Israel travel tips<br />

Written by Tara<br />

Security:<br />

In Jerusalem, based on our and lot of<br />

travelers’ personal experience, was<br />

quite safe. We often saw quite few soldiers<br />

walking around with guns.<br />

In Bethlehem, We had a bad experience<br />

but we also met few very friendly<br />

people there. Remember DON’T<br />

TRUST the taxi driver there.<br />

Immigration:<br />

They will distribute the entry permit<br />

card and exit permit card for you<br />

each way. There is NO STAMP will<br />

be placed on<br />

your passport. So<br />

just no need to<br />

worry about it.<br />

Cost:<br />

We both think the<br />

expenses there is quite<br />

similar to Hong Kong.<br />

However, some fruit<br />

are cheap.<br />

Strawberries cost<br />

around USD2<br />

and got 0.5kg.<br />

Very cheap and sweet though!<br />

Dead Sea:<br />

If you are going to the Dead Sea,<br />

please DO make sure you don’t<br />

have any wounds and remember to<br />

bring your sandals with you cos<br />

there were many rocks on the bottom<br />

of the sea and it hurts!!<br />

Failure to do it will make you feel<br />

very painful because of the salt in the<br />

sea!<br />

Transport:<br />

Bus: Due to language barrier,<br />

you may speak LOUDER while<br />

asking information with the bus<br />

driver so the people around who<br />

speaks good English may be able<br />

to help you.<br />

Light rail: The light rail run<br />

through the city of Jerusalem, very<br />

user-friendly.<br />

Apps: The apps Moovit works<br />

quite well in Israel. Even the local<br />

are using this apps. Highly<br />

recommend any<br />

one go to Israel<br />

to use it .<br />

Climate:<br />

It is pretty dry in Jerusalem. You<br />

are suggested to bring moisturizing<br />

mask and cream to protect<br />

your skin.<br />
