Oftentimes your baggage is either lost or it comes back damaged. To avoid lost luggage simply mark your luggage as fragile.

In truth, your luggage will be treated with extra care or at least handled properly. In fact, your luggage will probably be on the top of the pile in the planes storage compartment.

Not only will your luggage avoid being trampled and smashed by being on the top but you will most likely receive your luggage first.

Where there are waves - there will be surfing. Have you seen waves in Israel? And so, had the opportunity to watch the brave sea cowboys of all ages, who are united by an unstoppable love for the oceans and seas and such an attractive surfing. Given that this sport is in trend today, we decided to ride to the best places to swim with a board on the Mediterranean coast of Israel.
▪️
🌊Palmahim
▪️
In search of the golden wave in any case can not miss the protected beach, Palmahim. This is one of the few paid beaches, but the pleasure is worth it. On the beach you can make fire, barbecue and spend the night in tents.
▪️
🌊Hof Jerusalem
▪️
Further to the north, another well-known surf refuge - Jerusalem Beach (located in Tel Aviv), also known as Hof a Holsim, which translates to «surf beach». This is an open-ended beach break with high quality waves, which with a good cut reach two meters.
▪️
🌊Bat Galim
▪️
The final point of our journey is Bat Galim in Haifa. Here the hardest community of surfers in Israel is on the defensive. These northern guys have a certain jealousy about flying athletes: spot is just as good for classic, kite and windsurfing. This is where the annual Red Bull Storm Rider windsurfing championship takes place with the participation of invited surf gurus from abroad.
▪️
▪️
Of course, this is only a small part of the total set of beaches of our magical country. Surfing in Israel is almost everywhere and, most importantly, all year round. In each coastal city there is a successful corner (and more often and not one!).

The Pesach, or Jewish Easter, is one of the main Jewish feasts commemorating the liberation of the Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt. It begins on the 14th day of the spring month of the Nisan according to the Jewish lunar calendar and is celebrated for seven days in Israel and eight days outside the country.

Holiday history

According to the Bible, the Jews who settled in Egypt gradually became slaves to the Egyptians. The Lord, desiring to save the Jews, sent calamities against the Egyptian people, which in the Pentateuch were called "The Ten Plagues of Egypt". Despite the destruction of cattle and crops, the darkness and sickness of the people, the Pharaoh did not agree to release the slaves.

On the eve of the worst, the tenth ex*****on, when one night all the firstborn of the Egyptian people were killed, the Most High told Moses that every Jewish family before ex*****on slaughtered the lamb, and his blood marked the front door so that the plague would bypass them.

And on the night of the 14th day of Nisan the Lord passed by the marked houses. After this Moses was able to take away the Jews from the Egyptian bo***ge.

Since then, Jews around the world have celebrated the Passover (translated into Hebrew as "passing by") - a holiday of exodus from Egypt, it is also called the time of birth of the Jewish people.

We are looking for a hotel for ourselves. How to do this as intelligently as possible?
⠀
optimal circuit:
⠀
1. First - Booking.
There is a convenient search and many reviews. Choose several hotels, look where we are, compare the rating for location, cleanliness, breakfast and other things that are important to you.
In order not to waste time, put filters, sir, to have a pool, not a hostel, or not an apartment hotel.
⠀
2. With several options check Trivago, Islet, and the hotel website. Drive the name in the search and see where the most advantageous price on booking.
Specify, this price is prepaid or already in the hotel. If the timing of the trip is floating, we choose the optimal cost among the offers with payment for the settlement, or a couple of days before.
If the exact dates are known, pay the hotel in advance, as the savings can be significant.
⠀
3. When a free week flew out unexpectedly, and it’s not the peak of the season, you should investigate the app on the phone Hotel Tonight.
In the same Tel Aviv, you can find a hotel with a 50% discount, and today, in Miami - generally there is an option for 71$ in a hotel with a pool.
But - in the app are looking for options only for the nearest dates (about a week). The closer the date - the discount is greater. Of course, it only works if there are hotel seats as such.
Therefore, at the peak of the season, still items 1 and 2.
If you are going to Israel - do not forget, after figuring out the optimal cost, consult with us.
First, in most cases we will offer the best price, and secondly - it is here that there are too many factors to consider - and location in a multinational city, and timing of arrival and departure (Shabbat and religious holidays), and planned routes - all this can affect not only the cost of the trip, but also your pleasure, from staying in our country...
All these manipulations do not take much time. If you know exactly what and why you do, your actions are optimized, and money saved.
⠀
Have a good rest!

🐦 Two species of pigeons live here.
Usual, only with more fluffy legs, and forest (Gorlitsy).
🦇 at night, the doves are replaced by bats. They run from tree to tree in a panic, and parking lots, car parks, under spreading crowns, do the last, and very reluctantly...
🌴 Most of the trees here are numbered.
They are watched and looked after, and sorrow is upon the one who has encroached on the green Israeli citizen.
🌺 in the flowerbeds and parks - all from childhood familiar flowers.
True, in Russia, they grow on windowsills and in tubs. Ficus, cacti, begonia...
There’s even geranium in here, but not in pots.
🐱 There are a few species of cats that have spread around the world, and here wandered, unusual us, Egyptian seals.

On Friday, Israel switches to daylight saving time, which means summer is just around the corner. 
And before it gets too hot, let


In any cafe water is free. Yes, yes! You can go to any cafe and order a glass of water, with nothing to pay. And also, by default, before the first course comes a pitcher of cold water...

