6 Tourist Pitfalls in JERUSALEM (and how to avoid them..) 

I had also a similar situation, I was very thirsty and someone gave me and my sister water free of charge

@@granttaylor4762 it was bottled water, from a refrigerator filled with soft drinks

Scammers are all over the world. We must be smart enough not to be fooled by their antics.

I am not scammer😂 I don't know how to steal money from yr account, Jesus teach me how to be generous particularly those are in need😅😅😅.. When someone find me, they cannot touch my account because I already changed and I decided to stay in my side to rest my mind from anything. Once again am not scammer😂😂😂

😂, yeah I am not scammer😂😂 i am a kind like others😂😂

Very good 😂

Me too ..as a woman I traveled to Jerusalem once a year for years…always wore sunglasses and never made eye contact while in the Old City shopping…did my shopping on Ben Yahuda street…lots of shops there…good prices….good food…

Most common throughout the world.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

In Shenshen the driver using a calculator multiplies the amt. on the meter by the number of passengers

If they had grey uniforms they weren’t border police who have green uniforms. Just saying FYI

@@davei8010 No way! The barret is green, uniforms are grey though.

I never enter those shops. It's like entering the office in Monty Python sketch "I wish to have an argument" - you're just going in for an ridiculous discussion. If I want to see stuff I go to a museum. If I want to buy stuff, I just do it online. I can "deal" with high-pressure salesmen, but after a while it just drains my energy.

Palestinian Christians, Orthodox Jews, Hasidic Jews, Haredi Jews, lev Tahor Jews and Neturei Karta Jews are ALL against Zionism, Zionist Jews and against the synagogue of satan state called israhellll : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mPRjWF1sldM.html

When? I was so into the filming I didn't hear anyone

You have to learn to ignore the sellers and wear sunglasses to avoid eye contact…it works 😎

@@Goldencitygirl yeah.. or just avoid the markets. If I can't enjoy the views of the shops, then what's the point of going there at all.. Places where taxi drivers hang around can be stressful too, but there is not much sightseeing to be done there, so I just keep my head down and pass them by quickly.

@@markrcca5329 …that works too…most of the shops pretty much have the same thing…I have been there earlier in the morning and not so busy…I look from a distance…and avoid showing much interest unless I am…some interesting stories to tell when it comes to shopping in the Old City…I have a few that still bring a smile to my face…my last trip was in 2018…I had a trip planned for 2019…but that changed and I haven’t been back…I do miss the sights and sounds of Jerusalem…I use to go every year to volunteer for a week..and then have time on my own…

Vert true! The in formation center is really good

@@user-ce1kw2ss5f Zionism???? Muslims are allowed to live and work in Israel. Christians and Jews arent even allowed to visit Mecca and Medina. What about that? Muslims are the last ones to complain about Zionism.

@@user-ce1kw2ss5f It aren't the Jews forming a nation for themselves.....its YHWH doing that! The Promised Land.....awesome !! From history on....God showed His Power through the Jews and their way to the Promised Land. Christians and Jews respect Mecca and Medina being the Holy places for the Muslims..... Respect the fact that Israel is the Holy Place for Jews !!! You can live in Israel....but dont try to take over !! ( while Jews and Christians are not even allowed to visit Mecca and Medina !!) Sorry guy.....you Muslims are in the wrong !!

@@lotte5173 Why are you poking your nose on christians and snitching into their affairs. Palestinian christians are against Zionism, Zionist Jews and against israhellll. Palestinian christians like Orthodox Jews, Hasidic Jews, Haredi Jews, lev Tahor Jews and Neturei Karta Jews because they ALL denounce israhellll. Sorry, Zionist Jews but it's time for you to go back to your permanent residence to Auschwitz camps to be cremated again by ALL EUROPEANS .

Usually, when I am quoted an absurd price, I haggle. Sometimes you can bargain vendors down to a sixth of the first price quoted. Since many stores in the shuk carry the same merchandize, never even engage, until you've surveyed several stores. And, starting to walk out, can often bring the price down quickly. I usually start out in English, then switch to Hebrew, as the haggling becomes more intense.

Bargaining, great topic. Best tactic is literally saying no, and walking away. Best deal I ever got was 200 shekels down to 50. Many times in small stores, the asking price is merely the max they think they can get away with.

@@deborahfreedman333 if you enjoy that, that's great. I hate haggling. I'd just rather not buy anything at all than have to haggle over it.. Taking pictures is free.

I got a coup of juice for my wife, she tasted and than I asked the price, the guy said to me “50shekels”, $10 dolars for a small cup of juice. I almost returned it, but I payed and Iʼll never buy something there again.

Sir, there is an opinion that the wall has been built, not outside the perimeter, but inside the perimeter. Since most people have been exposed to the dead, and have not been purified by the red heifer, they cannot enter temple mount. Therefore, touching the wall can result in entering temple mount on in an impure state. Secondly, there is also a source that the shechina has never left the western wall. Therefore for that specific area of the wall has maintained It’s popularity as the place to go pray. Nice video.

People from Wisconsin enter Jerusalem for free!!

Good to know! 😂😂👍🏾

Quite true, only an Indian would know how to wheedle himself out of government imposed taxes too.

Yup...Air India did charm its way into flying over Saudi Arabia enroute to TLV...the first and maybe the only airline to do so 🙂

May I ask why you spent so long in Germany and what the relationship between Jews and Germans are now

@@lorraineprahm5461 Dear Lorraine, are you asking Oren or me? Quand a moi, it´s easy: I am a German. Regarding Oren, I think he spent quite a time here; but you´ll ask better him. Concerning your second question: For the jewish side I can only say, that as a German you get the feeling, that the Israeli are welcoming you. They suppose - in general - that a German tourist coming to their country will probably hold some sympathies for them. Probably, there might be some Israeli which would prefer not t meet Germans in their country. Personally, my wife, our sons and me never met such people; or, at least, they were too polite. And one of our sons spent a year in Israel, doing some social service there. For the German side: Most of us feel some sympathy with the jews in general and Israel in special. This holds especially with the conservative people, the right wingers, the ordinary chaps. For Israel, with his open patriotism is, seen from European perspective, a conservative, a right wingers country. The lefties have some problems with Israel, as some of them regard Israel as "US imperialists big stick"; nonsense, of course. Others lefties might critize Israel for being militaristic or patriotic; what endears the country to the right, make it difficult for the left. If you ask for antisemitism: This is rather rare among the Germans. For obvious reasons. Some people might have some prejudices (money making and that stuff), but in general: Rather not. A different matter it is with the immigrants from Arabia. Many of them are devoted antisemites; if you see news in TV regarding antisemitic rallyes in germany, it´s worth looking; probably, you wont find many Germans at such occasions.

Now is a good time. I am flying there Monday for 3 1/2 weeks. Early spring is also good.

August is horrible anywhere you go in the Mediterranean! Spring and fall is one to go also there’s apps so you can check the weather in advance!

Springtime is the most beautiful ( April /Mai ). Nature is green, the rains washed down the dust, it's warm, but not hot. Just watch the holidays, they bring a lot of tourists and everything is more expensive. ( Pessah, Easter, Memorial- and Independence day )

@@kathidori8504 If you go in spring, check out the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens.

@@MFPhoto1 Thank you.

Thanks! And wait for the next video...

I know!! Wait for the next one..

I couldnt believe it either, lol.
