Tips
- Israel鈥檚 road network is well-developed. Most streets are asphalted and in very good condition. Almost all streets have a wide hard shoulder which is nicely usable for cyclists.
- The best time to travel is either spring (March/April) or fall (September/October). The summer months should be avoided, in the mediterranean region, at the Red Sea as well as at the Dead Sea and in the desert, temperatures can reach up to 50掳C or more.
- Jewish shops are closed during the Sabbath. The Jewish day of rest starts on Friday at dusk and ends at the same time on Saturday. Muslim shops are closed on Fridays and Christian shops are closed on Sundays.