Coolers on the streets. On the streets of the city, most often in parks, you can find municipal installed cranes with clean water. You can drink, pack a bottle with you, or drink a dog. 

In need of wood. In Israel, you can freely go on a small need under any tree. The State thanks you for the free watering.

You want to drink, and there are no shops, cafes, etc., you can knock on any door and ask for water. The owner does not have the right to refuse you.



In any organization water is freely available. Going to any bank, office or ministry, you, on request, will give a glass of water. However, most often in the hall is just a cooler with cool water. You can go in, drink, and go on.



Water is always with you. Despite the previous points, Israelis always carry a bottle of water with them. This habit is learned from childhood.

Children in schools may go to the toilet or drink without the teacher

Water from the tap can be drunk. The Ministry of Health closely monitors the quality and taste characteristics of the water in the taps. Twice a year, they check the water in all parts of the country. 

There are a lot of stray cats in Israel, and you often find a man who pours water on a bowl for cats.

In the fountains you can swim. Period.

Hebrew lesson. Water in Hebrew מים (Mim). Bottle - בקבוק (bacchus), and glass - כוס (braids). You can ask for water: בבקשה מים כוס (Maim, Bewakasha), and in the store Ah yes, בבקשה (Bewakasha) - that

In Israel it is customary to drink always, even when you do not want to. There is a saying that came from the Bedouin: If you felt thirsty, you late.

Wajih Nuseibe, Gatekeeper and Key Keeper of the Holy Sepulchre.
"Every day I come here and open the church doors - two huge doors, six meters high.
The Caliph entrusted this to my ancestors, and our family, who came to Jerusalem with Omar, has since fulfilled their duty to protect the church from the vandals and serve as the guards of the temple doors.
That makes 638 the year 1381.
And this key has been here since the beginning of the Ottoman period. So, since 1524. It weighs from a pound and a length of fifty centimetres.
So, at 3:30 in the morning, I go to the temple, and I open the doors.
Interesting ceremony, but you must get up early to see it. Inside are three monks - Catholic, Greek and Armenian. They pass me a ladder through the window, and I open the top lock with it.
During the holidays, of course, there are more worries. Especially at Easter. On such days, the main thing is that at the entrance to the Temple there is no crowd. So, I keep my hand "on the pulse" and I check it myself.
I’m also the one sealing the stone slab of the Holy Sepulchre.
Before the Patriarch of Jerusalem begins his prayer for the Grace of Fire..."
Well, maybe a hundred years ago was a little different, maybe now a little different...
But it’s basically like Saladin.

The road to Eilat through the Negev is boring and monotonous. You look at the desert and you think it’s empty. I mean, it’s got nothing, no life, just sand.
Actually, it’s a hell of a lot.
There are fantastic panoramic views, canyons and gorges, channels of ancient rivers and giant craters.
And also, in the desert there are flowers. They happily bloom, surprising a range of colours, with great enthusiasm, the truth - for a short time.
After a few hours, they dry out and die under the hot sun.
You look at them, and you look at them even more, knowing that they will soon be gone.
So, God must be looking down on us wandering through the desert...

Europe, the Balkans, West Africa.
Hundreds of years of trade with Morocco contributed to the fact that a significant part of the Spanish community found itself on ancient Berber soil.
To the delight of gourmets, northwest Africa did not fall into the sphere of influence of the High Port, so local traditions of Arabic cuisine did not pe*****te vegetables stuffed with meat, or a variety of Turkish sweets, such as baklava.
Unlike the Ottomans, with their insatiable appetite for mutton, the main meat, which both Moroccan Arabs liked to use, and subsequently Moroccan Jews - beef and veal.
Typical products of Moroccan cuisine: beef, rarely lamb, olive oil, couscous - all that is familiar and loved by the Jews of the Mediterranean, and in addition - a huge variety of spices, and a specific combination of sweet and salty.
There are two main courses, and two snack desserts, which distinguishes Moroccan cuisine from others:
🥣Tajin - meat on bone, vegetables, fruits/dried fruits, honey, spices, cooked in the same dish on a very small fire for a long time. Without adding water or broth. Only in its own juice, which gives a special meat, spicy taste of ordinary couscous.
🥣Pastilla, aka bastia, came with the Sephardi from Spain - laminated meat pie, combining the meat of a special breed of meat pigeons (squab), almonds, sugar, chicken eggs - chatterbox, chicken fat.
It is noteworthy that Arabs use butter in combination with meat, but this contradicts kashrut, so that Jews use melted chicken fat, which is even more profitable, to give raisins in the dish.
🥣Burekas, AKA borekitos - salty layer cakes. Coming into the Arab cuisine together with the exiles from the Pyrenees, they have a very insidious nature, as they can be stuffed with different, but always delicious.
🥣Fazuelos, aka Fazueo (Fazuelo), is a thin-rolled pastry honey. Roasted in a large amount of oil, watered with syrup made of sugar and honey, optional added a little spice: lemon juice, cinnamon...
We come; we try.
This is awesome, man!

Methuselah palm
In 1963, during the excavations of Masada, the fortress of King Herod, date palm seeds were discovered. In 2005, they were grown under expert control, and the tree, whose contemporaries became extinct more than 1,800 years ago, sprouted. In 2011, when it reached a height of 2.5 m, it was transplanted into open ground in kibbutz Ketura, which specializes in the cultivation of dates.
