There may be no best time to travel, as there are pros and cons to travelling at each time of year.  During Winter which is December-February, the winter is not hard in Israel and it is much less crowded everywhere. The temperatures start to rise around March and April- which is the beginning of the Spring.  May-June & September –November -the high season, the weather is perfect but it is busy everywhere. Summer -July & August- is very hot. The temperature are 32 degrees Celsius and up. The humidity along the coast is high, and even higher inland.  Around the Christian and the Jewish holidays it is busy and the hotels are expensive.

Our local guides speak a variety of languages. English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese speaking tour guides are all available.

For travel to the Holy Land, do not exchange money here in the United States. Take dollar bills as they will come in handy for tipping and small purchase items. American dollars are accepted everywhere, and you get more for your money when you exchange in Europe.

We highly recommend that you contact your credit card company and your bank before your departure to let them know that you will be out of the country and that you may exceed your normal spending patterns. For Europe, we encourage you to get euros before travel. Shop around to see where you can get the best rate.

Attraction Tours reserves the right to change the itinerary or name alternate dates due to such unforeseen circumstances or emergencies.

Dress should be comfortable but appropriate for the many sacred places we may be visiting. Dress up clothing is not needed. Ideally, men and women should wear long pants-no shorts. Women may prefer to wear skirts or dresses, but it’s not necessary. Jeans, slacks, and nice jogging pants are acceptable. We recommend tops should have sleeves and should not be revealing. The weather can be unpredictable. Dressing in layers is suggested. Typically, a short-sleeved shirt or blouse is adequate during the day. But you should have long sleeved shirts and a jacket/coat for cooler days and evenings. If you tend to get cold easily, you may want to take a lightweight scarf. Wear warm clothes. Tennis shoes or walking shoes are a must. Break them in well in advance of the trip. You may want to take an inexpensive pair of flip flops for walking around your room or for use in the bath areas.
