Subject: Vacation in Israel

I'm close to depart to your country to visit it.
Exactly on Thursday.
I will start taking a visit of Tel Aviv for 3 days,then i will move away - i already got a car in rent - probably visiting Jerusalem,Tiberiad lake and maybe i willpass some days in Eiliat too.

Any suggestion to give me? Other places i cannot miss and maybe some sharp suggestion where i can sleep in the night (even in some hospitable kibbutz).

i accept all suggestion you can give me.

Thank you.

:-)

friday night and saturday are "yom kippur" in israel and every thing is closed. there is no trraffic annd it might be an interesting antropological expirience.
what r u looking for in your tour?

i forgot to tell you

welcome or "barouch habba" in hebrew

what r u looking for in your tour?

basically i thought to get an historycal and cultural holyday (so Jerusalem in particular and all the main rappresentative locations of the 3 religions presents in Israel), even if i don't desagree to visit a metropolis like Tel Aviv,that from what i heard it's full of life.I like adventure, but i will come alone and i will move alone and bymyself so i hope i will avoid "too much bad adventure" ;-)

A friend of mine already told me about Kippur festivity, even if i understoot it was been on 2nd October.Well no problem i can adapt myself quite decently to different situation and im sure i will enjoy anyway the style of life there. :D

Thanks in advance.

Let me know about some partular rule i have to rispect during this festivity, i don't want to seem miseducated to your people.

kipur day its between 21-22.9.2007
if you will stay in a town like jerusalem , tiberyous , tel aviv , you will not have any transportation,resturants and other places to spending time.
but in the arabik towns has Nazareth
or eastern jerusalem, you will not fill this holiday.

I will arrive in Tel Aviv in the morning of the 20th (tomorrow) and i stay in this city till the 23th.
Have i to buy something to eat and drink for the next days maybe?

Or the hotel would help me in this way?
(edited)

when you will erive to the hotel,ask them about that

ok, i will do it.I should have almost a full day to organize myself.
tnks

you r welcom, enjoy you trip in israel

dude why didnt u orgenize your trip to br start more 5 days ?? more 5-6 its sukot holiday and that should be realy fun but in yom kipur there is absolutly nothing to do... if u have bycicles with you you will have fun because there r no cars so you can ride on the road but thats the only thing to do :-/

usually the hotels serve cold (not heated) meals to those who want to eat/
if you r in tel aviv most of the hotel are near the beach and the weather is fine.
if you r looking for jewish fplclor than stay in jerusalem on suterday afternoon and walk (you cant do it by car on that day) to the templemount and the western wall. you can see the jewish yom kippur and the muslim rammadan at the samr time.

I will stay 12 days, but i got a reservation in Tel Aviv just for the first 3 days only, only to have a start point, but after these 1st days i will move in car to visit the rest of Country.

Well, there's any religious manifestation to watch during Kippur?
I should be interesting to view for me.
Otherwise i should go to the beach (my hotel is preatty close i had read).
If it's permitted.
Anyway the problem it's only for the 21th- and 22th it seems

you have to come to hifa in the carmel we have all the 4 religions and its very interesting to be were it all come together we have the bahim that is very beautiful we have vadi nisnas thet have the best falafel and more interesting places

.... i already rent the car from the 23th..... i thought i didn't need it before, staying in Tel Aviv :|
