Q
A
How do I know which hotel will be the most suitable
for us?
We’ve made a careful selection of the topmost hotels in
the country, according to price ranges. Each property is
centrally located, has a welcoming lobby lounge, fine dining
outlets and a swimming pool. So you can’t go wrong. Let us
know if you favor the more traditional old-world charm hotels
or the contemporary style hotels with that modern vibe. We’ll
consider your budget and help you make the perfect choice.
And while you’re browsing the hotel choices, take note of the
special room categories included at many of these fine hotels,
some with use of the exclusive Executive lounges!
6
Q
What is not covered in the price of
these tours that will cost me extra?
Our tour inclusions are very clearly
outlined on every program so that
there is no guess work. Cutting corners
and offering a list of “optional” services
is not our thing. We believe in providing
you with the best value for every dollar
you spend and making sure that the
most interesting sites in Israel are covered
on the program you’ve selected. Prior
to departure you’ll receive our special
“Bon Voyage Gift Pak” including
information on suggested gratuities
(guide, driver, hotel personnel) which are
not included in the cost of your tour.
Tips for included meals are covered by
Isram. Rest assured that on an Isram Israel
tour, you’ll see and experience more than
you’ll ever imagine.

Q
Where can I rent a phone for Israel?
Feel free to use the services of
IsraelPhones for your cellular phone rental
or for the purchase of a SIM card. We’ve
arranged for special prices for all Isram Travelers.
Call 1-800-897-9393 and identify yourself as
an Isram passenger. You can also go to

A
Q
Where will I be met when I arrive
in Israel?
Our representatives will meet you inside
the baggage claim area and will
accompany you to secure your luggage and
to the awaiting vehicle for the transfer to your
hotel. And on departure from Israel, you’ll be
amazed at our special VIP service at Ben
Gurion Airport. No waiting on long security
and airline check-in lines. We’ll whisk you right
through and then, you’ll relax and enjoy the
great amenities in the private Dan VIP Lounge
while you await your flight’s departure!
A
Q
What if I have certain dietary
restrictions?
Just let us know. We’ll be sure to
communicate the information to your
tour manager so that a special meal can be
prepared during our included dining together.
A
Q
Can we save and have the kids stay in
the room with us?
Third bed (roll-a-way) or a pull-out love
seat is available in all our hotels for one
child to join the parents. For a family of 4, few
hotels provide 4 in a room (2 must be children).
While there is some savings, the comfort factor
may not make it worthwhile as the room sizes
are not as big as your traditional USA hotels.
Special rates are available for the child as third
in room or for a family of 4 (connecting rooms
are available as an alternative).
A
Q
Are Visas required for Israel or Jordan and
Egypt?
For American or Canadian Citizens, visas are not
required for Israel. Visas are required for Jordan
and Egypt and in most cases can be secured locally.
A
Our travel experts will provide you with detailed
information based on your tour selection. For all
travelers, you must be in possession of a valid passport
with an expiry date not earlier than six months
following the date of your return.
Q
Do you offer Trip Insurance?
We do and at an affordable rate that is not
regulated by age or how much your tour costs.
One flat rate which will include flight insurance if
it’s booked with Isram Israel. See page 97 for full details.
A
Q
I have a late evening flight back. Must I check
out of my room by noon?
Most U.S. bound travelers find that the night
flights are more convenient than the day flights
and domestic connections are more accessible. As
such, a 12:30 A.M. or 1:00 A.M. flight departure time
is not a problem. You can check out any time up to
approximately 11:00 A.M. on the tour ending date.
A
Q
Can I take your group tour but in a private car
just for us?
Absolutely! And best of all, you’ll be able to take
advantage of the group rates at the hotels, while
touring in your own private vehicle with a private guide.
There are some significant advantages in this, one of
which is total flexibility. You are able to change the
site inclusions as much as you like. For example, if you
are an art lover and would like to visit some more of
the fantastic art museums and galleries within each city,
we’d be happy to do this. We only ask that you stay
within the timing of the tour day and pay the required
entrance fee (if any). Otherwise, the guide is always
ready to enhance your experience customizing it to your
own personal interests. See page 42 for more details.

Questions & Answers About Private Car Sightseeing on the preceding tours
Q
What are the advantages of touring by Private Car?
Q
Do we have the same sightseeing on a Private Car tour?
A
TOURING BY PRIVATE CAR
In a private car or microbus you command the complete
attention of your driver/guide. Start a bit later, stay longer at a
site of special interest to you, indulge yourself with a leisurely lunch!
Our guides are flexible and totally interested in fulfilling your needs.
A
Yes! You’ll follow the tours shown on the preceding pages with
your own exclusive private vehicle and guide, and also stay at the
same hotels. (This gives you the advantage of our group rates at
hotels!) In addition, you’ll participate in the unique visits highlighted
in our itinerary, often available only for groups. Therefore, on a few
occasions, you will join our motorcoach passengers for the special
visits at these sites.
Q
Do we join the other tour participants for special meals?
A
If you’re traveling by Private Car, dining will be at the same
restaurants as the motorcoach passengers. You may choose to
be seated privately and not with the group. As an added
convenience, passengers on the exclusive Private Car who
have Friday night dinner scheduled in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem
will dine at their own hotel.
Q
Is our guide always with us?
Q
Does our guide dine with us?
Q
How much extra does it cost to tour by Private Car?
A
The Private Car guide is assigned to you for each touring day and scheduled
evening activities, with the exception of:
Tel Aviv: Saturday Morning Walking Tour.
Jerusalem: Saturday Morning Walking Tour; Thursday Sound & Light Show
If your selected tour includes the above events, you will be joined with our motorcoach passengers for these services; the ISRAMWORLD Tour Host will be aware of your
participation. Generally, the Private Car guide does not stay overnight at your hotel
as other accommodations are usually arranged for him/her. However, do not be
concerned — you’ll always know where to reach him/her.
A
We believe that when you dine, you should do so in the company of your
own family and friends, with private moments to reflect on your experiences
— not to mention, your guide probably needs his “break time” as well! (He will
generally join his fellow guides during these times.) Your guide’s meals have all
been taken care of by us.
A
Please see the chart below, which outlines the appropriate supplements.
Simply, add the per person cost to the basic package price of your
selected tour.

