  • What your VT hosts may not think to tell you - as VT hosts for Israel seem to think this is something you should find out for yourself or suffer the consequences (and if you do expect them to be able to tell you there is some strange message in there that means you are expecting them to be your social worker, tour agent or psychologist!!) - is that during the Shabbath time there is pretty much NO transport from Eilat up to Tel Aviv - so even if you think leaving Friday for your evening plane on Saturday is an okay plan - be warned - there are NO buses or shared taxis from 3 pm onwards through to 1130 am the next morning - leaving no way of getting to any flight departures on a Saturday other than very late evening planes.

    What you probably wont get told either is that on Saturday there are no buses or trains to the airport either until they start running from whatever time it is Im yet to find out but from midday or later. So you are at the mercy of taxi drivers charging whatever price.

     The waters look very clear -- I would jump in and swim! Norman :)

     Another fabulous little page about your time in Jordan. Interesting warning tip about the transportation during the Shabbath time.

     Jordan maybe will be in the plan of the next trip... thanks.

     That water looks great for snorkelling or diving. Hoping to include Aqaba too after Wadi Rum or Petra.
