Tour from Sharm El Sheikh to Jerusalem & Dead Sea Day — One unforgettable crossing of landscapes and faith

Sharm El Sheikh to Jerusalem & Dead Sea Day —Leave Sharm’s sun-drenched shores at night and arrive at two of the Middle East’s most memorable places by morning: the surreal salt flats of the Dead Sea and the layered, sacred streets of Jerusalem. This carefully timed day trip combines a unique border crossing experience with guided visits to the Mount of Olives, the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — plus the chance to float in the Dead Sea’s buoyant waters.

Detailed itinerary — from Sharm to the Dead Sea and Jerusalem

Pickup & border crossing (night departure)

Your hotel pickup in Sharm El Sheikh is late evening (about 20:00). You travel by air-conditioned coach to the Taba / Eilat border. Prepare for passport checks on both sides and an arrival in Israel in the early morning. (Tip: bring passport + full visa where required.)

Dead Sea — float and (optional) mud treatment

First stop after the crossing: the Dead Sea. Take 30–60 minutes to float and try a mineral mud mask — a bracing, Instagram-ready experience. Facilities vary by operator (some include showers and towels, others request you bring swimwear and a towel).

Jerusalem — Mount of Olives panorama & Gethsemane

Arrive in Jerusalem and start with a panoramic view from the Mount of Olives — the perfect first photo of the Old City and the Temple Mount. Descend to Gethsemane to see the ancient olive trees and the Garden’s small chapels.

Old City walking loop — Jewish, Christian & Muslim quarters

Follow your guide through the Armenian and Jewish Quarters to the Western Wall (the Wailing Wall), where visitors often place prayers in the cracks. Continue along the Via Dolorosa, the path believed to trace Jesus’ final steps, and enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — a layered, contested, moving space venerated by multiple Christian denominations.

Lunch & free time

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (buffet in many packages), then a short window for souvenir shopping in the bazaars or a brief visit to nearby sites like Mount Zion, the Last Supper Room and the Dormition.

Return crossing and late drop-off in Sharm

After an afternoon in Jerusalem you’ll retrace your route to the border, pass immigration, and complete the coach transfer back to Sharm, typically arriving after midnight.

Practical tips & essential notes

• Passport & visa: a passport is mandatory. Visa rules depend on nationality; confirm requirements before departure. Tours often help with border fees but always check.

• Dress code: modest dress is required at religious sites — shoulders and knees covered. Women may be asked to wear a scarf inside some churches and mosques.

• Timing: this is a long day (overnight bus + border times). Bring ear plugs, a neck pillow and a light jacket for the bus.

• Dead Sea kit: bring swimwear, flip-flops, towel (if not provided), waterproof phone pouch, and a fresh change of clothes. Avoid shaving 24 hours before floating.

• Cash & cards: carry small cash (USD, EUR or local currencies) for souvenirs, tips or optional extras. Many stalls accept cards in Jerusalem but small vendors may not.

• Best photos: Mount of Olives at first light, the view across the Old City and the Dome of the Rock; Dead Sea close-ups of salt formations at waterline.

Accessibility & safety
