Be sure to select the 95, the lowest price if you are in an economy car. There is a scam going on where the gas attendant will ask you if you want to check your oil and radiator fluid. He will say that it is low and will hand you a bill. He will advise you that you will be reimbursed at the car rental agency when you return the car.

I was charged a much higher amount when the bill came. When the waiter took my order, I simply pointed to the picture even though there was a price clearly listed in NIS. There could have be some fine prints or a minimum\/range of prices, but I didn&#8217;t add anything additional to my order. When you order something from the restaurant menu, make sure you get verbal confirmation of the price if you don&#8217;t understand Hebrew or Arabic. If the menu is in Hebrew or Arabic, ask for an English menu to avoid being scammed. In the end, I didn&#8217;t want to argue with the waiter because it was simply not worth it since the amount was very small in discrepancy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Tour Guide Scam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Bethlehem, I found many unofficial tour guides lingering around Manger Square. They pester tourists with express entry into the Church of the Nativity even when there are no lines and hound you for a history lesson. I highly recommend that you stick with an official tour guide or group since these scammers are almost always up to no good. When I went to Mount Zion in Jerusalem, there was an unofficial guide standing outside the Tomb of David and asked me if I wanted to see the tomb. I knew it was for free and he made it seem like it costed admission to enter. Just avoid these type of people in all cases and walk away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/03\/IMG_19442.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1152\" alt=\"IMG_1944\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/03\/IMG_19442-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/03\/IMG_19442-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/03\/IMG_19442-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/03\/IMG_1942.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1151\" alt=\"IMG_1942\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/03\/IMG_1942-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/03\/IMG_1942-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/03\/IMG_1942-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Israel American Airlines LAX Flagship Lounge Chicago O&#8217;Hare American Airlines Flagship Lounge American Airlines ORD-LHR 777 Business Class American Airlines Arrivals Lounge at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":1160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[49,50],"tags":[61,62,114,52,51,8],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
