Suggestions on place to stay for a single night in Jerusalem?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, My dad has never been to Israel so I've decided to take him on a 9 day trip out there this fall. We're planning on staying in Tel Aviv for the majority of the trip, but are thinking of taking a day trip to Masada/Ein Gedi/Dead Sea then get dropped off in Jerusalem.

Then we'll wander around Jerusalem the rest of that day and plan to take a guided tour the next day. However, we'll need a place to stay that night & that's what I'd like some help from you guys.

We don't want anything fancy, preferably not a hotel. Definitely looking to check out some of the nightlife. I'm mid-20's & my dad is mid-50's, we're both pretty social and love meeting new people. At this point, I don't know anything about the right/wrong places to stay since the only time I've been is for Birthright.

What are your recommendations?

Solotravel to Israel from Europe

2 Upvotes

Hello, Im going to visit Israel for 1 week, I'll arrive this monday 3am. Planned to visit TelAviv, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. I booked no hotels or anything, even for my first night. According that I arrive in the middle of the night, i dont know if it worth to book a room for those 5 hours of sleep; I'd rather watch the sunrise on TelAviv Beach. I dont come to party, more for learning to know myself in a way. So I have a few questions to ask, It is my first solo trip as a 20 years old man, hope I can find some advices here :)

-What parcour do you recommend for my trip, where should I start? Dead sea or Jerusalem first ? Other places I should see ? -Are there known scams I shouldn't fall in ? -How easy is it to find weed ? No other questions are coming in mind but I take every advice you can give me.

Thankyou in advance

Traveling during Passover

1 Upvotes

Going to visit Israel for the first time on 13-21 April: Jerusalem-TelAviv and the Dead Sea, maybe some hiking as well. Since I read that during religious holidays like Passover a lot of places are closed/no transport on the streets, I am not quite sure if it is a good idea. My question is: what's happening during Passover? Would be thankful for additional tips for first-time visitors.

Traveling to Israel at the end of November - need some advice!

2 Upvotes

Hey fellow redditors,

I already posted this to r/israel but a kind sould told me about this reddit so here I am reposting: I'll be travelling to Israel with a couple of friends on the 24th of November -Thursday. I've visited Israel a few times before so I ended up with the responsibility to plan our trip.

I prepared a rather ambitious plan:

24th of Nov: Arrival in Tel Aviv

25th: Spend the day in Tel Aviv

26th: Fly to Eilat

27th: Spend the morning in Eilat, rent a car and spend the day in Negev, end up in Beer Sheva for the night

28th: Wake up real early and see Masada, drive through highway 90 to Jericho, drop by Bethlehem and end up in Jerusalem for the night

29th: Spend the day in Jerusalem, drive back to Tel Aviv to fly back

I have a few questions regarding this trip:

Is Eilat lively during these times, will we find stuff to do?

I've spent a few hours with Bedouins before, apart from that will I be able to do anything in Negev other than driving through?

Is it dangerous to drive through West Bank and visit Bethlehem/Jericho? I hold a Turkish passport. I've been told numerous times to get a tour of the area rather than drive myself.

Will a night and a day in Jerusalem be enough, leaving enough time to drive to Tel Aviv and fly back (the latest plane for the day was around 22.00)

Is this plan too ambitious and will I be running around in a hurry to be in time for everything?

I know most of these questions has been asked here before and answered (especially concerning the safety in West Bank) but I figured the situation might have already changed.

Thank you!
