Snow and rain in Israel (Reply to this comment)
by zvize
Igor,
I've been living in Israel for over 24 years and I must correct 2 of the facts you listed about Israel's climate:
1> In winters it DOES snow practically every year in Jerusalem and the nearby Judean mountains, the Golan Heights, Mount Hermon and the Upper Galilee - most notably in Mount Meron and the Safed (Tzfat) area. In other areas of the country it snows once every 40 years or so, except in the Negev and southward. I.e., in about 1950 it snowed in most parts of Israel, and again in 1992. I personally witnessed snow falling in the city of Karmiel which is in the central Galilee, 1/2 an hour's drive from Akko and an hour's drive from Haifa.
2> It sometimes starts raining already in September.
Anyone who's planning a trip to Israel must take these facts into account.

I liked you review. (Reply to this comment)

Maybe the only thing you could have added (but not necessary) would be places to stay when visiting this area (hotels, inns, etc). I'm no travel review expert, though!

You did a great job for your first travel review. I really enjoyed reading about Israel, since I have never been there. Some things that came to mind when reading your review were: What sights (if any) are located near the Dead Sea? Is there places to eat, or should tourists pack lunches? Is it far from any major cities, and should visitors make reservations at the surrounding hotels? What else is there to do in the area for entertainment? Are there any dangers to be aware of (aside from sunburn)? You get the idea....
I do like the incorporation of facts into the epinion. I did not know all that information about the Dead Sea.
Once again, you did a great job. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
Sincerely, Amber
