Travel on Saturday
Public transport of course closes until Saturday evening. The slight exception is for buses heading north from Eilat (eg to Jerusalem), which set off from around 3-4 pm to allow for them to reach their destinations. I stayed on a Kibutz just north of Eilat and found that buses at this time were very crowded, so get a ticket and get on early if you want a seat or have to get back at a particular time.

Passports and Stamps
If you're coming to Israel and thinking about visiting its Arab neighbors countries after this trip you better ask in the passport control not to stamp your passport !!! A stamp of entering Israel WILL BE A PROBLEM for you if you're going to visit other Arab countris except for Egypt Jordan Turkey and Morocco.

Road Signs
In most main roads all over the country you'll find signs both in Hebrew and English and also in many areas in Arabic. I think that the prolematic roads will be in the cities where most signs are in Hebrew only ... That is if you rent a car of cours other wise you should be okay.

What's a "Sherut"?
A "sherut" is like a multiple passenger taxi service. They run on fixed rates and go in between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. They're fairly inexpensive and the only down-side is having to wait until they fill up - as well as dropping off each passenger. If you're not pressed for time, it's a safe and economical way to travel. In fact, I met some very nice people when I took a sherut from the Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem. That was a free bonus!

Train from Tel Aviv to Haifa
If you want to use a train and to get to Haifa from Tel aviv it will take you an hour (more or less) and it should cost you something like 50 nis for both directions.

The best travel in the city is...
The best travel in the city is a bus, when there is no bus you can always take a taxi it is verry chaep. A other kind of transportation is a camel, but it is not comfortable.......... a travel organisation whit a bus
