Today I will share my top 10 reasons as to why you should visit Tel Aviv.
- Do you know what tefillin is?
In this city you have a great chance to see this special device for reading the morning prayer. I was lucky to witness the procedure of applying tefillin around an arm, which is wrapped 7 times!
- Strict passport control: myth or reality?
Ben-Gurion Airport is recognized as one of the safest airports in the world. You will understand why shortly after arriving at the border control. You will start with a twenty-minute survey on the purpose of your visit, followed by another thirty minutes at departures describing all the countries you have visited, including who you have been there with and where you stayed … before finally moving on to the stress-free territory!
- Is it true that an arrival stamp could complicate entry to Arab countries?
Previously passports were stamped. However, tourists were usually asking to not stamp the passport, but a separate sheet of paper. Nowadays at arrivals you will receive a ticket with your photo and date of arrival.
- People are very cheerful and social
Residents of the city will show you the road in case you are lost and even try to feed you! Once at a shoe store, a shop assistant even offered me a Falafel!
- Feel the fine sand on the beach
A good reason, isn’t it?
- Learn how to make a pita
Pita is considered made well if the edge of the bread is cut and the filling is evenly distributed in the pocket inside.
- Try a traditional Israeli breakfast
The variety and size of servings will satisfy even the most picky eaters.
- See what sports Israelis are up to
In addition to Ping-Pong and volleyball, a lot of citizens exercise at the beach gym.
- It is easy to call a taxi in Tel Aviv
Taxis can be flagged on the street or booked via phone apps such as Uber.
10.Search for household differences
Despite the appearance, European plugs work with Israeli sockets (no adapter needed!).
