Important Information:
- Weigh Your Luggage Before You Depart: Check the luggage size and weight restrictions with the airline and weigh your luggage before you depart! This way you ensure you don’t overpack and won’t be stuck with issues or extra charges!
- Do Not Bring Anything Valuable: We suggest you do not bring any valuables on the trip with you.
- Have a Safe Spot for your Passport: It is important you know where your passport is at all times. Make sure you put your passport in a safe spot within your luggage and do not move it. This will ensure you do not lose it on the trip.
- Power Adapters: Don’t forget power adapters otherwise you won’t be able to use anything you bring that’s electronic. Israel has different outlets than America so it’s important to get the adapters so your electronics work!
- Power Converters: If you have things such as blow dryers, hair straighteners, electric buzzers, etc. a power converter will be necessary in order to use these items! The electrical current in Israel differs from America, you will want a converter that will change the electric current from 110 volts to 220 volts.
