Jerusalem: Resources, Tours and Tips
Tour Guide: Ori Unterman – oriunterman@gmail.com or +972 52 338 4669 She is a great local guide that can take you to see old and new Jerusalem. The Machane Yehuda Market.
National Holocaust Musem (YadVashem.org) – you can visit this museum on your own. Hire a guide when you get there or use audio head set. This is easily a 3 hour plus tour. You can do it quicker but you will likely miss parts of it. It’s big and beautiful and tragic and moving all at the same time.
Welcomepickups.com – rides from the TLV airport. Trip usually costs approx $110. You can jump in a cab for cheaper.

Jerusalem: Food & Drink
Masada & The Dead Sea
Masada and The Dead Sea Drive along the shores of the Dead Sea to Masada and learn about the heroic story of the Jewish fighters. Take the cable car up and tour the mountain fortress built by King Herod, where the Zealots made their last stand against the Romans. Visit the remains including: a palace, synagogue, water cisterns, mosaic floors, roman baths, walls and other findings. Descend by cable car or hike both ways.
Now continue to the Dead Sea! The lowest place on earth. Enjoy the unique opportunity to float in the Dead Sea. You will not believe how buoyant you are. Then cover yourself with the mineral rich mud that many believe has therapeutic effects and wash it off in the water. Make sure to bring towels, sunscreen, water and flip flops. Do not shave anything the day you go for if you do the salty water will burn the shaved area.

Petra & Wadi Rum, Jordan – Incredible!
Bethlehem, Banksy & The Banksy Hotel and Hebron Information
Below are pictures of Banksy’s hotel that he secretly built in Bethlehem. And yes it faces the wall 10 feet away. The rest of the pictures are of the interior of the hotel except for the Dove and Flower Thrower pictures that are actually painted on the wall.
You can actually stay in the hotel and walk through the museum inside that Banksy created about the conflict. Seeing his hotel might have been better then seeing the girl with the balloon destroyed at auction. The guy is a a creative genius. When I was asked recently, if granted a wish, who was the one person that I would love to have dinner with, I can unequivocally say it would be Banksy. Please go see and even stay in his brilliant hotel. And maybe track him down at a concert or two???

Al – Surfara Restaurant – www.facebook.com/مطعم-السفراء-Al-sufara-Restaurant-315722595985/ – this is a very local family owned hole in the wall with great shawarma and falafel. They make the falafel right in front of you on the street. The salad and pita are also very very fresh. This place is in front of the church 100 yards up the little shopping street near the fake starbucks.
