Tel Aviv - Travel Deals

When you think of relaxing vacation destinations around the world the chances are that Israel isn’t the first spot to come to mind. The images most of the outside world sees of the country are ones of bloodshed, violence and fear. The perception is that it is a dangerous place to be in a dangerous part of the world.

This perception does have its merit and as is the case whenever you travel to a foreign land you should be prepared to change your plans depending on the security situation on the ground. That said, plenty of people do travel to Israel and they do have a relaxing, sage and pleasant time.

Tel Aviv is an especially popular spot. It has wonderful beaches, fun nightlife and a relaxed feel to it despite existing in a country that is always on edge. It also happens to be an easy place to travel to thanks to airlines like Alitalia. For under $700 you can fly from New York to Tel Aviv. While you are there you can stay at one of any number of modern, affordable hotels. If you are on a tight budget, there are also some excellent hostels in Tel Aviv that are a great value.

Things have calmed down a bit in Israel lately, at least by the standards of calm that are applied to that region of the world. While you never know how things will be in the Middle East from day to day, the fact remains that it is a fascinating part of the world to visit and one worthy of a pilgrimage when the conditions permit.

Israel is a country dripping with history and sights to see. One of the must-sees is Tel Aviv, a modern city with a surprisingly happening nightlife and energy about it. Located right on the Mediterranian Sea, Tel Aviv is the second largest city in Israel. It has a temperate climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. In Hebrew it means “Hill of Spring”.

And here is your completely useless fact for the week: Tel Aviv is the sister city for both Philadelphia and Los Angeles. I guess there is no such thing are too many siblings.

Right now, at this very instance, you can fly to Tel Aviv from New York, Boston or Chicago for a mere $480 round trip. That is truly a bargain and a reason to head to the Middle East in the very near future.
