which way you go. Those border crossings are not in the least problematic in either direction. But don't count on being able to get a boat to or from Israel. Reports have appeared on this forum from time to time suggesting that there are boats, but there isn't any regular timetable for them. | 2 | |
You might want to coincide your visits with local holidays or festivals. | 3 | |
