Located in the Holiday Inn, Jerusalem: Silver necklace enscribed with your name in Hebrew
  • Tip Rating:
  • An artisan of the highest style awaits you at the Holiday Inn in Jerusalem. A lovely little shop inside the hotel provides you with one of a kind necklaces. Made of sterling silver (look for the silver marking on the back, I guarantee it will be there). For 25.00, United States currency, your name will be made of silver, written in the Hebrew language. Not knowing the language, I wore my new necklace to a local bookstore. Immediately, a total stranger walked up to me and spoke my name. I smiled brightly, knowing that I had purchased a personal treasure.

    The jewerly in the shop is handmade, expect a 24 hour wait for your handmade silver necklace, however, other unique and beautiful items are available and very reasonably priced. The jewelry artisan is available to answer any questions and the workmanship is worth the price.

    25.00 for a sterling silver necklace made of your name in Hebrew.

    Duty Free: Shopping on the way Back
  • Tip Rating:
  • When Arriving to the Duty Free in Ben Gurion Airport (on your way back home) you can find Many things to buy but unlike i other duty free shops which i've seen you wont find Authentic food to buy there so if you like to take with you this kinda things dont wait till your last minute..
    Other then that you can find everything..cigarrets, cosmetics, sports clothes shoes and others, electricity, music etc' etc'.
    For you smokers i can say that cigarrets are quite cheap !!! much cheaper then in the US or Europe.

    Paying can be done with the local currency, US dollars or any other major credit cards.
    Not sure about Euros as i never asked about it.

    No V.A.T. on goods & services in Eilat.

    isnt it great?

    Most of the tourist do not ahve to pay VAT in Israel, but here even on normal shopping, they discount you the vat from the final price, so you alwys pay less that what you think lol.

    Actually I bught some shoes like the ones Stace is trying in eilat (mine were not very good ones). He boughted in Arad at Martin¨s Friend shoe shop that had been recently to Madrid (Spain). I think at the end, he got a better deal, as the owner of the hsop was Martins freind, he offered him a 25%, wow!! I should have wait lol

    Shop in the Markets not in Tourist Trap stores
  • Tip Rating:
  • Do not shop in the tourist stores or shops. They are overpriced 5 to 10 times what you can pay for things in the open air markets.

  • Here you can find a lot of things and very cheap sometimes.

    You can buy rings , antiques , musical instruments , clothes and more.

    You can bargain with the seller and you will get good prices.

    I saw a small guitar that cost 120 nis and he wanted to sell it for 30 nis

    anything you want.

    Bargain and lower the prices

    The Flea Market near Jaffa
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lots of
    Lots of "junk" at the
    Jaffa flea market
    by Paul2001
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Although most people will find the souqs in Jerursalem much more interesting on a cultural scale, the flea market located by the Clock. The flea market is quite unlike any such market that I have seen back home in Canada. At the Jaffa flea market you can buy just about anything imaginable from musical instruments, brass beds, cooking utensils to used cars. Of course there is also a large choice of antique furniture. The flea market is a rather ramshackle affair that seems to define the phrase "organized chaos". Henced I really liked. However the flea market will not appeal to everyone. Some will find it filthy and full of quite simply said, junk.

    Imagine it and you will find it here.

    Jerusalem Arab Quater: Jerusalem Arab Quater
  • Tip Rating:
  • As you can see from the photo some of the streets in the Arab Quarter are very colourful & busy!

    Its a great place to buy your Jerusalem souvenirs, You can try bargining, but its not the game you find in places like Egypt etc.

    Ceramics are nice, t shirts are very cheap, Arab Head scarfs etc
