The editors of the leisure site Bright Side have taken on a particularly challenging task.

They tried to find out what things tourists could buy in different parts of the world, for the price of a single dollar (about 3.5 shekels today).

Some of the conclusions are quite surprising.

And what can you buy in Israel for that amount?

Truth be told, surprising.

Cheaper than a bus ride: to fly from Israel for one dollar

To the full article

Foot massage in the Philippines

If you feel exhausted after a day of hiking in the city or in nature, all you need is a good foot massage.

And this type of massage can be found for a single dollar on the island of Cebu.

Real Turkish tea in Istanbul

It turns out that the most common hot drink in Turkey is not coffee but Turkish tea.

If you find yourself in Istanbul, you just have to try the traditional tea, which costs even less than a dollar.

On the head or as a souvenir: a hat from Vietnam

The traditional Vietnamese hat, which is conical in shape, called Nón Lá, is made of straw or woven from other materials, and you can wear it during the trip or purchase it as a souvenir and hang it on the wall at home.

Did you forget earplugs?

Surprise in Germany

If you went on a trip to Germany and suddenly discovered that you forgot your ear cleaning sticks at home, you can rest easy.

True, it's hard to find in Western Europe something that costs a dollar or less, but at that price, you can buy 400 (!) Earplugs in one of the markets across the country.

Q-tips.

Malaysia: Pack a little, wash a lot

To save space in a backpack or suitcase, there are those who travel with a minimum of clothing and laundry details during the holiday.

In Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, you can weigh about a pound of clothes for only a dollar.

India: Lots of subway travel

A great and inexpensive way to move between destinations on a trip is to make use of public transportation.

In India, the subway fare starts at 10 rupees (about 13 cents), so do the calculation yourself how many hours you can spend in traffic at a ridiculous price.

Refuel in Venezuela

Venezuela boasts that its fuel prices are the lowest in the world: 20 cents per liter.

That is, for the price of one dollar, you can refill five gallons of fuel, and get going.

Karaoke entertainment in South Korea

In South Korea, karaoke nights are crazy, and many tourists flock to this thing and also experience the musical pastime.

Across the country, many clubs await you where there are coin-operated karaoke machines.

For one dollar you can fly on two songs.

Coffee in Portugal

The affair between Portugal and coffee began in the 18th century, and has continued unabated ever since.

Today you will not be able to travel in the big cities without encountering countless cafes.

Do not give up - it's delicious and it's cheap.

The best ice cream in the world in Croatia

Some people swear that Croatia has the most delicious ice cream in the world, which means you must try it when you visit the country, whether in summer or cold winter.

A cup is sold in many ice cream shops for a little less than a dollar.

Spend time at a pool in Singapore

With a temperature that never drops below 26 degrees when hiking in Singapore, breaks in a swimming pool would be a smart thing to do.

Smart, and also cheap.

In many places, the entry price will be only one dollar.

Admittedly not here, but getting into the pools in Singapore costs a dollar.

Four hours parking in Hungary

Especially for tourists, it is difficult to find a free parking space easily, especially in cities.

But in Hungary, you can just walk into one of the public car parks and pay one dollar for four hours of parking.

Switzerland: A large bottle of mineral water

When it comes to cheap destinations, Switzerland is not the first place that comes to mind.

But it turns out that the abundance of water in the country also has an advantage in price.

Here you can give the seller one dollar, buy a bottle of mineral water of a liter and a half, and even get a surplus.

Brazil: The wonders of the personal locker

Sometimes it sucks to hike all day with the backpack on your back, especially in urban areas.

Therefore, it is good to find out that in Brazil, you can rent yourself a personal locker for a whole day at one of the main bus stops, and travel lightly and without worries.

Thailand: Talk on the phone with the house for 16 minutes

Traveling abroad and suddenly feeling a strong longing for friends or family away from home? In Thailand, for one dollar, you can purchase a rechargeable SIM card that will allow you to talk for 16 minutes.

Israel: You will be amazed at what you can buy in dollars

Just before you raise an eyebrow, it turns out that in Israel, too, you can find items that will upgrade your trip in the field, courtesy of "everything for a dollar" -style stores and the like.

For example, if you are on your way with the children to a spring in nature, bring a small water gun (NIS 3.5).

We even found a jump rope that will make the children spend energy during your picnic (3 shekels).

Planning a BBQ near the spring?

Take a package of 100 units of bamboo skewers (3 shekels).

On the way to the trip, be patriots and put a small Israeli flag over the car window (NIS 3).

If you are in the business of going wild and breaking the boundaries of the single dollar, you are generally arranged: for example, if the children are bored in the field, bring a small wooden domino game (5 shekels).

And if you forgot your hat at home, try wearing a simple colored bandana (5 shekels) on your head.

A reasonable snack on the trip will come in the form of a "hot dish" (3 units for 11 shekels), and if you end the day camping, stock up on disposable sponge earplugs (4 shekels per couple), so as not to hear the snoring of the guys from the tent next door.
