What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

Very nice & cozy environment with so many lights to delight you from the sunburn of the day. Huge attention on tourists safety, lots of souvenirs shop, good local leather products, coffee places & ice cream bars, etc. It’s a very good try combine city life with local attractions.

Tiran Island: A Jewel in the Red Sea Crown Nestled at the entrance of the Strait of Tiran, where the azure waters of the Red Sea meet the Gulf of Aqaba, lies the enchanting Tiran Island. This sun-kissed gem, once administered by Egypt and now under Saudi Arabian sovereignty, beckons travelers with promises of adventure, marine wonders, and historical intrigue. A Maritime Crossroads Tiran Island’s strategic significance transcends its modest size—an area of approximately 80 square kilometers. It forms the narrowest section of the Strait of Tiran, a vital sea passage connecting the bustling port of Aqaba in Jordan to the vibrant city of Eilat in Israel. Here, ancient trade routes converged, and modern vessels sail, weaving a tapestry of commerce and culture. A Diver’s Paradise For scuba enthusiasts, Tiran Island is a sanctuary. Beneath its crystalline surface lies a kaleidoscope of marine life—vibrant corals, elusive seahorses, and schools of tropical fish. Dive into the embrace of the Red Sea, and you’ll encounter the Jackson Reef, the Woodhouse Reef, and the Thomas Reef—each a living canvas of color and movement. The currents dance, revealing shipwrecks and secrets from centuries past. The Ghosts of History Tiran Island’s past echoes through time. During the Suez Crisis, it briefly fell into Israeli hands, and from 1967 to 1982, it remained under Israeli control after the Six-Day War. The island’s sands have absorbed the footsteps of warriors, traders, and pilgrims—a silent witness to the ebb and flow of empires. A Playground for Water Adventurers Whether you’re snorkeling, windsurfing, or sailing, Tiran Island invites you to explore its shores. Glide over coral gardens, where parrotfish dart and angelfish pirouette. Feel the wind in your hair as you windsurf across the turquoise expanse. And when the sun dips below the horizon, gather around a beachside fire, sharing tales of the day’s exploits. Chisholm Point: Where Land Meets Sea At Chisholm Point, the island’s rocky cape, you’ll witness the union of earth and water. Here, the waves caress ancient stones, and seabirds wheel overhead. As the sun paints the sky in hues of gold and crimson, you’ll feel the pulse of nature—the heartbeat of Tiran Island. A Journey Through Sovereignty Tiran Island’s fate has been debated, its borders redrawn. In 2017, Egypt officially ceded sovereignty to Saudi Arabia, marking a new chapter in its storied history. Yet, as travelers step ashore, they sense that this island belongs to more than nations—it belongs to the tides, the winds, and the dreams of those who seek its shores. Practical Details Access: Boat excursions from Sharm El Sheikh offer a gateway to Tiran Island. Activities: Snorkel, dive, or simply bask in the sun. Remember: Respect the delicate ecosystem; leave only footprints. As the sun sets over Tiran Island, casting shadows on its ancient rocks, you’ll feel the pull of the sea—a timeless call to explore, to connect, and to cherish this jewel in the Red Sea’s crown. May the waves carry your wanderlust, and may Tiran Island forever enchant. 🌞🤿

A Life-Changing Experience at Mount Sinai Climbing Mount Sinai was truly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The journey is both physically challenging and spiritually uplifting, offering a deep connection to nature and history. Starting the hike under a breathtaking blanket of stars, the peaceful silence of the desert night feels almost sacred. The Bedouin guides were exceptional—kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone’s needs. Along the way, the small stops to enjoy tea or coffee at the Bedouin huts made the trek even more memorable, adding warmth and local charm to the experience. Reaching the summit just before sunrise was beyond words. Watching the first light break over the vast, rugged mountains was not only stunning but deeply moving—a moment of pure awe and gratitude. On the way back, visiting St. Catherine’s Monastery added another layer of wonder to the trip. The history, the Burning Bush, and the quiet reverence of the monastery made it clear why this area is such a spiritual landmark. I’m so grateful to have been healthy and strong enough to complete this journey. It’s not just a hike—it’s an unforgettable adventure that leaves you with a sense of peace, accomplishment, and connection. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate. Mount Sinai will leave you changed forever.

