Extraordinary country
Everyone thinks about Israel, but tours are unrealistically expensive. I advise you to act on your own, especially St. Petersburg + Moscow, because. we were left without Egypt. Buy tickets in half a year, Russia flies.
Next, look for apartments to rent, if it is trustworthy, send an advance payment, usually $ 100, if it bothers you, look through Booking. The agency must send you a rental agreement with closed dates and the owner's passport number, as well as his phone number, and signature. Necessarily in Hebrew, as well as English or Russian. Call these numbers and check. At customs, show at passport control, this is your confirmation of stay. You can rent at Colony beach or Leonardo's hotel in Bat Yam (there are apartments on the top floor). Look at the map.
Housing is cheaper in Bat Yam (the so-called Big Tel Aviv) from there to the center 20 minutes by any bus (6 shekels), you need to rent in the first 3 blocks from the sea, but not at noisy intersections. It costs from $70 for a studio to $150 for a 3-room apartment. more than 100m2.
A beautiful beach, many kilometers long - goes to Rishon in one direction and to T-Aviv through Jaffa in the other. Beach with free tents, water, lifeguards, cafes and toilets, and so on. Have you seen this anywhere? Sunset in the sea - perfect sand. There are enough Russians in Bat Yam, this is both good and bad. But you won’t get lost, there are plenty of vouchers on every corner in any direction from the center of the town, from 95 shekels. to Jerusalem, up to 140sh. to Masada.
Shekel - 3.6 to $. Food is expensive but delicious. In Bat Yam, supermarkets are cheaper. Thus, finances are divided into 3 stages - a ticket, housing and the rest. The security service will trust you back - behave kindly, everything is done for us. The country is calm, only aviation is flying across the sky. We have been traveling with children for 17 years, no problems. Very interesting, Israel is full of wonders. On holidays it is better not to appear in Jerusalem, pick up the time, consult agencies. And be careful with the Wailing Wall - after all, wishes come true. . .
