pilgrimage-wedding
We, t to went for a pilgrimage-wedding-St. travel, through TF Fast and the Furious + booked hotels not lower than 5 *, in reality it turned out to be different. Israel left a double impression. On the one hand, the biblical places where Jesus Christ walked, all the charm of the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, Bethlehem, Galilee, Jerusalem, Haifa. On the other hand, living conditions on a trip, when returning from long trips you just want to take a shower, eat delicious food, and relax. . So, the Dan Panorama hotel is not higher than 3 *, then the reception is all shabby, dirty. We lived in a superior room, a tiny room and bathroom. Dirt in the bathroom, the appliances were not washed for who knows how long, stains on the towels, dust in cm on the glass table. , shabby furniture. Food, they took a boarding house, so at first there was almost nothing, then some foreign pensioners came in large numbers and saved us, because they took dinner. and began to feed normally both in the morning and in the evening. We walked a lot around the city with an iPad, you can navigate without problems. I recommend the Israel Museum - you need a whole day! We took tours from the Rajwan company - around Jerusalem and Bethlehem - I liked it very much, it’s better to take candles in Bethlehem (they are special there, they smell! ), I bought the icon of the Mother of God of Bethlehem in the same place and consecrated eyes in the eyes in the temple. Near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, fakes are mainly sold, the candles are the simplest, the pieces are not silver, I bought a spinning, pilgrimage one, they sell copper under the guise of silver, because on the second day it rusted under glass. There are millions of traffic there. . Here they stir up, they are not afraid of God. Galilee tour - group up to 16 people, the trip itself is interesting, the guide is good, Jordan is a miracle! 5 hours! On a big bus - Caesarea, Haifa - very interesting and comfortable. Byba St. Peter's dish is better to try at sunset, without rushing. listening to the surf of the Sea of Galilee. . On the run, all the charm is lost, especially in these nasty eateries with a thousand traffic. . Ind. tour - very cool, guide Vidim (Rajwan) - many thanks, took us to Nazareth for a wedding, then he was with us all day to interesting places in the Galilee, where buses do not take. We went to Eilat by taxi through Masada, I highly recommend it, they organized an interesting museum. The King Solomon Hotel is really 4 *, the room is also improved, a little more and newer, the food is varied, close to the sea, there is where to take a walk. Do not go on Muslim holidays - the crowd will be very large. On the embankment, I bought interesting silver from Mark (his wife is from Yekaterinburg), I found good cosmetics in a large shopping center and also bought designer jewelry with a lifetime guarantee - Michal Negrin. Entertainment, bought at the hotel (and in vain) - on a sailboat, it turned out to be diesel, you can find boats cheaper on the pier. On the Dolphin Reef, in general, I liked it, there are inexpensive gifts to buy, there is a beach, flowering plants, you can rent a veranda, dolphins, diving with equipment, for the whole day rest. But the Observatory is not worth spending time and money, especially 3 days. For the youngest children, feeding koi, fish in an aquarium, on a submarine on an empty sea without bright fish and corals, a movie about a shark with jumping chairs. There is no beach. Very expensive and stupid shops with Chinese goods. The airport in Eilat is very close, very small, passed the check very quickly. In flight, only water and nuts. There were many checks in Ben Gurion, but they passed quickly, even the belts were not removed. If you are carrying cosmetics with MM mud, pack them separately in a bag, then you will pass without any problems.
