Moving to Israel in 2 months. Any MP.net advice?

For the stamp...if you have a US passport the people will stamp on a piece of paper and put it in your passport.

Automatically or is this something I have to ask for?

I've given you the answer. Go forth and google.

Nope, didn't know that. What's the best way around this? Only Middle East countries I'd want to someday visit are Egypt, Iraq and Turkey. Problem?

Ive been in both Egypt and turkey, with my Israeli passport, some long time ago, but not problem at all.

So, just some advice, in Yerushalaim, there used to be some Jazz clubs very interesting there, in very old buildings, there are many museums, the Military cemetery in Mount Herzl is a must. Then you can get a copy of some Independence war, like Oh Jerusalem and try to get in the places depicted in the book, so you can get an idea of the problems of today's Yerushalaim. Eat at king of Shawarma in the corner of King George and Agripa.

They stamp automatically. Do not worry, you will be in good hands.

On a second thought. Ask to be sure.

Go to the dead sea! and if you can, take a few days and go south to Eliat.

Also YOU MUST taste their youghurt icecream

Eilat is a waste of time unless techno and hairy Russians wearing speedo's are your thing.

While we are on travel trips to Israel, which area has the best hummus?

This place in Tel Aviv - Look at my buddies face, he can barely contain his need for his shawarma and hummus.

Wish I could remember the name of the joint, it borders a traffic circle with a fountain and there is an ice cream shop across the street. About 1/2 KM south of the American embassy and 1 KM North of Jaffa. Just follow the sidewalk along the beach, you can't miss it.

[IraGlacialis]

Cool, I'll keep that in mind. As my likely intention upon visiting is to focus on the historical areas, I'm not sure how much I'll visit in Tel Aviv. Though I hear Jaffa is an interesting spot.

Also, have things improved any mass transit-wise?

[Elemental666]

If interested, I can PM you some of the few places in Ashqelon worth visiting. All depends on your interests (Pubs etc).

Yeah, they did a mass transit reform and it's now worse.

I hear Tel Aviv has awesome beach parties