Simply serenity. Great calm warm blue waters. Nice servers but not much to offer in this secluded spot. Not easy to get to. Bumpy road then a boat ride then another bumpy ride.

Would spend there all day. An established place, but it keeps renovating all the time. The shark aquarium is so relaxing and exiting at the same time! The underwater observatory facility is a must. Note- a single ticket is good for a couple of days, so if you want to visit more than once (and you should) plan accordingly.

Absolutely loved it! The dolphins were so cute and the entrance was gorgeous! Defenitatly recommend if you are coming to Eilat. I would recommend to come early in the morning if you want to choose a good spot to spend the rest of the day. It gets crowded but there are still a lot of places under the trees to hide from the sun. The water was super clear and security was okay.

Beautiful desert park, 20 minutes drive from Eilat. Mainly car trails with sightseeing or trekking stops, historic sites, an artificial lake, a restaurant and activities for the kids. Accessible in extreme heat or pleasant weather alike. A lot of the park is wheelchair accessible.

Amazing and worth the trip. You can't enter and it's around 2km walk from the visitor center and you can walk down and enjoy the views. Take the electric buggy back to the visitor centre. Avoid warm periods. Make sure you take your ID with you as entry fee differ from one nationality to another. Jordanians get the cheapest entry fee Arabs pay JOD 30 Non-Jordanians and non-Arabs pay JOD 50 Take a tour guide unless you did your research and know what you are looking for.

amazing world heritage site! Start early in the morning at 06:00 when the gate is opened. You avoid a crowded place at the most important sites and can enjoy them nearly alone. After that go for the less crowded hiking trails during the day when all the coaches and groups arrive around 09:00 to 10:00. Parking in front of the main gate is free. Walking from the main gate to the Treasury House takes you 30-40min. If have the Jordan Pass you have to grab an official ticket with qr-code at the main building. Avoid all the unofficial guide offerings on the road and in the city. If you need a guide, organize at the main gate. There are several (food) shops, toilets and two restaurants along the way. Please respect this place. Follow the instructions for paths etc. Many people ignore them and throw their waste away. Don‘t act like silly tourists or go home.

Amazing experience, from here you can see the surrounding lands and mountains that carry into neighbouring nations. The detail of the monastery is sensational and unique as upon arrival Celine Dion was playing out of the monastery from massive speakers. It’s a memory I’ll never forgot. There’s also a shop when you arrive, be prepared for a hike however as it is steep at times and you can’t ride there on golf cart like other sites. This is an amazing hike, it will take you around 30/45 minutes and it is steep along the way there’s plenty of vendors conveniently placed to offer you some water or other drinks. It’s 100% worth the journey though!

The Mizpe Ramon crater is the closest most of us will ever get to feel like we are exploring another planet. It's a surreal geologic experience. Taking a four wheel drive in late afternoon is a must do. If you are in Israel you need to do this crater. It's easy to get to by taking a train to Bersheeva and then a bus to the small town of Mizpe Ramon. We spent 2 nights in a hotel on the rim so had plenty of opportunity to photograph sunrise, sunset, and moonrise. The hotel had a grand all you can eat breakfast.

The Dead Sea is a fantastic place to visit. I am not generally a big fan of the beach, as my light skin tends to burn easily, but I think that if you are in this region a visit is worthy. The sea itself is extremely salty of course, but the said salt levels make the water buoyant so that one can float which is a lot of fun. Plus, the mineral rich water is good for cleansing the skin. The mud under the thin layer of sand under the water is world famous for its properties and is FREE here. All you have to do is dig a little. The only thing that stopped me from spending longer in the healing waters was that I got some of it in my eye. The healing water turned nasty and decided to burn so I had to rush to wash my eyes out. Learn from me and keep some water near the shore and your head out of the water. I covered myself in the mineral rich mud and treated my skin to a treatment that would cost a fortune in a New York or London spa and all was good again. The Dead Sea is a magical place and in my opinion is one of the many things that makes the area known as the Holy Land holy. I implore you all to visit before it vanishes into a salt flat and the world becomes a little less special.

