Act Like A Local in Israel

If you want to act like a local, then you may want to try out dressing like one. Israel is a very hot country and you would think that people there are in comfortable clothes. Go on and wear a comfortable shirt over loose pants or shorts. Match your attire with some comfortable sandals or sneakers when going around the city. You’ll definitely blend well with the locals in very casual and comfortable clothing.

Israel as a country is one of the friendliest! Share smiles with the locals and join the buzz in the city of Tel Aviv. Visit Lev Ha’Ir which is also known as the ‘heart of the city’ where you may find people in different walks of life; expats, locals, entrepreneurs, hipsters, families, and seniors pooling in one place to enjoy the neighborhood that is distinct for its skyscraper buildings and beautiful sceneries.

Don’t skip the best breakfast you’ll ever experience in Israel! Eat like a local and don’t miss Cafe Zorik. This cafe is located in Milano square and has been a go-to place for anyone visiting the country. The cafe was said to be serving the best breakfast since 2004 and is known to delight customers with their vegan items, pastries, spreads, and more!
