If you will go to Elijah's cave suddenly you will see a lot of people that will ask you for donation for a sick person or something like that and as far as i know they all trying to get money for themselves.Try to avoid them and don't answer them unless you want to donate.
Excerpt from AIC-web:a) Identification and ExplanationThe person in charge is required to introduce him/herself with name&function, to explain you why s/he is conducting this search and which law/regulation sanctions it. If the search is conducted according to the Protection of Aviation Law s/he has no right to check your written material unless it concerns your identity or the purpose of your visit.b) InterrogationThe search is NOT an interrogation. The only questions allowed are the ones aiming to ensure that you are neither a “terrorist” nor being used by one: Who packed your luggage? Who bought your ticket? Why did you come to Israel? Which places have you visited? If you feel that the questions are going beyond the aim, you should make clear that you have provided all necessary answers and you refuse to be subjected to a political interrogation.c) The searchYou have the right to be...
Sorry to be a partypooper, but smoking a narghila (also “shisha,” “hookah,” “hubble bubble” or just plain “water-pipe”) is not the harmless activity that people think it is. Narghila smoking is perceived as being less dangerous than cigarette smoking. New studies have shown that this is not so. Common myths and misconceptions: The nicotine content is lower than that of cigarettes. The water filters out all the noxious chemicals, including carbon monoxide, nicotine and tar. Smoking a narghila is less irritating and thus less harmful to the throat and respiratory tract than cigarette smoking. Narghila tobacco is fruit-flavored, which means it’s healthy.In the Middle East, puffing on a narghila goes back 400 years. And remember the scene in “Alice in Wonderland” when she meets a hookah-smoking caterpillar sitting on a mushroom? Nowadays, narghila-smoking has become very trendy. Visitors to...
Every year between Mid' of July and aprx Mid of August a huge Jellyfish groups "visit" Israel on its way north.Those Jellyfishes are NOT as dangerouse / deadly as in australia for example or maybe in other places too BUT they can give you a bad burns on the skin !!! They are BIG and nasty and the spread their (sort of) poison while they are around so if you're close to them you can alredy feel it on your skin though its nothing bad however you will NOT want to "meet" them personaly and feel them on your body... So be aware of that.For some reason there are no signs that warns about it in the beaches, the locals knows this but tourist may not know so if you're going to swim best thing to do is first see if the locals swin and you can also ask people if its okay or if you better just wet your self quickly and run away... (like i do at this times LoL )What to do if you were burnedAlthough...
The drivers in Israel are known for not being so patient and basicaly driving as "if they own the road" if you know what i mean. So if there's any danger here that would be it.Drive slow though not too slow... we dont have time here... we're always in a rush... people wont like the fact that a slow driver is preventing them of driving as fast as they want.Zebra crossingUnfortinately in this aspect Israel is definitely behind the west... Dont take it as an obviouse thing that car would stop and let you cross the road while you're standing near the zebra crosss and waiting ! I must admit that the first time i saw a "normal" drivers was in Europe, mostly in London, before i was even on the edge of the road Cars were already stopping, i remember i was in a shock ! i wish it would have been like that here but its not So Please BE CAREFUL when you're about to cross the road, drivers here can...
When you visit the Dead Sea please be careful not to go in the water just after shaving!!! Probably the best time to visit the Dead Sea would be in the afternoon after a trip to Jericho or Masada. It's a good place to cool off.
During the night it can be very cold in the desert so i suggest that you will take some warm clothes with you if you want to be outside during the night.Also beware of snakes , scorpions and other good "friends"
Beersheba is a very boring place - so hot , so primitive (to my opinion).You can come to Beersheba only if you want to stop on your way to Eilat or Masada but not to travel here.Every time i come to this place it is like the time stoped.
Near Beersheba and on the way to Arad (and the dead sea) there are several beduin settlements like Hura , Kuseyfe , lakya and a few more.I am not saying that all of them are bad people but the youth is sometimes not very good people - the trying to take protection money from people who build their houses in Beersheba , omer , lehavim , some of them are driving without a driving license so dont try to argue with them on the road if they pass you on the road dangeoursly.Some of them are veru rude and impolite , they also put things on the road during the night that car will hit the thing they put (chair , washing machine and more) so Be careful !
During the evening and the night don't go alone near the new central staion area , there are a lot of foreign workers , hookers , escort clubs so if you don't have to pass there stay away.No one will kill you or try to harm you but still it is for your own safety.
