City Guide Tel Aviv, Israel

The 52nd State

I enjoyed Tel Aviv as a city but would never travel back to Israel in any way as a tourist. The treatment I got from security at Tel Aviv Ben Gurien airport was similar to how German SS acted during WW2. I was subjected to harrassing questions for two hours, invasive bag searches and a personal search of my body. I have no political affiliations but this place (Israel) is bad, what I encountered at the airport disgusted me. Harrassment of me and others; simply hate-filled questioning.

Insider Tip:Don't visit this country. I would encourage all fellow human beings and fellow travellers to visit any other destination or country; one that offers visitors a better welcome upon arrival and one which fosters a sense of good will upon disembarkation and farewell. Israel is a hate filled country and that hate is rubber stamped by the state under the name of brainwashed 'values'. Avoid it and go somewhere you will get a better welcome.

Still milk and honey.

Obviously we are in love with Tel-Aviv but trying to be objective about the city. And the country. The weather, the beaches, the food, the markets, the museums, concerts, the vibrant architecture - and the people's general helpfulness, a sensable community spirit made our stay unforgottable again.

Insider Tip:The small buses stop anywhere on their route not only in the bus stops for you request. To buy an Israeli sim-card for your mobile is a very simple and inexpensive solution.

Nice city

Didnt do much besides strolling at the beach, eating out and clubbing for a couple of days. Nice vibe, lots of young people and fantastic eating.

Tel Aviv is a must

My favourite place in Israel. Harry's bar on the beach front is a great place to go at night with (good) live music and friendly English speaking staff (offering great travel advice and free shots!)
