At the airport, the rates are bad: in my opinion, it’s better in a private exchanger and not in banks .. But in general, “in big cities in centers and in private exchangers.

at the airport it is better to use an ATM! you know approximately how much you need, for example, by taxi, so withdraw the required amount. in shekels, of course.

You will almost never need shekels. All shops, street vendors, cafes and pubs are happy to take dollars, and it is usually more profitable to pay with them than with shekels. Surprisingly, dollars are not taken in kibbutzim (there are good cafes and shops at kibbutzim), at bus stations, and, oddly enough, in city markets equipped with cash registers. Do not change much, let the dollar be your main currency. Arabs change well in their stalls or just on the street.

for sure!!! great advice!!! they accept dollars for payment, and change is given in shekels :-) and each has its own exchange rate, which is beneficial for the seller.

no seller will give you change in dollars because it is not profitable

Nothing like this. Change from dollars is ALWAYS given in dollars. Dollars are such a popular currency that sellers often simply do not have the national currency - shekels. I don't know where you were thrown like that. I have been to Israel, maybe not as often as you, but I had no problems with dollars.

Well, here's another argument in favor of the dollar in Israel. Go there already with your bucks and no problem.

when leaving Russia, you can buy 1,000 euros for 44,000 rubles and sell it in Israel for 5,000 shekels (in a Jewish exchanger) or for 5,110 shekels (in an Arab exchanger)

a question for those who pay in dollars: if a jar of cream costs 250 shekels, I give a bill of 100 dollars, how many dollars or shekels will they give me change?

I didn't buy cream. But the rest of the goods in dollars are sold at the rate of $ 1 = 4 shekels. FOUR! Almost all outlets. Were in a kibbutz, a Jewish commune, dined in their restaurant - only shekels. Bazaar in Jerusalem - rarely anyone took dollars, only shekels. And that's it. In all other places - dollars and only dollars. Especially the Arabs. They hate America and love dollars very much. Maybe you have been to places where Jewish patriots despise any currency other than the national one. I have not been to such places.

Arabs are always bargaining. So this bargaining often comes down to a more favorable dollar exchange rate for the buyer. I don't know why, but it is.

what's with the patriots? Dollars are accepted everywhere. but change is given in shekels at the rate of 3.65 shekels per $1. no one will give change at the rate of 4 shekels per dollar. in ein bokeh, for example, they change and give change at the rate of 3.5 shekels per dollar, in tel aviv 3.6 shekels per dollar.

Besides cash, I always pay by card. I have Sberbank. ruble. visa and master. double conversion takes place on the card: ruble - dollar, dollar - shekel. but at the official exchange rate of the country, not the bank. the bank only withholds the commission. the last time was in June-July of this year, and so I got an exchange of 8.16 rubles per shekel.

The card is certainly the best, and more reliable. Trying to save some pennies with cash is unwise. Abroad with a card I feel calm and confident.

if you spend 100 dollars or more at a time (362.80 shekels), ask to fill out a TAX REFUND declaration (3 sheets are filled in: the store, you and customs). At the airport, you will be refunded the amount of VAT (see VAT SUM check). At the airport, they will ask you, they say, as you wish, get the money in cash or on a card - take only cash dollars (by the way, you can buy something else for them in duty free). Cash bucks were given to me immediately at the airport, and they promised me a card for three months, they have already passed, but there is still no money.