I went up for the sunrise and going down at 7 (in June) was already super hot so idk how people do it during the day. Honestly I didn’t look at a lot of pictures what to expect up there. Drove up in complete darkness and got the light when I was 1/3 up the snake path and was amazed and it kept just getting more and more breathtaking. If you are hiking up keep in mind there is very little shade on the way up and up top they built a few shelters but most of it very open.

The Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem is one of the most powerful and educational experiences in Israel. It offers a deeply moving journey through the history of the Holocaust, combining personal stories, historical documents, and multimedia exhibits that bring the past to life. The museum doesn’t just present facts—it helps visitors truly understand the human impact of the events and the importance of remembrance. It’s an essential visit for anyone who wants to learn about the Holocaust in a meaningful and thought-provoking way.

The church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (as part of Jerusalem’s Old City) and contains artifacts like Crusader-era graffiti and Byzantine mosaics. • Excavations and repairs often reveal new insights, such as the 2016 uncovering of the original rock surface of Jesus’ tomb, confirming its historical continuity.

Fully spiritual place No matter where you come from the place has so much emotions to it Nothing like touching to wall that was built over 2000 years ago and is unchanged since mind blowing not like any other architectural/ archeological counterpart.

Visiting Mount Nebo was an unforgettable experience. This historical and spiritual site offers stunning panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem on a clear day. You truly feel the significance of the place where it’s believed Prophet Moses stood and viewed the Promised Land before he passed away. The site is well-preserved and peaceful, with beautiful mosaics inside the memorial church and friendly staff who are happy to explain the history. There’s a small museum as well, and the surrounding gardens are very calming. It’s best to go in the early morning or late afternoon for better weather and lighting. Don’t forget your camera — the scenery is breathtaking! Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, religion, or just a peaceful place to reflect. 🇯🇴✨

Excellently preserves Roman theatre. Entry cost is cheap and includes the very interesting Folk Museum. Climb to the top of the theatre and get a feeling of what it must have been like to see a play almost 2,000 years ago. It’s also very lively with families

The Amman Citadel is a truly remarkable site that combines layers of history and culture. Walking through the ruins, you can feel the connection between ancient civilizations — from the local traditions to the legacy of the Roman Empire. The location itself is breathtaking, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of Amman that makes it a very special place to visit. In addition to the ruins and the view, there is also a well-organized museum on site. The museum is filled with fascinating artifacts and very important historical pieces that reflect Jordan’s rich cultural heritage. It adds great value to the visit, as you not only see the structures but also understand the history behind them. I highly recommend visiting the Amman Citadel — it is a place where history, culture, and stunning views come together, and it should be on everyone’s list when exploring Jordan The Amman Citadel is a truly remarkable site that combines layers of history and culture.

What better way to enter Roman Ruins than thru this great entrance. The Adrian Gate. There are parts that are clearly restored but it's massive and impressive.

What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

It is amazing the way this place is well preserved with almost everything intact in comparison to the same structure in Athens. Underground it has a museum where you can see the all the artefacts as well. Entrance fee is way cheaper compared to the one in Greece also. Place is not busy with tourist for some reason, there was only one group with french people and few travelers. Must visit place for anyone traveling to Lebanon, recommend it.

Hatay has been a very important location in all its history which spans thousands of years. This museum with its colossal size is just a deserving place to house this history. With its amazing mosaic and roman collections, this museum is worth spending hours. The conceptialized rooms and sections are unique in Turkish museums.

Really amazing experience! Take you’re time and enjoy all the little paths. Make sure you have head torch with you it’s a huge help in the dark spots. Pack light with just a little water and you’ll have an incredible time! 13€ entry which is well worth it! You can pay for a guide once you’re in they are generally around 10€-50€, they are very knowledgeable if you get the right ones.

We visited the Göreme Open-Air Museum with a group of 8 people. Since it was midsummer and the temperature was extremely high, we only stayed for about an hour, especially because our group included elderly members. The site itself is marvelous, especially if you enjoy walking and can spend a few hours exploring. However, I would not recommend visiting during the summer, as the heat is intense and there is very little shade.
