Just arrived from a wonderful trip around Israel.
I am adding slowly tips, and it is not useful right now, please come back later, to visit a wonderful country ...
Special thanks to all the vt members that we have meet during our trip:
Thanks Sharon a pleasure to meet you again.
Thanks Martin, Zohara and Tal, already missing you and your two little devils ;-) ....
Thanks to Hilla and Gil for our last dinner in Tel Aviv
And to all the people we meet in the barbecue.... I will keep on adding all the names
Israel is located in the Middle East, along the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt.
It lies at the junction of three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa.
What had amazed me, is the diversity of this country, in such a little place (in comparation with Spain or for example USA), you can find everything you look for:
Religious & Historical & Adventure & Nature & Archaeology & Diving & Food, and the amount of natural parks in such a little country that is incredible.
All in one
Yesterday on the beach I realised that a week ago I was swimming on the same sea, but on the other side lol, and also bathing on Dead and Red Sea. I love Travelling what can I say lol
In the General tips I will include the itinerary of our trip, so I do not forget anything.
- Pros:Just beautiful, so many contrasts ....
- In a nutshell:Do not worry: pack and get ready to enjoy!

Avdat, I'll have to remember that place, though I'm sure, Martin won't let me bypass it :)
Hello Carmen, Nice pages. Thank you very much and happy new year to you. Tomas Eriksson :)
just came back from my 2nd Israel trip, am even more intrigued than from my 1st trip!
Hello Carmela. Thank you for the to do tips as I am planning a January 2009 trip to Israel.
great little page you have put together here
I'm not so sure.Some Israelis don't give any tip.When I gave 5 Shekels as a tip to taxi drivers I encountered 3 eactions:1.Suprise, thanking me very much 2.Acting very disappointed (on purpose so Iwould give him more)3.Thankfulness.
HI. As i am planning a trip around the Mediterranean by motorcycle i have a burning question : do you know if there is free transit through the Golan from Damascus to Haifa?? Hope to hear from you soon (and may be meet at Marbella?) motoguzz@hotmail.com
Great page Carmela. Planning a trip to Israel in October and your page gave me some good ideas.
Such a small country but with a real diversity of things to do and see. This year instead of going to Spain and Portugal I've decided to visit Israel. Looking at your page Ican see it is the right decision
Lovely place to visit... I wish it was not that much corrupted by violence and it became again a tourist destination as I am sure it deserves! thanks for your lovely tips.
