1. Do not worry when arriving and departing at the airport when you are subjected to a thorough check. Such is their system. I was kept for 1.5 hours upon arrival. But on the other hand, they did not inspect at all during the departure. Others checked every thing. It's hard, but nothing terrible. Just be ready for it and stay calm.
2. If you have chosen a fully sightseeing tour to Israel, then the best period is February. In February, the decline in tourists and you will be able to see every shrine, which is simply not approached at other times.
3. If the air temperature in Israel is 10-15 degrees, then it is cold. After reviewing the forecast on the site, I thought that I would wear a T-shirt with a light windbreaker. Really very cold wind. The guide explained that you need to subtract 5 degrees from the temperature on the site and then you will understand what the weather will feel like. But not hot for excursions. For me, this is a huge plus.
3. Be sure to goggles from the sun. Even though it's cold, the sun can be so bright it's hard to see
4. Necessarily comfortable shoes without heels. To easily walk 5-10 km a day
HOTEL
All rooms have a view of the beautiful sea, which is very close. There are many Russian speaking employees. Everyone will explain and help. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Refrigerator, TV with 3 Russian channels. Very comfortable bed - mattress, pillow, blanket. The duvet is thin but very warm. Constantly hot tea and coffee in the lobby near the restaurant. In the lobby and in the lobby near the restaurant wi-fi with a fairly good speed. Hairdryer without problems give out at the reception. The breakfasts are very tasty. I am a meat eater, but there was such a varied buffet that I did not feel the absence of meat at all. If you leave for a tour at 6:10, arrange in advance that there is something to eat at 6:00. A small drawback of the hotel - shabby corridors. But this is such nonsense compared to the rest. In addition, you will appear at the hotel at 18:00-20:00 and you will not care about anything except hot tea : -)
FOOD
The hotel is excellent. The city has many restaurants and fast food outlets. Portions in restaurants are such that you can feed 3 people. Everything is very tasty. The cost is 18/20/25/30 dollars (I did it that way). If you order meat / fish, then do not ask for another side dish or salad. All this will be brought in addition to the main course. I was hoping to eat shawarma in the wild. But I really didn’t like it - the pita bread is thick, the meat is tough and tasteless, the salad and sauces are few and tasteless, it costs 13 dollars. I really liked the falafel (similar to the taste of our fried potatoes) and hummus (like a chickpea pate with spices). If you haven’t finished eating, calmly ask to pack with you in restaurants. Everyone does it. You can safely go to restaurants in jeans and even in a tracksuit. Everything is very democratic. People live for their pleasure. Of course, there are chic restaurants, but this is not in my review. Excellent pomegranate wine. When you are on an excursion to Jaffa, be sure to purchase. The cost is from 28 to 34 dollars, depending on the volume.
The hotel will recommend a restaurant in London. I do not advise. The food is delicious, but I didn't like the disrespectful service. A bunch of free waiters, and they won’t even come up to take an order or you won’t wait for another service later. Nearby there is a restaurant Seafood. The waiters just fly and warn with a smile every desire.
EXCURSIONS
Jewish guides are great. The stories are very interesting, often humorous.
Jerusalem is a city of 3 religions - amazing. The main thing was to get to all the holy places that were in the program. Of course, there wasn't much to see. I will come again for sure. In the Church of the Holy Sepulcher there is one of the greatest shrines - the Stone of Anointing. He is myrrh-streaming. You can dedicate gifts, icons, crosses, handkerchiefs, etc. on it. If you need a lot of gifts (for relatives, employees), buy handkerchiefs (this must be done in your own country, they are not sold in Israel) or key chains. Attach each thing to a stone and it will be saturated with holy myrrh - the best gift from a holy place. Do not forget to also collect tiny notes from loved ones and lay them on the Wailing Wall.
Galilee, Nazareth - also very interesting. In the Temple of the Multiplication of the Lord's Bread, there are tame carps in the pond. There are also almost tame catfish on the Jordan River. Take some bread to feed : -)
Diamond Exchange, Jaffa. It is not interesting on the exchange (unless, of course, you want to buy something) An ordinary jewelry store. Jaffa - cool, but not as enthusiastic as in other places
The rest of the excursions were in Jordan. You can purchase them in Israel itself. But only Petra was impressed.
Jarash is an ancient ruined city. Interesting. Sunglasses are especially needed here.
Petra - after Jerusalem, the most magnificent excursion. This is the capital of Nabatea. Buildings carved from solid mountains. Go there through the most beautiful gorge.
Amman, Madaba, Mount Moses - nothing like that.
SHOPPING
Clothes are more expensive than ours. Strawberries 2.8-3 dollars / kg. Cosmetics are very good and expensive. I brought all sorts of holy souvenirs and pomegranate wine for gifts.
OUTPUT
Overall, an amazing country. We have made incredible progress in a short period of time. Agriculture in the desert at the highest level. I WILL COME MORE DEFINITELY
