EGYPT AND MIDDLE EAST TOURS
Simmer down in Tel Aviv
One of the country’s most laid-back cities, Tel Aviv’s flexible nature is sure to rub off on many travelers on Israel tours.
Plans are often not made in advance in Tel Aviv, which has a go-with the flow policy that is quite infectious. “Leezrom,” a term used by locals commanding visitors to relax, will often greet new guests to the city, who may find the pace foreign, yet quite nice.
In town, travelers should feel free to forget their cares. Take a stroll or bike ride along the Mediterranean beachfront, where scents of jasmine and honeysuckle waft through the air like perfume. Sunny and warm year-round, guests will find the hot sandy beaches a welcome retreat to everyday life. To top it off, a plethora of breezy, open-air bars provide just a touch of luxury to this popular city attraction.
Despite being so tranquil, the town almost always has something open. Locals do their laundry at 3 a.m. after grabbing a bite to eat, and a number of nightclubs serve up rhythms to keep guests’ hearts pumping until morning. For the best restaurants and coolest clubs, travelers should not be shy in approaching locals. Known for their shocking honesty, Tel Aviv citizens won’t sell travelers any bilge.
