Don\u2019t hesitate to travel off the beaten path \u2013 it\u2019s the only way you\u2019ll experience the unique lifestyles of the locals!<\/p>\n<p>The biggest misconception is that you shouldn&#8217;t travel to Israel because it isn&#8217;t safe. Let me tell you that when planning your trip to the Middle East, CNN is not your friend. Do yourself a favour and avoid getting pulled into the culture of fear. As long as you remain alert, register your trip with your government, and avoid travelling into contentious areas without the proper protections then you&#8217;re at no more risk of problems then <a href=\"\/days-to-come\/the-secret-side-of-tokyos-bar-scene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when sampling the finest Japanese whiskeys.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover the land that continues to inspire people today by checking out these can\u2019t miss highlights of Israel that you won\u2019t find in your standard google search.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Shuk, Jerusalem<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine every lively market scene you\u2019ve ever seen in a movie and turn the volume way up. This unique system of outdoor stalls and shops presents an entirely different (and less touristy) atmosphere than what you\u2019ll find within the Old City\u2019s walls. Prepare for sensory overload. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the pounds of colourful spices to the mountains of fresh dates you will not leave disappointed. Sample some of the best in Israeli cuisine from the fresh fish to the confectionery delight that is halva. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop by Thursday evenings to experience the excitement of pre-Shabbat rush. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: come back after dark to witness the transformation of the shuk from the bustling shopping centre to the lively bar scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/should-i-visit-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Should I Visit Israel?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-725 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160121-_DSC4851.jpg\" alt=\"Jerusalem\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160121-_DSC4851.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160121-_DSC4851-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160121-_DSC4851-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jaffa, Tel Aviv<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaffa is somewhat of a sleepy seaside town but its charm is endless. During the day consider catching a free walking tour where you\u2019ll learn about the legends and folktales behind the oldest parts of Tel Aviv. Take a stroll along the beach and admire the bravery of student surfers learning to catch waves in even the most intense storms. If you\u2019re in the mood to barter Jaffa\u2019s market is the place to be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other more famous markets, Jaffa\u2019s vendors have an intensity and uniqueness to them and their goods that is to be admired. Whereas you can expect overpriced and mass-produced trinkets in the Old City or the centre of Tel Aviv, Jaffa merchants take their wares more seriously. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to visit in the off-season to get the best deals and make sure to never accept any item at its original price. Bartering is expected and encouraged! Pro-tip: If you don\u2019t do well under intense scrutiny from eager salesmen, avoid these alleyways at all costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-720 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160114-_DSC4563-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Jaffa-Tel-Aviv\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160114-_DSC4563-Edit.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160114-_DSC4563-Edit-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160114-_DSC4563-Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Florentin, Tel Aviv<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York\u2019s East Village has nothing on Tel Aviv\u2019s Florentin district. With all of the charm and none of the pretension, Florentin is Tel Aviv\u2019s latest up and coming neighbourhood. The location of this medium-sized neighbourhood is key to its appeal as it\u2019s very well connected by foot to both Jaffa and downtown Tel Aviv. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re like me and you dream of enjoying the experience of clubbing but instead find yourself choosing to patron a low-key bar sampling Palestinian craft brews&#8230;well again, this neighbourhood is the one for you. On nearly every block you\u2019ll see some unique street art. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if graffiti isn\u2019t your thing you\u2019ll appreciate the political passion and frustration in many of the tags&#8230;everything from a stencil of a murdered Palestinian to a deflated Homer Simpson. Check out the Shuk HaCarmel or the Beit Ha\u2019ir Museum only a 20 minute walk from Florentin and 5 minutes from one another. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro-tip: You will witness the magic of tea like never before on the corner of HaShuk and Levinsky Street. Seriously, they have a magician or wizard or something dedicated to crafting the most beautiful and delicious hot and iced teas you\u2019ll ever have the privilege of drinking. You know you\u2019re in the right spot when you find the small pick-up truck with a gaggle of hipsters seated in the back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-721 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160122-_DSC4939.jpg\" alt=\"Florentin-Tel-Aviv\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160122-_DSC4939.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160122-_DSC4939-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160122-_DSC4939-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bet Guvrin National Park, Judean Lowlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll most likely need a car to get to this one but believe me when I say it\u2019s worth the rental fees. Bet Guvrin National Park is truly a sight to behold, so much so that I can\u2019t believe Israeli Immigration doesn\u2019t hand you a pamphlet for this park upon entry to the country. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The park, formerly the biblical City of Maresha, is located in the heart of the Judean lowlands and the aesthetic is somewhat similar to the rolling green hills of Wales or Scotland. However, the true discoveries and \u201cawe\u201d moments will be found underground in the complex and endlessly impressive networks of caves built during the Byzantine Empire. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas the Old City you\u2019ll see in Jerusalem today is in reality only approximately 200 years old, this ancient city was constructed over 2000 years ago during the First Temple Period. The park was only designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 so even the United Nations only recently picked up on the hidden wonders of the ancient City of Maresha. \u00a0Pro-tip: As this park is easily a full day experience, you may very well run out of time to explore it all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do yourself a favour and make Cave #7 \u2018Maze Cave\u2019 a priority. It\u2019s the largest and most visceral experience that all of the caves have to offer. You\u2019ll find yourself crouching and sidestepping through gaps in the soft, chalk-covered rocks so it\u2019s worth noting that it will be challenging for the less able-bodied person. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-717 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160120-_DSC4768-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Bet-Guvrin-National-Park-Judean-Lowlands\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160120-_DSC4768-Edit.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160120-_DSC4768-Edit-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160120-_DSC4768-Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, you\u2019re of course going to complete your trip to Israel with a visit to the Dead Sea or Mount of Olives but there\u2019s something to be said for exploring the roads less travelled. Only once you deviate from the standard \u201cmust-see\u201d sites are you going to make memories all of your own and meet the locals with the unique stories to share. The beauty of Israel can be discovered anywhere, but the magic is found off the main roads.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original melting pot, Israel presents the unique opportunity to explore the cultures of three major religions all in one place.
