Every year the number of tourists wishing to visit Israel is increasing. The mysterious country is known not only for its historical monuments of architecture. Nature is no less magnificent here. Before you go to Israel, it is advisable to know some of the features of this state.
Necessary
Passport, tourist voucher
Instructions
Step 1
When purchasing a voucher, check the validity of your foreign passport. It must be at least 6 months before its end, otherwise entry will be denied. Since Israel has rather tense relations with a number of Arab countries, the presence in the passport of stamps that previously visited Syria or Libya may raise additional questions when passing through customs control. This is due to the Arab-Israeli conflict that has lasted for many years.
Step 2
Before you relax in Israel, check out the sights of the country. This will allow you to have your own idea of what you want to see, even before purchasing a ticket. If you rely only on the recommendations of a travel company when choosing a tour, you can get a much more limited type of vacation, since firms strive to convince the client to purchase exactly those vouchers that they have available.
Step 3
If you want to save money on buying a ticket, you should pay attention to last minute tours. They do not provide the traveler with the possibility of choosing a city or hotel, but a trip to Israel will cost much less.
Step 4
After purchasing a travel package, shape your wardrobe in such a way that it must contain closed clothes. Despite the high temperatures, when visiting religious monuments, it is necessary that the shoulders and legs are not exposed. This rule applies to temples of any religion.
Step 5
Remember that Saturday is a day off for locals, so plan your vacation in Israel in such a way as to carry out excursions on other days of the week. It is forbidden to work in the country on Saturday, so most shops are closed, public transport does not function.
