Outside is an unsightly box. A room 4x5 meters with two beds pushed together near one headboard. Despite the tightness, there are two bedside tubes with table lamps. One of them could well be reached by the open front door, but it is prevented by a single chair that prevents the door from opening completely. Like the countertop of the washbasin of the bathroom door))
The floor lamp prevents the doors of the closet with the safe from opening and approaching the window. There is a refrigerator with a mini bar, a TV about 29 diagonal (1 Russian channel), a light-proof curtain and tulle smoky in several places. View of the forever empty pool of a neighboring hotel, but looking out the window you can see the sea. There are enough hangers in the closet. It’s hard to find where to dry things conveniently, if you don’t take into account a floor lamp ...
But, fortunately, there was a place for a kettle - tea and coffee were attached to it. Air conditioning...
Standing in the bathroom, a two-meter person will rest against the ceiling, reflected in a large mirror. A 1200 W hair dryer is not very good, but it is inherent in many hotels - in order to dry your head, you need to constantly hold the button. Shower accessories are included. The seams of the tile dream of repair, because it will not work to wash it.
For this country, this four is rather weak. The hotel has two lifts. You can’t find the second one the first time, because you need to open the door with the handle yourself - apparently an old one. There are some pictures in the lobby. The location of the hotel is not bad - the sea is close, the infrastructure is developed. Wifi is free but only in the lobby. True, from nearby hotels you can sometimes catch someone else's Wi-Fi))
The breakfasts are ok, and the vegetables deserve special praise - they were fresh everywhere throughout the trip in Israel. Sweets are good, but monotonous. There were still afternoon drinks and light snacks.
General theses on the tour itself "Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Dead Sea - Eilat":
- in October the weather is what you need - up to + 26-30 in the afternoon (it is hotter in Eilat - up to + 33), only one day it was cold in Jerusalem 14 - 19 it seems;
- at least the Red Sea was left for later, but it's not like in Egypt - I somehow liked the Mediterranean more;
- Tel Aviv is a very mobile city - at least the embankment is teeming with citizens running and riding everything from scooters to bicycles. There was no other place like this in Israel;
- everything is very expensive;
- for the Internet, it is best to use a local SIM card and use the phone as a modem or as an access point - about 100 - 150 UAH will cost a Gig or two traffic valid for a week or two. There are other proposals - it is better to buy the operator, which will be, upon arrival until nothing is closed. The SIM card itself costs about 30-40 dollars and score whatever you want on it - the Internet or conversations. Lots of interesting suggestions.
And excellent data transfer speed!
- when ordering dishes on the embankment, specify whether to order a salad, because almost all main courses come with a bowl of freshly cut vegetables - actually quite a good salad and in large quantities;
- it is striking that on excursions, apart from drip irrigation and the army, the Israelis have nothing to be proud of ...Ask the guides! And on trips to Jerusalem, beware of large groups, because at least you will hear little, and at most you will get lost. Taxis are expensive...
- after swimming in the Jordan River, they will later tell you that this is not the same place, but another - specially organized by the Ministry of Tourism ...Although what difference does it make for a believer where to plunge! If there are souvenir shops before the river, then you will be offered to buy Christian shirts in advance - such as it is more expensive on the river. Yes, more expensive. But! There are synthetics in the shops (and there are also dumb shirts, with some word reminiscent of baptist ... ), and cotton on the river.
Well, all these tourist rascals in addition - a certificate + free rental of towels and locker rooms to boot. It should be remembered that after dipping in a shirt, you can never twist it, wash it, iron it in your life ...It is used as a type in the treatment of serious ailments. Do not forget swimwear for such an excursion, otherwise a wet shirt "glows". We were lucky that we "sanctified" three shirts each at once - for loved ones. So everything worked out, but no one there complex))
- date honey in the airport detectors on departure seemed like a security bomb, and on arrival - syrup ...You didn't read it!
- From this trip, 33 coiled candles were brought to friends, which were burned with the Holy Fire. That elevation of this action was spoiled by the mockery of the attentive donee - there the inscription "Holy Land" is translated as ..."Holy Land"! ! ! Not kosher somehow...
- in Jaffa - nice, you can go for free, clinging to a trip to the diamond exchange. There is where to take a picture.
- Pomegranate wine on samples was tastier than bought at the airport. In tourist spots, pomegranate fresh is archaic! Quarters above / below - the ball.
- take something to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher that you will never wash off - you will rub it with a stone that allocates to the world;
- in all the hotels where you have been, you can drink water from the tap - it is both tasty and the locals declare its safety. But in Leonardo in Eilat, the water constantly gave off a pool ...
- I would prepare for buying cosmetics at the Dead Sea at home - it requires knowledge, because the high cost of some brands is confusing. Especially the gifts coming to them...
- then at airports the security guards ask you "didn't they give you any gifts? "...They let everyone out there through micro interrogation so that you are in the chicken...All this is long and unpleasant! Especially public shmon, when you shift banks with dirty shorts, Schaub did not beat)))
- don't buy blue chips - bullshit...
- bought a suitcase at the Ice Mall in Eilat at a discount (well, in the duty-free zone), then compared the price at the airport - a little more expensive. And at the airport itself I looked at the prices of devices known to me - expensive (((
- the beaches are municipal and, if there is no voucher from the hotel, then a sunbed will cost an average of 15 shekels ...
- coffee in bags in hotels is not instant - it is, as a rule, finely ground natural coffee. We steam and drink)
In general, Israel is not a beach holiday. Dirty, dusty country. Either there is little rain, or there is no time or meaning - constant readiness for war. Expensive not only for tourists, but also for locals. At the same time, 40% of the budget for military ...
Service? Forget! ! ! The Jews themselves, by all appearances, make it clear that they will not serve anyone, and those barumbeks whom they hire are not taught this. English, too. The words "WC", "toilet" often baffled the staff! ! ! On excursions, they said that 30% speak Russian fluently. Didn't feel it!
They probably forgot to mention what they say and understand when they need it)))
In a hotel on the Dead Sea, I saw a black man in the spa responsible for the towels. He sits, lounging ...People come up to hand over towels - he makes cheeks with his finger and commands with a gesture where to carry them, they ask "where to get clean ones" - the same pointing finger after clicking ...I would have clicked it a couple of times if we hadn’t stopped for 1.5 days to this point!
Back off...
Brothers and sisters))
All this blocks the inspiration from visiting the Holy places. But my advice to you: look for rest in other places. To Israel - only on a pilgrimage. It's cheaper and makes more sense.
