Long distance calls
Telephone calls from your hotel to Canada can be very expensive and service charges are high. If you decide to call from your hotel room, always check the cost first, as an additional service charge may apply.
The simplest way to call within Israel is to use a payphone. Prepaid phone cards are available at newspaper kiosks, gas stations and tobacco stores.
Emergency
You can ask for a doctor or a dentist through your hotel. Keep all your receipts.
Airports and many train stations also have medical teams and first aid facilities.
Banking
Most banks are open from 8:30 a.m. until noon Sunday to Friday, and 4–6 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Jewish holiday eves, banks will only be open in the morning. All banks are closed on Shabbat. Most of the large hotels have banks which often offer additional, more convenient hours.
Currency
The currency is the New Israel Shekel (NIS) or shekel for short (pluralized as shkalim in Hebrew or shekels in English)
Getting Around
Taxi
Cabs are plentiful in the city.
Bus
The most effective transportation. Most buses are dark green, but you might see the older red and white buses, too.
Pay the driver as you board. All bus rides are at a fixed price of NIS 6.40. Once you pay the driver, a ticket will come out of the gray calculator next to the driver. You must keep this ticket as proof to the conductor, who often checks.
Your ticket is valid for 75 minutes and can be used to transfer to any intercity bus.
The Jerusalem City Tour (Bus #99), intended for tourists, does a loop of pretty much the whole city and costs NIS 45 adults and NIS 36 children for a one-day pass.
Buses do not run on Shabbat (30 minutes before sunset on Friday until at least 30 minutes after sunset on Saturday), nor on other religious holiday.
Light rail
A light rail line is currently under construction. It will link the northeastern neighborhoods to the southwestern neighbourhoods through the city centre.
On foot
Much of Jerusalem is walkable. The Old City has to be toured on foot, not only because it is more impressive this way, but also because many of the lanes and alleyways are inaccessible to cars.
Sightseeing
Choose from a wide variety of optional excursions and activities to enhance your Air Canada Vacations holiday.
Tipping
In Israel it is customary to tip in restaurants. When the bill does not include service, a 12% tip should be added. In hotels, tip the bellhop or any other service provider. Taxi drivers are generally not tipped.
Water
Tap water is safe to drink. Remember to drink lots of water when you are out walking and on hot days.
Electricity
220 volts, 50 Hertz. Most Israeli sockets are of the three-pronged variety.
Shopping
In Jerusalem, the Old City is a great place to pick up wood ornaments made of wood, seashells, leather and straw, blown glass, and traditional clothing. Jerusalem is also home to the Malkha Mall, the largest in the Middle East with hundreds of Israeli shops, Kosher restaurants and a 12-movie theatre complex.
Most stores are open from Sunday to Thursday between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Stores that close for a break between 2:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon have a sign with their hours posted on the door. In some cities, stores are closed on Tuesday afternoons.
Stores close at midday on Friday and open again on Sunday morning. Stores close in mid-afternoon on the eve of Jewish holidays and remain closed throughout the holiday. Shopping centres that do not cater to the religious population are open on Saturdays and others open on Saturday night or holiday nights to accommodate moviegoers.
Language
The main languages spoken in Jerusalem are Hebrew in West Jerusalem and Arabic in East Jerusalem. Most people throughout the city speak sufficient English for communication. English is widely spoken in tourist areas.
Religion
Jerusalem is home to large numbers of adherents to three of the four Middle Eastern monotheistic faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
