Israel

Apparently, I'm going to Israel for a month!

Has anyone ever been there or know much about the culture/do's/don't's? 

Hubby has to go work there for a month, and I'm going with him... so I will be in a hotel in Tel Aviv most of the day during week days by myself.  I'm trying to see if I can find out where/what I can do by myself safely that are interesting in the area (especially for photography).

We will go see all the big stuff on weekends...  pyramids, dead sea, etc. 

Anyone have any experiences there or info?

  • Thanks ladies!

     I'm crazy excited...  DH is not so much.  LOL

    I'm only finding bits and pieces of information online about anything there.  I guess I'll just be talking to the hotel people once we're there and seeing what I can expect. 

  • What an amazing opportunity.  I have never been so I recommend posting on the travel board.  Those ladies are a lot of help.

    Oh hey, I didn't even think about that.  I tend to forget there's other boards here.  LOL 

     

    Thanks!  =)

  • That's such an amazing opportunity! I was hoping that DH and I would get to go someday. Have fun!
  • What an amazing opportunity!  I have never been there, but I had a friend go and she said that she met people over there who were a huge help and gave her lots of ideas for things to do.  Also, in my current job we have some employees in Israel and all of my experiences with them have been very positive.  The culture is more reserved than here, but I'd expect that the people will be friendly to you.  :)  Have a great time!

    Thanks!  From everything I've read and heard, they love Americans there, and like to talk to you to practice English.  Also apparently women are very respected there, so there's little to worry about as far as being harassed or anything. 

    I'm way excited!  I already have a list of things that I want to go do and see.  I actually ended up having a friend of a friend that has lived in Jeruselum for 30 years now as well, and she and I have been talking for a few days. She seems like she will be really fun to hang out with, and she loves having a reason to go into Tel Aviv and showing people around, so I have a bit of a personal guide, which is awesome! 

    I think it's a huge opportunity, especially from a photography standpoint, so I'm thrilled to have all the time to wander around with my camera!
