Water. Can I bring drinking water with me?
I’m going in the middle of summer. I’ll need to drink a lot of water. When I went to Egypt, my friends shared their experience of taking several liters of drinking water with me. with me, I made tea and a lot of coffee in the room (I can’t do without it). Please tell me what is the situation with water in Israel. How much is it, dear? Can I take with me 5 liters of water? Is it possible to use an electric coffee maker in the hotel? Is there a refrigerator in the rooms? Thanks

I always take a couple of 2 liter Bonacques to Egypt. Take it, in extreme cases they will take it. It's not really a weapon. Although after a 1 day trip to Israel and passing the Egyptian-Israeli border, there is no desire to return there. What hotel are you staying at? Check their website to see if they have coffee makers in the rooms.

Galapagos, who asked rayak, does not travel to Israel from Egypt, but flies from Kyiv.
Taking water in such quantities, in my opinion, is somehow very redneck. You can imagine what will happen to your luggage if your 5-liter cylinder depressurizes due to the difference in altitude and pressure. For tea and coffee, we used tap water, no one suffered from a disorder, only the water is hard, scale remains. And you can buy with you on excursions: for a one and a half liter bottle - from 1 to 1.5 dollars, acceptable. In addition, fresh juices are pressed at every step - pomegranate, orange, grapefruit, just a miracle, you will not want water. I don’t know about the coffee maker in your hotel, it’s usually not customary for them, I always carry a small 0.7 liter travel kettle with me.

We are not talking about a 5 liter bottle. You can take 5 one-liter bottles or one bottle. Everyone has their own ideas about zhlobstvo, and this is not about this, but about elementary security, because instead of Jerusalem you can only see the bottom of the toilet bowl in the hotel, and then at best. The person asked - I answered based on my experience. You answered, based on your own - to carry your own kettle and use tap water. Where there is more redneck, one can argue. But I won’t advise you to carry a kettle with you and pour tap water for tea or coffee, which is not even recommended to brush your teeth, wash your face, and what to hide, wash, I won’t.

Galapagos, because it was said that you can buy water for a dollar and a half, read carefully, dear.
Well, generally speaking, if you have enough brought water for tea, brushing your teeth and washing your face, you are an economical girl))))
By the way, about hygiene, you are our careful. Jerusalem receives water from the Sea of Galilee, fresh and drinkable by definition. Here in Cyprus, tap water is desalinated from sea water at desalination plants, there are problems there. But this is so, by the way.
Have a good trip!

Most likely you will not be allowed to carry water by Ukrainian carriers. There are NO problems with water in Israel!!! She is everywhere. Drinking bottled water costs from 1.5 to 3 shekels a bottle (there are more expensive of course!). Liquids there at least need to drink 1.5 liters per day. On the beaches there are fountains with drinking water, you can always replenish your bottle. But if you don’t risk from the fountain, buy water in the market or take water from the cooler in the hotel. By the way, calmly boil and drink water from the tap, half of Tel Aviv lives like that. This is not EGYPT!

I imagined what would happen to the luggage of the passengers of the aircraft if, due to the difference in height and pressure, the 5-liter cylinder of another crazy person bursts in the luggage compartment. You always want to believe that the people around you are sane people, and not crazy rednecks. Is it really difficult to go to a supermarket near the hotel or on the territory of the hotel and buy water there? What a game!

There are no problems with water in Israel. If you stay in an expensive hotel, each room has a kettle, and there is a specially designated place on the floor where water is drawn. Tea bags and coffee are provided in the room, as well as soap and water accessories. And on the Dead Sea, the tap water in the hotel is simply of excellent quality, I speak as an allergic person with sore skin. If the hotel is of a middle class, like the New Palm in Jerusalem, then there is a 15-liter kettle boiled around the clock in the lobby and tea, coffee and sugar are freely available. Fresh mint and thyme are brought several times a day. Tasty.

I rented an apartment in Caesarea, just like at home I had to cook for myself - everything on tap water. The children of my friends who live in Israel, like all children in the world, sip water from the tap - and nothing - they are alive and well.

Hotels are different, then refer to the reviews of tourists on the hotel where you are going to stay, somewhere there is an electric kettle, somewhere not. For example, we took a boiler with us, but we practically did not use it, because even in the simplest treshka Netanya (where we stayed) there was a cooler with hot and cold water - access around the clock, i.e. you could safely at any time to get cold water or brew tea or coffee. Our hotel was so lousy that there was no tea bags as such: we brewed several bags in a common kettle (we never drank their tea, we had tea with us that we love). But water in Israel is excellent, perhaps there is nothing like it anywhere, even at home (we have several thousand rivers at home, even in the region, and there are no free drinking fountains anywhere! this is a shame), and due to the fact that plain water can be easily carried into hand luggage through the Israeli customs, we left with almost a liter of water, which came in handy while waiting for the next flight to Sheremetyevo, that’s where water is truly worth its weight in gold: a plastic glass of tea with a capacity of less than 150g - 40 rubles, and drinking water 0.3 l - 90 rubles!

"Most likely Ukrainian carriers will not let you carry water"
Why's that? Have you seen somewhere that Ukrainian carriers have a ban on carrying water in luggage?
