People don’t get out to the Middle East very often and often figure if they’re coming this way they might as well see Petra in Jordan or the Pyramids in Egypt. Frankly you should’t begin to compromise your Israel itinerary for sites in Jordan or Egypt. If you can the best option is to increase your Middle-East stay from 10 days to 12 or more days. We notice that when people get involved in their itineraries they realize that they want to see more of Israel. On their next trip they can go down to Eilat and see Petra too.
