Hi,
Can you please give to me the detail on how you get to Jerusalem from Cairo,did you take the bus ride from cairo ? where in cairo is the bus station to Jerusalem
Report Abuse
If you look at Day 5, it states that I flew from Cairo to Israel. Unfortunately there are no buses that go from Cairo to Jerusalem, at least not directly. Its a short flight. I think its an hour, but you also lose an hour because theres a 1 hour time difference.

Which airline you used from Cairo to Israel? I'm searching online and don't see any airline doing that route. Thanks!

It was an El Al flight, Cairo to Tel Aviv.
