Travel Tips
The climate of Israel is warm and sunny for most of the year. Winters are short but can be cold and rainy. Rainfall is mostly limited to between November and April.
In general, Jerusalem is cooler than Tel Aviv. The hottest areas are those below sea level - the Jordan Valley, the shores of the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea and
the areas around Eilat.
May-October is the ideal time to visit Israel.
A current passport, valid for at least six months from your scheduled return date, is the only documentation required of American citizens to enter Israel. If planning to visit any Arab or Muslim states, excluding Egypt and
Jordan, you can request that the Immigration authorities stamp a piece of paper rather than your passport.
No immunizations are necessary to visit Israel.
Casual, comfortable clothing is fine for touring. Skirts and slacks or jeans are okay anywhere. In the winter, you’ll need a medium weight coat and a cardigan or pullover should be packed for possibly chilly summer evenings. Pack things you can layer. Midday and afternoon can be considerably warmer than mornings and evenings.
Religious sites are not open to anyone dressed immodestly; men and women must cover their legs and shoulders. Arms must be covered in all mosques
and temples. Men must cover their heads in Jewish places of worship.
Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes are a must. Bring an old pair of sneakers or water shoes for walking
on the rocky sea bed of the Dead Sea.
Bring sunglasses and a sun hat.
The currency of Israel is the New Shekel and it is divided into 100 Argorot. Money can be changed at banks and in hotels. Many Israelis will talk in terms of American dollars when quoting prices. Most major credit cards are accepted in Israel.
The electric current is 110-240 volts. Wall plugs are the round, two pronged European type
