Hi There,

I'm travelling to Israel on Business in a couple of weeks and will be working in Rosh Haayin. The last time I was in Israel I stayed in Herzliya in the Sharon Hotel as this area seemed the most convenient for Rosh Haayin. However, the Sharon Hotel wasn't very good and I do not want to stay there again and I'd like to stay closer to Tel Aviv so could someone please tell me approx how long it would take to travel by car from The Sheraton City Tower Hotel (in the Diamond Exchange area not the one on the beach).

Thanks!

I want to stay at Tel Aviv for three nights with a group of six man.
As we travel on low-budget, we´re lookong for a cheap hotel.
Hotel Eilat, Hayakon 58, has a nice price, but on their website I read, that you can rent a room not only per night, but also per hour.
This irritates me, as in Germany this would often mean, professional woman would offer their services there.
Does anyone know thoi hotel or can tell me, if a rent per hour ist totally normal in Israel?

Thanks for answer!!

Shalom everyone :)

Unfortunately I only have 1 day and the next morning (need to leave for Tel Aviv by 11:00 AM)to enjoy Northern Israel. I will be driving from Tel Aviv on Thursday, August 27 and will be there until Friday August 28 (until 11:00 Am only). Below are all of the places that I would love to go, but obviously I will not be able to see everything. If there is anything you think I should skip, or suggest a basic itinerary, please let me know. I'm so torn, I want to see it all!

Zichron Yaakov
-The First Aliyah Museum
-The Main Street Wine Route
-Carmel Mizrahi Winery

Carmel Mountain

Nahal Yehudiya

Akko

Haifa
-Bahai Temple, etc.

The Golan Heights

Any suggestions on a reasonably priced hotel close(ish) to the airport? We are booked on an 8am flight from Ben Gurion.

Thanks All

Will the crafts market be open its regular hours during Sukkot, especially on Friday October 9, 2009

In mid November I'd like to stay three nights in the Jaffa/Tel Aviv area
near the Opera Tower. If I can't make reservations in the Old Jaffa Hostel,
do you have a recommendation for a clean, quiet, place with a kitchenette
in the room?

Hi There,

I'm travelling to Israel next week to work for a few days and my company have booked me into the Sharon Hotel in Herzliya. All I have heard and read about this hotel are very bad things so I'm a bit put off staying here. Also the pictures that of it that people have put online don't show it in a very good light! I will be working in the town of Rosh Haayin.

Can someone please advise me about hotels, has the Sharon hotel improved or would I be better off staying in a different hotel. If so what hotels would be recommended. I'm not working in Tel Aviv but don't mind a 45min drive to work.

Any help is appreciated!!


Thanks,

Lauren

When does the Jaffa Flea Market happen? (days/times please)

We're going to be in Tel Aviv on a Friday until Saturday. Will everything in the city be closed? Does public transportation close down? Will I be able to find restaurants and shops that are open. We will be staying at the Dan Panorama Hotel. I would like to be able to pick up some gifts while I'm there. I don't want to spend the time in my hotel.

Thanks

I have two male friends who will be travelling in Israel in the first week in October. I have been able to find details of public transport from Tel Aviv to both Tiberias and Caesarea, but would be grateful for any advice that anyone can give about the safest and most efficient ways of getting to both of these places from Tel Aviv.

Also need to know the best ways, using public transport, to get to Jerusalem from either Tiberias or Caesarea.

Many thanks for your help.

Hello,

We will go to Israel next week and plan to go to Tiberias/Galilee and visit Caesarea, Haifa, Acre, Nazareth, Sea of Galilee, etc.. Maybe it will take 2-3 days. We are not sure if we can take this trip by ourselves. Which way is better? By train? rent car? Or join a group tour?

Is it safe to drive for foreigner?

Thank you in advance:)

Hi, I need to get to Jerusalem Monday morning from Ramat Gan. How do I go about this? Thanks

My wife and I will be staying in Tel Aviv for two weeks during the Maccabiah Games in July...our daughter will play field hockey. We will watch the competition in the morning. We will have afternoons and evenings free. Also, we will have a rental car. Do you have suggestions for places to visit on short day trips?

Hello everyone!

I have a friend who studies in Tel Aviv and I live in Belgium.
We are plannning to meet each other in Buglaria this summer around Jun.

Do you know the best and cheapest way from Tel Aviv to Bulgaria (round trip)?
He found some flights, but they all cost around 400 euro and he can not afford it.
I have found a flight of BUL air and it costs 290 euro.

Does anyone know how he can enter BUL cheaply?

It doen't have to Sofia.
Because we could meet some other cities too!

Thank you in advance!

Is there a cinema in Tel Aviv area where I can see the Japanese film "Departures" with English subtitles?

Has anyone heard of Misheknot Ruth-Daniel (Hostel) in Yaffo? Need to hear how it is. Also, any ideas where a family of 4 can stay on the way to Safed? We wanted a place with a bit of charm.

Any tips for a week in Tel Aviv or near by with a 4 year old kid?

Hello my good friends at VT!. I need to find a good well located hostel in Tel Aviv. I came across two I like:

The Gordon Inn and The Old Jaffa Hostel. I was looking for something more centrally located with shops, people, beach, restauraunt, markets, downtown, the centre of the city. The gordon Inn seems to be the best although the Old Jaffa Hostel seems to have a very nice mystique about it but seems to be far away from the centre of the city on Amiad street?.

Let me know your thoughts...Jaffa seems nice but far from the downtown

Hello!,

I just wanted to know if there is train service on SATURDAYS from Ben Gurion to haifa available?, i checked the website it said there is but not until the evening at 2100 hours. Then I found something saying that there is train service starting at 3am til midnight but it didnt say the days that is in effect.

Does anyone know?, I assume Saturday is a holiday...what would be the best way from the airport to Haifa?

Thanks!

Are there any good,(but not really expensive) restaurants near the Sheraton open Fri evening? (Not Jewish so don't need Kosher).
Thank you for any help.

Hi,
I am planning a trip to TA, between 3-16 April. Is the weather warm enough at this time of year? My wife likes hot weather! Also what is the country like at Passoevr? Will it be difficult to book accommodation? Will Tiberias, Jerusalem and all the other touristy places be very busy?
Would it be better to come in May? (In May, I can only come for 9 days)

Thanks very much,
Rhonsie

I have searched the forums and can't find anything on dressing appropriately for the mosques, churches, etc. that our tour group will visit in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other places in Israel. Is there a guideline for men and women? Is a calf-length skirt long enough? Should we plan on long sleeves or just when in the churches, etc?
(We leave in one week)
Thank you for any advice.
