Tell me, please, where is it cheaper to buy Ahava cosmetics?
Is it worth buying silver and gold there, and where can I buy an icon and candles on an excursion to Jerusalem?
In Eilat do they give "tax refund" in stores?

When you are on a tour in Jerusalem, you will be taken to local souvenir shops. Here you can buy icons, candles and much more. I bought gold in Israel, I don’t complain about the quality (I bought crosses, etc., not sets).

Thanks a lot! Do you know if it is possible to book excursions at local travel agencies and not from a guide (they have excursions to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea for $ 140-150

I have never used the services of local travel agencies, so I can not help with this issue.

You can order, easily and simply, all excursions are the same, what difference does it make who will take you to the Holy places. Souvenir shops in the old city of Jerusalem are a dime a dozen, all inexpensive. If the guide leads to the store and praises it, then the prices will be inflated and the guide will be fed there. You can buy everything yourself along the way. "tax refund", i.e. tax refunds are given in large stores and starting from a certain amount, like from $ 200, I don’t remember, check with the store. Return at the airport upon departure from Israel, and they give both in dollars and in euros, if desired. Have a good trip!

Excursions were taken on the spot, all travel agencies give approximately the same prices for excursions (175 shekels), which is about $ 43-45, which is much cheaper than $ 140. But even here, the local guide will take you to a tourist shop with price tags in euros or bucks, there you quickly visit the toilet, drink some water from the cooler or tea, coffee and visit the shop opposite, where everything is the same but already cheaper by at least 3.5 times, because. the same price tag was denominated in shekels! (Candles in a shop for tourists $ 5, opposite 5 shekels). The icon can be bought there. I didn’t take gold, but it is known that Israel is famous for its diamond exchange (it’s not cheap!) Will you live in Eilat? Simply the best prices for Ahava's products are not on the Dead Sea, but in the pharmacy of Tel Aviv and Netanya.

Thanks a lot! I'm going on vacation to eilat, and I'm planning 2 excursions (dead sea, jerusalem). What about tours in Russian? well organized? Of course, it's much cheaper. I don’t have money for diamonds, maybe a silver or a gold ring? Do you know if you can swim there at this time? I looked at gizmeteo - the weather is from 17 to 29.

The main thing is that there are no waves on the Dead Sea (waves are extremely rare there). I think you can swim in the Red and Dead Seas. When traveling to the Dead Sea, leave all jewelry in the safe of the Eilat hotel (only real gold does not oxidize), silver jewelry oxidizes even in storage cells located 500m from the sea!
Excursions in Russian, half the country speaks it, incl. on the bus you can meet locals who want to know their country. Metroclub is organized by our emigrants, all guides are former residents of the USSR, only on their website find out if they work from Eilat! If not, then contact another Russian-speaking local agency, the prices are the same for everyone. I can’t say anything about the prices for cosmetics in Eilat, if possible, look at the price tags before going to M.M. to compare with the prices of the Ahava factory store (full of good M.M. cosmetics with lesser-known brands and cheaper -IHMO)
