We are going to the Dead Sea in August. How and where to exchange dollars? (I plan to buy only mud and salt). Organized transfer, so do not break away from the team. Also, is it possible to pay in rubles?

Salt and mud at the Dead Sea can be bought with dollars. It is not necessary to exchange for shekels. Dollars are accepted willingly. Prices in resort shops are quite high.

yes, I know that. I'm going there in a year. but in shekels it’s really cheaper, and if you compare the shekel with the ruble, then everything is quite acceptable for rubles. Then I looked at how much the dirt of one of the Israeli companies costs on the Internet, laughed. the difference is ten times even taking into account the high cost of the resort. And by the way, it’s cheaper to take buckets. tare weight does not create an overweight at the airport if you carry a minimum of things. but the exchange rate of the ruble and shekel of the sample of 2016 is important to me. the ruble has sunk heavily ...

How much did you buy the tour? it is necessary to exchange at the bank, we can tell you where the bank is located, depending on where you will be, you cannot pay in rubles.

That's right - there are no banks in the resort area on the Dead Sea, and therefore no one will be able to tell ... But there are exchangers. Some. The course is not as profitable as in Netanya or Jerusalem, for example. But better than in a / p (they also take a commission).
Paying with a currency other than the shekel is extremely unprofitable. Even when compared with the conditions in the exchangers at Ben-Gurion airport ... The loss on the exchange rate when paying in dollars reaches 10%, and even more in rubles :(((
Therefore, pay with a bank card and it will be more profitable than all possible options!

alex, thanks. Of course, payment by card is convenient. but I can hardly imagine that dirt dealers (and I plan to buy only dirt) will have devices for cards .... I have a Sberbank mastercard. and to be honest, I have never used the card abroad.

Sberbank cards, both ruble and multi-currency, can be used in Israel. I know this from personal experience - our tourists used such cards to withdraw shekels at ATMs, pay in stores ...
As for the dirt dealers, I don't know them. I have never met either at the Dead Sea or anywhere else in Israel. The fact is that the DEAD SEA mud, which is sold in Israel, is pre-treated at a particular plant. The products are then packaged and shipped to stores. A store that does not accept bank cards for payment is not about Israel. Most Israelis don't carry cash - it's customary to pay with cards for everything except small things...

about the cards - thanks. I will do so. As for dirt, I agree - one hundred percent. every time I myself bring the collected dirt to Russia from the Dead Sea, I go through humiliating moments at the airport. but knowing its effect, I go for it consciously. although this whole ceremony with the screening - well, the right word, is simply humiliating. well, okay. thanks for the advice!
