i went to Petra last year, i used the eliat border to get into Jordan, they let my teffilin right through. -got gorgeous pics there, worth every penny!
how long did you go for? when i went it was just a daytrip hence no need for tefillin
I also tried but didnt have enough time.I did a 24 hour trip, left tlv to amm in the evening, taxi to petra, slept in petra, toured that day, taxi to eilat, dinner in eilat, flight to tlv. 10pm-10pm, nice 24h trip
i went early in the morning and only returned m inutes before border closing. i wanted to go to gabel harun (aaron haCohens kever) but i never made it there. if i would have it would require a night stay
3 hrs on a donkey isnt fun
Anyone here ever been to, or transited through Jeddah, Saudi Arabia? Do you need a visa if you are transiting not there but on two separate tickets?
