SEA, TREASURES AND BAZARAS: WHY GO TO ISRAEL IN THE VELVET SEASON
The Israelis are already visible on the plane, even if it is the board of the UIA, and not El-Al. Everyone who has lived in Israel for at least a few years, has a peculiar “Hebrew” intonation – a little chanted. Children are noisy and direct, young women neglect bright makeup and high heels, but keep confident, elderly ladies and gentlemen – in comfortable shoes, clothes in sports style and with modern smartphones that talk with grandchildren, interfering with Russian and Hebrew: “Bededer, Danya, motek (Danya, honey, everything is all right)! Grandma is coming soon. ”
In Hebrew, however, they don’t come to Israel, or to Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel), but “rise” or “rise”. In the case of an airplane – very true. By the way, in the Country itself, one city was awarded the same honor – Jerusalem.

What a tourist should not do in Egypt
Every tourist wants to spend an unforgettable vacation and not overshadow him with troubles. In Egypt, travelers can expect many annoying surprises, and we will try to help protect ourselves from disappointment. Read the list below of what a tourist in Egypt should not do.

Such a high quality is a luxury that not every country can afford. In Egypt, tap water is unsuitable for drinking. Poor water is used in the central regions of the country, and desalinated water in the coastal regions. Continue reading
Tourists’ “Divorces” in Egypt – Common Cheats
The desire of the Egyptians to “feast on” the contents of the wallets of tourists is huge. Perhaps, in this indicator, Egypt is ahead of all tourist countries. At the same time, the Egyptians are not very choosy in the choice of methods, and often use technologies that are very questionable from a moral point of view. We will talk about the most common cases of “divorce.” The first divorce is beach towels. In most beach hotels, tourists are given special cards upon check-in. On these cards, tourists receive beach towels. In terms of living, it is clearly stated that tourists must hand over all cards at the end of their stay, and a fine is imposed for the loss of cards or towels. The fines are large – from 10 to 30 dollars, which in no way matches the quality of the towels, which can often be called “floor rags”.
Naturally, the situation of losing your towels is very beneficial for the hotel, since it sells a used towel worth $ 2 for $ 20. Continue reading
