7 Things You Must Do In the First Time to Visit Israel
Whether you are traveling or business, whether you have one day or ten days, in Israel, this small place, the rich cultural and geographical attractions will surely surprise you. Here are seven things you must do when you come to Israel.
1. Mud Bath in the Dead Sea
The Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth, has plenty of oxygen here. The mineral-rich water is believed to have a miraculous healing effect. Apart from floating in the Dead Sea, where the salt concentration is much higher than ordinary seawater, the most interesting thing is to rub the body with the Mud, in addition to bringing you back to the fun of rubbing mud as a child, most importantly, it will make your skin silky smooth.
By the way, you must prepare a magazine or newspaper in advance, even if it is in Hebrew, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, because you need to “read” on the Dead Sea like people from all over the world. Read the newspaper and take pictures for nostalgia.
2. Pilgrimage in Jerusalem
As the holy place of the Three Religions, Jerusalem bears too much heavy history. The religious history of Jerusalem is the most real and complicated existence that brings you closer to their culture.
You need to go to the Wailing Wall and watch the devout Jews pray in front of the only wall left after the destruction of their temple; look into the distance or go (if you have the opportunity) to the Al-Aqsa Mosque to feel the piety of Muslims; and then follow Jesus’ Step, feel the death of the "sorrowful road", and watch how those Christians from all over the world make a silent pilgrimage at the church of the Holy Sepulchre at the end of the "sorrowful road".
3. Feast in Tel Aviv
Don’t get me wrong. Of course, Tel Aviv is more than just eating. There are so many things to do in Tel Aviv. There is the world’s most beautiful Mediterranean seaside, the world’s oldest building-the Old City of Jaffa, and you can see the "White City", which is a world cultural heritage with the most Bauhaus-style buildings in the world.
However, it is important to note that in Tel Aviv, there is a very important thing that you must do, and that is to eat.
Tel Aviv gathers cuisines from all over the world, and famous Israeli chefs. It would be a pity if you didn't go to Tel Aviv. Here, you should temporarily forget your own dietary preferences, feast on it, and eat all the world delicacies prepared for you by famous Israeli chefs.
4. Feel the breath of technology and nature in Haifa
The Baha’i Garden in Haifa is a world cultural heritage. The garden is spread all the way from the top of Mount Carmel to the blue Mediterranean. The layout and plant design in the garden are so amazing that only when you stand in front of it can you feel the power of “nature”.
5. Visiting the local market
If you feel that you have been flying for more than ten hours, but it is not worth it to visit the farmers market in Israel, then you are very wrong. With the development of modern society, most of us buy things in supermarkets, and the local market is the most direct livelihood stage in a culture. Here, you can see all living beings. In addition to these, the market is a collection. Sounds, colors, tastes and other elements will allow you to see the life and appearance of the most ordinary people in Israel, and get in touch with the most local items and eating habits, rather than regular tourist attractions.
Jerusalem has the famous Machane Yehuda market, and Tel Aviv has the famous Carmel market. By the way, if you are lucky, two days a week, you can also encounter various handmade products fairs of local street artists. And there is still a lot of shopping after the market in Jerusalem is closed. Here you can see the interesting graffiti art on the door curtain.
6. Tel Aviv, the more beautiful the night
As mentioned earlier, Tel Aviv is so exciting and there are so many things to do. However, in addition to eating, Tel Aviv at night is also the city's business card. Tel Aviv is the youngest city in Israel and the place where young people want to live. Here, people don’t seem to need to sleep. They work during the day and revel in the evening. Entering the nightlife of Tel Aviv is the best way to get to know the modern young people in Israel.
At night in this city known as the "Never-ending Mediterranean Pearl", you can find food late at night and go to the most charming bars such as Otzar and Port Said. If you want to dance wildly, then The Block will be a wise choice.
7. in a daze in Eilat
Eilat is not only the southernmost port of Israel in terms of geographical location, but in the hearts of Israelis, Eilat is also the best choice if you don’t want to travel abroad. There is a rich and colorful Red Sea here. Colorful water and underwater activities, various levels of leisure resort hotels.
Even if you don’t dive, don’t go out to sea, don’t like playing with dolphins, and don’t like watching the stars in the desert at night, Eilat has its own unique charm. It is such a city that allows you to relax and have nothing to do with peace of mind. This is probably the most rare "inaction" time in our rapidly developing world.
