Hey Laszlo,
Tx for the prompt reply! OK..I'll do as u suggested. A follow-up question: other than the email I rec'd telling me that you replied, is there another way I'd have known? I was on the messages tab, logged in, and didn't see any indication. Tx again!

As a resident of Merida, for every person that has exclaimed to me "wow, I can't believe how many tourists there are here" I have had another tell me "wow, I can't believe how few tourists there are." My guess is the same occurs in Oaxaca. It all depends on your experiences and expectations.

When we Reach Eilat we‘ve already Been in Jerusalem and the Dead See.
Is it Worth to stop at Amman ?

I Unterstand That the Prices depend on my

bargaining abilities ;-)
But can‘t you Tell me what is an Average Price or a fair Price ?
Thanks

I think I have answered all of these questions already in posts #7 and #9. The Dead Sea and Massada are near Jerusalem and should be visited as a day trip from there. Akko, Nazareth and Haifa are all possible to visit as day trips from Tel-Aviv but not all on the same day. What do you want to see in Haifa? If only the Bahai Gardens & Shrine it can be done on the same day as Akko. It is time to finalize your itinerary and work out the logistics! Post here for comment.

All interesting thoughts. What I would do once in Cuba is different from my actually getting there in the first place. If I’m actually able to get there, everything else falls in place with plan b, c, or whatever. Time will tell. :)

I'd recomend following this itinerary but cutting out the section going North. An easy way to add on Petra (especially if you are flying from Tel Aviv) is to just do a tour from Jerusalem. Abraham hostel offer it as a 1 day or 2 day tour and they use a female Jordanian guide who is absolutely brilliant!

Here's my suggested itinerary: https://www.theordinaryadventurer.com/travel/2-week-itinerary-israel/

Personally having spent a fair bit of time in both countries I'd just focus on doing Petra in Jordan and not worry about seeing anything else. Israel is better suited for a quick visit with lots to see and do.

Hope that helps! Happy to answer specific Qs :)

We can't tell you how much money you need until you tell us what your lifestyle is like, that is, what level of accommodation will want (how many stars?), will you eat at fancy tourist restaurants or street side taco stands, self guided or guided tours, rent a car or public transport, etc.

If it was me, I'd take at least 200 USD, but your lifestyle might be different than mine.
