OHMYGOSSIP — I recently came back from my lovely vacation and must say that summer in Israel is hotter than hot! Last time I was in Israel in December and then the temperature was about 15 degrees colder. Now in August I experienced up to 42°C at Negev desert, in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was around 36°C.

The summer temperature is very pleasant in Israel (especially when you’re looking for a nice “beach and palms” holiday and wish to get out from the cold Scandinavian’s climate) but you need to know how to enjoy it without getting insolation! Here are a few tips to make your warm Israel vacation even more perfect in the summer time!

#1 DRINK WATER
You need it much more (at least 10 times more) than you think! You do not want to get dehydrated! So never go out without at least 1.5-2 liters cold water. In city you can buy it of course in every shop (prices start from 4NIS) and corner booth (prices start from 7NIS).


#2 COVER YOUR HEAD AND USE
SUN CREAM
If you don’t wish to get sun-sick, I strongly suggest to cover your head and for time to time to get your head wet is a great feeling as well (so extra bottled water for that!). Do not forget to protect your skin as well, so the sun protection cream is also needed!


#3 WEAR COMFORTABLE CLOTHES

Less is more – thin and light clothing is the best when it’s very hot! When in Jerusalem you may feel more comfortable with covered knees and elbows and more conservative clothes, than in Tel Aviv are most people in shorts and tees – especially when you are in the beach area. I do not suggest wearing any synthetics, the more natural your clothes are, the better you feel yourself.

#4 WEAR SUNGLASSES

Don’t forget your Gucci’s! ? The sun is bright!


#5 STAY BOTH IN AND OUT

Make your day plan and itinerary so that you are intermittently inside the shops/houses where is the air conditioning and walking or sitting under the sun.


#6 ENJOY LONG EVENINGS

Tel Aviv wakes up in the evening! You hardly see anyone at beach in day time, but after 6-7 the beach is crowded! Both young and elderly love to run, play volleyball, and swim, sit in the restaurants and enjoy life! So if you are on vacation, I suggest to walk and drive around the shops and markets, make shoppings, visit sites during the day and promenade, stay at the beach and just relax in the evenings.

#7 ENJOY FRESH FRUITS
Israel offers you so many nice fresh fruits. You can buy them from malls or street shops. They are fresh, cheap and goooood!


#8 VISIT WATER PARK/POOLS

Embrace the summer heat and cool off in Israel’s various outdoor pools. Take
your pick from relaxing in the middle of a desert oasis, sipping on cocktails in an infinity pool a top a luxury boutique hotel or swim in a XXL-size pool by the Mediterranean. It’s high time to take a fun dip and cool off! Find my three pool choices HERE
