I'm going to Israel next week for 10 days. Does anyone have any favorite beaches, clubs or bars they would recommend? If anyone has some input on past experiences in Israel, please share. Thanks.
i went to netanya and the beach there was amazing. we went early in the morning and it was completely empty and there was a really great restauraunt right on the beach. we went during the weekdays because on the weekends its much too crowded.
i only went to bars that my cousin took me to but i can recommend a fantastic restaraunt in abu ghosh called "the lebanese restaraunt". if you go you will know which one it is because it is the only legitimate looking restaraunt in the village. we went there everytime we visited jerusalem on the way back.
and not a bar/restaraunt/beach, but i recommend going to dalit el-carmel, it's a druze village (the druze people are pro-israel arabs, extremely patriotic for their country) and good for legit souvenirs and amazing food.
if you have any other questions feel free to ask because i've been to israel every other year since i was little.

That sounds great. You seem to know a lot about Israel which I think is great. I'll be doing all of the tourist type things like spending time at the Kotel, the Beha'i Gardens, and going to an Israeli military base. We are thinking about flying from Haifa to Eilat, but I've been told it will be too hot right now. Do you have any advice about that? Given that I only have 10 days on this trip, would you recommend traveling to any wineries? Thanks for the advice by the way. I've never had the opportunity to visit Israel before, but I think it's amazing that you make it back so often.
If you like wine, then yes, go to the wineries. Also, I would drive to Eilat, cause you can see The Ramon Crate, which is cool, and you can see the Qumoron caves and other shit if you drive. Most places in Israel are only 3/4 hours away max.

Safer then walking in central park at night. Everyone has a gun, and if you are with a tour guide, they will have a gun too. Places you are going are not trouble spots. The press likes to play it up, but it is safe. If you want to see something the press is not reporting, go over to Sedrot, and ask them how the peace process is working out.

To be honest, I'm not nervous at all about traveling to/in Israel. I'll have my own private guide and, personally, I think the media hypes up what they consider danger. There are streets in Miami I wouldn't walk down at night, but that doesn't mean Miami is a dangerous place per se.
Thats good to know. I admit, my question is based solely on media reports and what not. I have never known or spoke to anyone that had actually gone there. And yes, the media hypes a lot of that shit up, but then I see pics of the country and beaches, and fine ass topeless Isreali women, and think to myself, "it can't be that bad"
