• "PLEASE READ! These are the current requirements before the flight or entry at an Israeli border crossing as of March 27, 2020. Jordanian border crossing details to follow. Please visit ISRAELSAFE.COM and GATEWAY2JORDAN.GOV for the latest updates as they can change rapidly, and it is your responsibility to stay abreast of these conditions for entry, stay and exit during your tour to Israel and Jordan.
1. Take a PCR test within 72 hours before the flight and upon arrival at the Israeli border crossing (Ben Gurion Airport). You must present an official document with the negative test result and your passport number.
If your itinerary includes a connecting flight to Israel and the layover time between the first flight and the flight landing in Israel is more than 24 hours, you must take the PCR test within 72 hours before the departure of the flight landing in Israel.
The following are exempt from presenting a negative PCR result test:
Those who stayed outside Israeli territories for less than 72 hours.
Those who will present a positive result on a rapid (antigen) test at an authorized testing site, or a PCR test, taken less than three months prior, provided entering Israel is at least on day eight after the test (the test date is considered day 1).
These tests will add extra costs, which are NOT included in the tour price. As entry requirements can change, we do not know what tests will be required or the costs of those tests at the time of your departure. Please note that you will be responsible for these extra costs.
2. A health insurance policy with coverage for the treatment of COVID-19 is required. The insurance policy is mandatory to enter Israel. We ask that you purchase insurance to cover your tour costs and any other additional costs if you would happen to have a positive COVID test prior to boarding the flight, upon arrival in Israel, or at any point during the tour and need medical care, quarantine, or a change in flights."
3. Fill out the entry statement form within 48 hours before the flight or arrival at an Israeli border crossing, and as early as possible.
Complete your personal information and details of those traveling with you, a health statement, information on vaccines administered or recovery, and isolation accommodation.

If they are required to enter isolation following exposure to a COVID patient, they will be able to present to the Ministry of Health epidemiological researcher relevant documents.

In-flight
Wear a mask on your nose and mouth (from age 7) and practice social distancing and hygiene.
At the time of your departure, we do not know if Israel will require a quarantine if you test positive. The price of the tour does not cover any Covid related expenses if you are required to go into quarantine or reschedule any flights.
Currently Jordan does not require a PCR test to enter at their land border crossings. However, you will need to complete a declaration form and upload a QR code prior to travel to Jordan at gateway2jordan.gov.jo/form/. In addition, you will need an Antigen or PCR test to board your flight home in accordance with the USA policies. Also, please check with your airline for any additional requirements. Most airlines have a declaration form to be completed before check-in.
Thank you for your cooperation, support and understanding.
