DO'S
Learn how to buy
When shopping in markets, always haggle over the price. Excuse me if it appears to be a little pricey but, no joke, it's truly a game in Israel. Hello, what is the price of this hat? Hmm, this one costs a hundred shekels. It's game time! The game has begun. Don't bargain with folks who have nothing to lose in this game since they will either refuse to offer you a deal or play the game with you.
Do ask questions
If you're lost, don't know where you're going, or just want someone to recommend a decent restaurant, this is the place to go. People in Israel like assisting others and demonstrating their knowledge of the area, so don't be afraid to ask questions.
It's perfectly natural. Many tourists, it appears, are hesitant to ask soldiers to pose for photographs with them. Don't be hesitant; we'd appreciate it if you could include us in your photo.
