The Waze Navigation application is very efficient in Israel. It can be used in English and other languages, and beyond the navigation to the destination, it provides real-time updates on traffic, accidents, speed cameras and other road hazards. You can use it to navigate to our doctor in Tel Aviv at Reines 18 Street.

It is recommended to taste the food wherever you visit. Israeli food is great, and the variety is outstanding. Also, try some Israeli wines. They are truly world-class!
When traveling by taxi – ask the driver to use the meter and while he is driving, use a map on the phone so you can see that he picks the shortest way. Taxi drivers in Israel tend to "inflate" the travel expenses of tourists. You can also use the "Gett" application – it is very useful in Tel Aviv. The route and price is monitored, and any problem can be solved later with the company's customer service.
It is highly recommended to apply sunscreen daily. Israel is a very sunny place. If you have forgotten sunscreen, you can find any pharmacy or supermarket.
