Creator's Key Takeaways
I found that you can either rent a car or take a bus I've ridden the bus now twice once from elot to Jerusalem and then once from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv each time it was a very affordable fair
I would say this is very much the Mediterranean climate it's mild year round even in the winters you're going to be looking at 70 to 72 degrees here in Tel Aviv
I found Israel to be full of very friendly people especially the young people young people I encountered were always very open and friendly
I would say you can still find 100 a night accommodation in Tel Aviv in abundance same with Jerusalem especially if you're willing to stay in a hostel or a pod hotel
