Eleven things you should be aware of before visiting Israel 2023

When I go to a new country, I research what is essential.

Moon Rise over the valley. This day we saw the moon rise as the sun set!

Transportation, clothing, weather, and whether or not the country is expensive or affordable. Yet with that said, you can make any country affordable if you want.

So that should never deter anyone from visiting a country. I have seen some of the most expensive countries in the world and did not break the bank.

So a few of these things on the list I did research but got the wrong information when I looked online, so I would like to give you my thoughts on what to know before visiting; it is not a complete, in-depth, detailed list, but it is good to know but not the gospel.

What to know before visiting Israel.

Shabbat

Shabbat falls on Friday afternoons and lasts until sundown on Saturday nights. Which means anything Jewish ran will be closed. When I was in Jerusalem on Shabbat, it was like a ghost town in the Jewish part of town.

However, the Muslim section is still open. So I ate and shopped at Muslim ran establishments; however, the buses were closed, but you could take a taxi.

Israel is still a country at war.
