Don't let Arabian people (no... - Israel
Don't let Arabian people (no...

Don't get lost in the evening in dark alleys of old Jerusalem. It is dangerous.
Don't buy too expensive mineral water, learn some Hebrew and Arabian numbers -locals pay less!-
Don't visit Tiberias at the the Lake of Galilea when there is a festival (in august). It is very touristic and too expensive at that time! Visit another time and book your stay in a guesthouse or hostel. The hotels are very expensive! I had to pay up 150 dollars for a one night stay, because at festival time you could only get rooms at expensive hotels, all guesthouses and hostels were full.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
