What to pay attention to when going to Israel

1. Precautions for transportation and accommodation in Israel

1. In Israel, just like in China, drive on the right. Please obey the traffic rules when crossing the road to protect your own safety. 2. The tap water in Israeli hotels can be directly It is drinkable, but in view of Chinese people’s living habits, it is recommended to drink mineral water. Before going to Israel, it is recommended to book accommodation online in advance. I recommend Haoqiao.com, which has a regional mode and is easy to find. The price is also affordable. I accidentally discovered it when I was looking for a convenient place to stay in Pai County on Baidu last time. When I made a reservation on BOOKING before, the Internet speed was very slow. I was tired of looking at the directions of various hotels. I couldn't figure it out and it made me dizzy. Later, I discovered Haoqiao.com on Baidu. I saw that they clearly classified the locations of hotels, which was so convenient.

2. Food taboos

Special reminder from Israel Apple Travel Agency: Israelis do not eat pork, but beef can be eaten, but the cattle must be slaughtered in the presence of a Jewish priest and be slaughtered. Cows can only be eaten by people if they are not in too much pain. They also have some taboos: beef and milk cannot be cooked at the same time, nor can they be eaten together. Fish without scales are also prohibited.

3. Tourism Season

Israel has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers, ranging from Mount Hermon at an altitude of 2,810 meters to the lowest point on earth at 392 meters below the horizon─ ─The Dead Sea has obvious regional climate and different conditions. The coastal plain is humid and hot in summer, slightly cold and rainy in winter, and occasionally has light snow in hilly areas. The Jordan Valley region has dry and hot summers, while the southern region has a semi-arid climate with warm days and cool nights.

4. Others

There are no special famous dishes in Israel. Most of the restaurants run by Jews follow the Kosher commandments. Kosher is not the name of the dish, but the Jewish dining rules. There are many forbidden foods recorded in the Old Testament, mainly including: pork, octopus, squid, shrimp, crab, etc. Meat and dairy products cannot be eaten at the same time. The so-called Kosher style of dining means that when ordering meat dishes, the bread is not buttered, ice cream is not allowed after the meal, and milk is not added when drinking coffee. In addition, tap water can be drank directly, and there are basically no food hygiene and safety issues. Vegetables and fruits can be eaten after being rinsed. But try to reheat food purchased at open-air market stalls before eating. Antidiarrheal medicine should be carried with you and can also be purchased at your local pharmacy.
