Written by Top Five Traveling Tips For Touring Israel, Including Tips For the Desert
Introduction
The following 5 tips come courtesy of those who live locally in Israel. You know what they say: Who better to ask about the place you are visiting than the people who live there.
1) You will need to bring plenty of water and drink it. 2 liters a day should cover your hydration requirements. It gets hot in Israel, especially in the desert. The hot months are from June through November. You will need your sunscreen too. Come prepared. Coincidentally, we recommend doing the same when you visit us in Florida.
2) You need not be worried about fashion in Israel. Comfort is the order of the day. You will need a hat to keep out the sun and comfortable shoes. You will also need light clothing. Do not bring your heavy clothes. You will thank us later.
3) The women should wear long sleeves and pants when visiting a religious order or site. Locals react very strongly to women who come wearing provocative clothing.
Do you ever see Sex in the City 2? The girls went to Abu Dabi. Samantha got reprimanded for displaying her skin. The same thing applies in Israel. You need to be respectful of their religion and their long-held beliefs. You will face severe consequences otherwise.
4) Things move slower in Israel. You cannot expect things to get done on your timetable. You need to be patient. The same thing applies here in Florida. The end result will still be the same.
"Life is not about the destination, but the journey itself."
5) You should not wander the desert in israel without a guide. Trust us. You will get lost. The desert will look the same after a lot of heat and sand.
