Day by Day
It’s highly recommended to book a pre-night in Jerusalem to recover from any jet lag you may experience. It’s also a good time to relax as the trip is quite face paced with very little room for free time. It’s also important to remember that the hospitality expectation can differ greatly from what you may be used to in your home country. The point of travel is to open yourself up to cultural differences and new experiences; practice patience and keep an open mind.
