Israel travel

I am planning an 8 day trip around Israel in mid August on rented bike during extended layover to US . I have never been to Israel before and plan to stay away from risky places and not to cross any borders. Would appreciate any suggestions and comments. Thanks

Hi Steve

You will be surprised how safe and relaxed Israel is. Just remember that there is the Palestinian authority that entering to its place you will go across some check points that will give you all the info about what is ahead.
Not sure if you can rent a real motorcycle here. just a small cc mopped (Katnoa).
Anyhow Israel is so small that in 8 days you can see it 3 times.

Have fun
Y.

I rented a motorbike in Israel several years ago and visited Israel and Palestine for one week, and I really enyoyed it.
It's incredible how many places westerns know of both countries by name.
Below, I leave you a link with the trip I did.
Regards.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
