Tentative Itinerary...

...for Israel/Jordan/Egypt.
I have decided not to visit Lebanon, as Annie will be flying into Rome around May 15th, and I am on a time crunch. Instead, I am focusing on Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. I don't really like to plan, but because I have limited time to explore these places, as well as a limited budget, I have to.

Depending on which day Annie flies into Rome, I'll either tack on a few days to Sinai or a couple days for Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. I decided to forgo staying in Haifa and Akko because accommodation in both places is out of my budget. Instead, I'm planning on day trips.

Here is my fifth revision of an itinerary;

4/21: London to Tel Aviv
4/22: Tel Aviv
4/23: TA
4/24: TA
4/25: TA to Nazareth
4/26: Nazareth
4/27: Naz, day trip to Haifa
4/28: Naz, day trip to Akko
4/29: Naz to Tiberias
4/30: Tiberias, or to Jerusalem
5/1: Jerusalem
5/2: Jerusalem, day trip to Bethlehem
5/3: Jerusalem, day trip or overnight stay to the Dead Sea
5/4: Jerusalem, or Dead Sea to Jerusalem [depending on if I spent the night]
5/5: Jerusalem
5/6: Jerusalem to Petra
5/7: Petra to Eilat
5/8: Eilat to Taba to Dahab/Wadi Gnai
5/9: Dahab to ST. Katherine's Monastery and Mt. Sinai
5/10: St. Katherine's to Cairo
5/11: Cairo, day trip to Alexandria
5/12: Cairo, day trip to the pyramids at Giza
5/13 or 5/15: Fly Cairo to Rome

Any tips, recommendations, or anything else would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
