Getting There

Flying to Israel
There are several Airlines that operate nonstop flights to Israel, you can land
either in Tel Aviv at Ben Gurion International Airport or in Eilat at Ovda
International Airport.

Travel by Land 
Traveling between Israel and Egypt and Israel and Jordan - and vice-versa - is
efficient and easy. There are three crossing points between Israel and Jordan
(Sheikh Hussein Bridge [northern Israel, near the Sea of Galilee];
Allenby-King Hussein Bridge [central Israel, near Jerusalem] and the Arava
Crossing [in the south, near Eilat and Aqaba]. The northern Israel-Egypt
crossing point is at Nitzana [near Gaza and the Mediterranean coast] and the
southern crossing point is at Taba, adjacent to Eilat. You will need a visa to
visit Jordan and Egypt (an Egyptian visa isn't required if you're traveling from
Israel to Egypt's Red Sea Coast from Taba in the north
as far south as Sharm-el-Sheikh and then returning to Israel).
