Hotel Prices in Northern Israel

nigel — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 07:38:16 GMT

I do not know if anyone will listen or, take notice but, I am trying to book a holiday in Northern Israel - the costs of hotels are prohibitive, I was quoted 1800 nis a night at one of the c Group Hotels in the Gallil. It is absolutely absurd. ( The price was the same at a 3* ISraeli Hotel as at 5* Dorchester in London)_ We are tryying to support the country and the people in the North who have suffered attacks so many times but the few hotels up there make it impossible to do so.

If anyone from the Ministry of Tourism is listening, Hotel proces are too high and it puts people off.

Up to you - Israel will always have our support but it could really do with some common sense thinking on the prices ( and quality ) of its hotels

I speak as someone who worked for KKL IN London for 2 years and has an active role in my local community !

We have committed to goiing to Israel next summer but if the pound is not stronger find it very hard to justify

The terrible road accident

Evgeny — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:51:30 GMT

Today Russian TV showed report about the terrible road accident with Rissian tourists bus. Thanks for Israel government for the rescue operation. I see that Israel people have a shock and this is our common disaster.

At the last year (Novenber, 2007) I had vacation tour to Israel Dead Sea and had excursions to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Eilat. Israel is sensationally beautiful country! Before this visit Israel was far country for me, but after this Israel is near country and at this time I am friend of Israel peoples.

On the excursion I observed for the bus drivers and have two suggestions.

At first, bus driver - is not guide for tourists! He is only bus driver! Our bus driver entertained us on Jerusalem and Eilat roads and I see that driving is secondary job. This is very bad situation and this may be a reason for this road accident with my nationals.

At second, ALL tourist bus MUST have hands free phone equipment for driver! When we back to Dead Sea from Jerusalem and Eilat our bus drivers persistent speaking to his phones, holding phone at the right hand, driving only left hand. We back to hotel from Jerusalem on the dark time and our driver, speaking to the phone on the right hand, turning wheel and switching far/near light simultaneously by left hand. I invoked God's for us protection.

I hope that my post help you to make the tourism more safe.

Best regards your friend

Beeri forest feb 2008

natik — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:06:59 GMT

Last month, as a rainstorm was raging through Israel,

We found ourselfs traveling in the sweet winter sun among millions of red Kalaniot (Anemone) flowers.

At the Beeri forest right near Kibbutz Beeri, no more the an hours drive from Tel Aviv.

Every year at the end of Febuary and through March you can walk through breathtaking carpets of Kalaniot.

In the Beeri forest there are also many magical trails that can be accessed by car or foot.

Recommended to those who want to get away from the pressures of the cities.

Have fun !

Fresh sights from the old city

michalos — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:16:31 GMT

Hi,
I love Jerusalem - it is authentic, has the best weather, and offers a great deal of attractions for every taste.

(well, I guess that since this is the israel travel forum - most of us share that love and interest...)

As you may know, the city has made some progress tour-wise, and there are quite a few new places to visit while touring Jerusalem.

Anyway - for all of you who visit Jerusalem on a frequent basis, and also for those who plan a trip to Jerusalem in the near future,
I'd like to introduce you to a new youtube clip, featuring some of these new places for the first time:

Hope you find it useful,

Israel October 2007

Nolan Maritn — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:30:09 GMT

Shalom and greetings from Columbus Ohio. I had the honor, neigh the privilage of being able to spend two weeks in Israel last October and it was incredible!! We went with a group called Zion's Hope, and the tour we undertook was fabulous. We started off in Tel Aviv/Jaffa and then worked our way around the country seeing Ceasera Merritime, Beat Shean, Dead Sea, The Sea of Galilee, the River Jordan, and we finished with four life changing days in Jerusalem. For anyone who is worried about safety issues in Israel, we felt perfectly safe, and had a wonderful time. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

trip to Israel (in Spanish).

guerrero.fernando — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:27:45 GMT

Visitar Israel es realmente impactante, lo primero que recomiendo a quienes desen ir es lo siguiente:

No se dejen intimidar por quienes piensan que es riesgoso visitar este precioso pais, hay mas seguridad que en cualquier lugar de donde vivimos, claro hay que cuidar nuestros equipajes, documentos personales etc, como en cualquier lugar.

cambien sus moneda local por dolares, aun si tienen euros, es mejor llevar dolares porque el tipo de cambio de cuatro chequels por un billete de dolar es igual que si llevas euros, de cualquier forma te dan cuatro chequels.

no lleves mucha ropa, procura unos jeans para ponertelos repetidamente todos los dias, ya que al regresar solo admiten 20 kilos de peso en equipaje al avion si lo documentas, por lo cual entre mas ligero llegues podras comprar mas cosas, venden de todo y es increible ir de compras, si usas una back pat (mochila) mejor, alli guarda lo que pesa porque lo que llevas en equipaje de mano junto a ti, al abordar al avion no es pesado.

cuidado con tu maleta, no aceptes nada regalado, ni mucho menos nada que no sepas que es, ayuda con la seguridad de todos nosotros.

y diviertete como loco, pasea, ve sitios historicos, no dejes de ir al mar muerto, mazada, y mil lugares mas, si viajas desde america, procura salir en el vuelo de la noche, para transbordar en alemania o francia, asi llegaras temprano a esos paises, y solicita que el otro vuelo a israel sea por la tarde o al dia seguiente, asi tendras la oportunidad de visitar alemania o francia, sin costos extras de avion, es magnifico visitarlos aprovechando el viaje,

respecto a comida, disfruta de todo, sin preguntar, poco a poco aprenderas los nombres y comenzaras a deleitarte con la comida principalmente con el pan pita, es riquisimo.
