After leaving Orlando at 11:00 a.m on Saturday and meeting connecting flights in Washington, D.C., and Frankfurt, Germany, we arrived in Tel Aviv on Sunday afternoon. Israel is 7 hours ahead of eastern standard time.
Arrival at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Almost all signs in Israel, including street signs, are in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. We went through passport check and then were shocked when we approached Israeli customs and found the area closed. We just picked up our luggage and walked out. So much for Israeli security.
Tel Aviv at dusk from the roof of Hotel Carlton. Tel Aviv is called the “White City” because of the predominance of limestone structures. There is also a lot of German influence in the architecture. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are the largest cities in Israel, each with about 700,000 people.
