In any country there is an unspoken, but clearly working set of rules. There is he and Israel, and if you go there for a vacation, it is better to read it. Then the journey will be cloudless and leave only positive emotions. Tours to Israel are a great opportunity to combine business with pleasure.
The first thing that can surprise an uninitiated tourist is the meticulousness that Israel pays to security issues. This is a meticulous inspection of luggage and personal belongings at the airport, and at least one security guard as an indispensable attribute of any, even a small, store. Going to shopping, be prepared that you and your bags will be checked with a metal detector. This does not mean that you look suspicious and look like a potential terrorist: a personal search in Israel is a standard procedure.
At railway stations, airports and other facilities considered strategic, precautions are even tougher, so it is not recommended not only do in these places pictures, but generally get the equipment out of the bag. As for luggage, do not leave it unattended. It's not that your things can be stolen: a bag standing alone against the wall can be perceived as stuffed with explosives. In the worst case, you will have to prove to the security service for a long time that you are simply forgetful and did not mean anything bad.
As a rule, problems with police in Israel do not occur to tourists - except when they really lead defiantly or violate the law .However, if you still fall into the category of "suspicious" citizens, you can be detained until the identity and for interrogation for a period of several minutes to several hours .If you spent at least a third of an hour on the site, remember: this detention already falls under the arrest category .In case of its unreasonable you can apply to the court for the protection of your rights and demand compensation of moral damages .Any detention should be documented by the police: in the form of a compiled statement issued to you in the hands of .
Special requirements for the appearance of the tourist also does not exist, except for situations when you visit holy places. The weather in Israel can be hot, however, even in this case, you should dress modestly, covering your shoulders and legs. And in order not to catch slanting glances in the temples, it is recommended (though not strongly) to wear a special headdress.
You can not play gambling in Israel - the casino is officially banned there. But if you still do not imagine a holiday without such adrenaline rush, there is a way out: become a passenger of one of the "floating casinos" plying in the water boundaries of Eilat. In appearance they are ordinary vessels, but as soon as they exit into neutral waters and formally leave Israel, they turn into floating zones for gambling tourists.
In 2010, Israel passed a law banning drinking alcohol in public places. Moreover, in the dark, guardians of the order are authorized to seize the alcohol you have, so it's better not to expose it if you are in crowded places. Buy alcohol in stores from 11 pm to six in the morning is also impossible: it is sold only in drinking establishments.
One of the most popular tourist sites of the State of Israel deserves special attention is the Dead Sea .Without knowledge of certain rules, bathing in it not only will not benefit your health, but it can also damage $ $ .Remember: go into dense salted water should not be more than twice a day, and one dive can not be more than 20 minutes .Make sure that the water does not get into the nose, mouth and eyes, and if this happens, immediately wash in a shower with a regular fresh drink .Freshwater shower in any case should be taken after the end of the session .To accidentally not hurt your feet, go into the water in tight-fitting shoes: if the shoes do not tightly cover the leg, it will necessarily pop up .Bathe neatly and carefully: The Dead Sea is not a place for ordinary pranks and games on the water: you can not only injure yourself, but also harm other bathers .
