You can pay with dollars almost everywhere. From souvenirs, I would advise wine - it is sold in a shop on the Jordan River, and from Jerusalem - icons, candles, crosses, you can consecrate them in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher! In the market in Jerusalem, you can buy a lot of interesting things, hummus in boxes or spices, as well as dates, etc.

I strongly advise you to carefully buy silver icons, crosses and other jewelry in Jerusalem! Tour guides always bring tourists to the "necessary" stores, and the prices there are many times more expensive, icons are $ 600 each and they present this as sacred, like silver and clog tourists' heads, fooling money!!! When we lived in Jerusalem, we had time to look around ourselves to see what, where, how and how much, we saw a lot of shops and retail shops with similar goods and many times cheaper! One of them is the shop of the Greek merchant Dimitros- located a stone's throw from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (if you stand facing the temple, then on the left along the ladder is the second shop, there is something written by Dimitros), there are very good prices + it is well inferior! We bought a silver ring for my husband, I took a ring with a cross for myself a pilgrim made of white gold with a scattering of tiny but still diamonds, a daughter and goddaughter - gold crosses, a silver spoon and the same silver icons! Prices are very affordable and attractive!

They don’t sell anything in the Temple, there are a lot of shops around where all this is (separate candles, candles in bunches of 33 pieces, crosses, chains, icons, etc.), I can’t tell you about silver, I took small gold children’s crosses. Silver ones can cost $20-30

I advise you not to buy food, as there may be problems with checking it at the border control, preferably none, and even spices (sweets). -) wine can also be opened and "covered" back with a cork.

we were carrying dates, at the airport we "got on", but we said that we were taking our daughter, who loves them very much and asked to bring them - everything is fine, they missed it. They didn’t even say a word for wine and hummus, but apparently it was lucky) although we were warned that it was possible you will have to drink wine at the airport)) (jokingly of course) - strictly there, yes !!
