Israel Travel
I looked at all the other countries in the middle east travel section and they actually ask travel questions. So here's my Israel "travel" question. What is the ideal beach town in Israel to vacation in? Hey Michael, when you say Tel Aviv, do you mean Ra'anana specifically? What's that place like? Thanks. I think I found an answer. I think a lot of people come here to smear Israel, that's probably why you notice a lot of political stuff on this board. As for the ideal beachtown, I've to completely disagree with gratvol on this one. Eilat's great for scuba diving, but the beaches leave a lot to be desired, especially because Eilat is a major port for Israel. I don't know about you, but I don't like to lounge on a beach with a view of supertankers (don't get me wrong though, Eilat harbour is beauuuuutiful). I think along the Mediterranean coast, you can find fabulous beaches anywhere. My favourites include the Students Beach in Haifa, the Herziliyya Beach, and the Caesaria Beach. Ra'anana is a suburb northeast of Tel Aviv. It is quite wealthy and has a lot of nice shops and restaurants. There are a lot of immigrants there, especially from the USA and South and Central America. You'll here a lot of Spanish and American-accented English on the streets there.