uring your first visit to Israel, you undoubtedly covered many of the religious and
historical points of interest, but were limited in time and therefore may have missed out

General Information
Land & Cruise Services
Hotels: Twin – and/or Double-bedded, run-of-house
rooms (unless specific room category is indicated) with
private facilities. Tour Operator reserves the right to
substitute hotels of similar category. Standard checkout
time from hotels is 11:00pm–12:00 Noon. Guests
checking out later are charged a full night’s rate.
Note: Late evening departures are counted as a
night in the publication of our tours when hotel
checkout is after 12:00 Noon.
Third Bed in Room: there are no “triple-size” rooms
on any program listed in this brochure. A third bed
(rollaway) may be added in some rooms. Prices are
available upon request. We do not recommend such
accommodations for adults.
Meals: As indicated on each itinerary. Lunches or Dinners
at hotels are table d’hôte and limited to specific dining
rooms unless otherwise indicated.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Sightseeing
By comfortable, guided cars, microbus, minibus or
motorcoach. While the best available air-conditioned
vehicles have been contracted for all tours, during
summer seasons, certain areas in Jordan and Egypt
may experience extremely high temperatures, limiting
the air-conditioning capabilities of utilized vehicles.
There are no refunds if such circumstance arises, which
is beyond the control of the Tour Operator. Private
car tours utilize a variety of late model vehicles in
accordance with the standards within each destination,
subject to availability.
Some tours are based on minimum group size. In the
event a tour must be cancelled for lack of participation,
you will be advised at least 30 days prior to departure.
The “Holyland Pilgrimage” and the “Small Group Tour”
are not Isram Exclusive programs. They are operated
by standard, locally scheduled touring with Englishspeaking guides.
Please Note: During certain seasons tours may
operate with fewer passengers than what would
normally constitute a “group.” While many passengers
consider this is a definite advantage, there are others
who do prefer to travel in larger groups. We will be
happy to advise you of the approximate number
of passengers booked on your tour, if you contact us
30 days in advance of your departure. However, please
bear in mind that often the passenger count may
fluctuate up until arrival date in the destination.
Jordan: Tours in Jordan are operated by private cars,
microbus or minibus with driver. Local guides are
used at specified sites per itinerary. With minimum
4 passengers, sightseeing includes services of private
guides. The “Israel & Jordan” tour include a private
guide throughout Jordan. All Petra one-day tours by
bus utilize standard, locally scheduled touring
companies with English-speaking guide.
Nile Cruises: All accommodations are standard
outside cabins. Choice of decks not available. All shore
excursions are included.
All cruise companies reserve the right to substitute
vessels or alter itineraries without prior notice.
Sequence of Tour Programs: During periods of
conventions, congresses, holidays, special events and
any unforeseen circumstances, the Tour Operator may
have to make last-minute changes (subsequent to
issuance of “final itinerary”) in the sequence of the tour.
Tours operating during holiday periods may have changes
in hotels, sightseeing, city sequences and/or inclusions.
98
Transfers and Porterage
Transfers to/from airports, hotels, trains/ports and border
crossings are included as specified in the published
itinerary, provided passengers’ days of arrival and departure
coincide with their published tours. Alterations to the
itineraries result in supplements for private taxi services.
Due to government and international regulations, porters
may not be allowed inside the customs and security areas
of the airport. At the Israeli-Jordanian borders, please
pack light, as luggage carts are not always available.
General Air Information
Air Transportation
Isram Israel can provide air transportation in conjunction
with all land tours, based on the lowest applicable
airfares on all IATA and participating carriers, subject to
the rules and regulations of the class, fare and service of
the individual airline. Should airline schedule changes
result in a necessity to alter the land arrangements, any
additional expense must be borne by the passenger.
Baggage
Please contact your airline or refer to its website for
detailed information regarding your airline's checked
baggage policies. Airline policies vary and may change
at any time. Isram Israel is not responsible for any
excess luggage/ weight charges levied by an airline.
Baggage insurance is highly recommended, as we
cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged
luggage or personal items.
Only one suitcase per person is permitted on all
motorcoach and private car tours

number of remaining passengers touring in the vehicle.
Purchase of insurance may not cover the additional cost
incurred by each of the remaining passengers who wish
