"This Israeli city is notorious for its high cost of living," begins an extensive article published on the British Daily Mail website.
This is certainly not new to you, certainly after Tel Aviv was "chosen" as the most expensive city in the world in 2021 by The Economist magazine.
However, later in the article, it is written that despite this, it can still be experienced for less than 100 pounds (about NIS 400) per night. "Tel Aviv is probably the most expensive city in the world, but don't let that stop you from experiencing the vibrant city This is a magnet for lovers of food, history and culture, alongside a long and sandy coastline."
So what do the British think of a vacation in Tel Aviv, and how do you travel there without breaking the bank? Here are their tips.
"A magnet for lovers of food, history and culture, next to a long and sandy coastline."

"A hotel with an atmosphere of a sitcom from the 70s"
As for accommodation, the article recommends the Central Hotel, "a two-star hotel with 12 rooms and the atmosphere of a sitcom from the 70s."
It was also noted that the hotel is close to Dizengoff Square - "home of Tel Aviv's fire and water fountain" (referring, of course, to the Jacob Agam fountain).
Other hotels recommended by the reporter, Angela Epstein, are WOM Allenby and The O Pod Hotel.
On the latter it is written that it is in Neve Tzedek: "One of the oldest neighborhoods, with captivating houses, gardens, winding alleys and beautifully restored buildings."
In addition, the reporter recommends the Airbnb apartment in Florentine - "the hipster neighborhood of South Tel Aviv, where old warehouses have been turned into bars, cafes and places that specialize in music".

Between the "Independence Trail" and the Carmel Market
In the "what to see and what to do" category, the first recommendation is to wander along Tel Aviv's boardwalk, "which pulsates both during the day and at night, and where people of all ages engage in physical activity."
It is also written that "the boardwalk stretches for about 2.5 km along the Mediterranean coast, and has crowds of pedestrians, cyclists and skateboarders, while the music emanates from the bars.
On the beach you will find shaded fitness facilities and volleyball nets." In addition, the reporter recommends going on a bicycle trip through the "Tel
-Lopen" project. A warm recommendation goes to the controlled walking route "The Independence Trail", which links historical landmarks, including the city's first kiosk. "Learn about The establishment of the State of Israel", recommends Epstein.

In addition, British tourists are invited to visit the Carmel Market, "the oldest and largest open market in Tel Aviv", as well as Jaffa, with its alleys, its port, galleries, restaurants and the flea market."
To conclude the "what to do" section, there is a recommendation to visit the Ben Gurion House Museum, "Where you can see his library, his workrooms and his family rooms."

"After the Sabih you will not be able to eat until the end of the day"
It is impossible to talk about Tel Aviv without talking about food, and in the British article some of the undisputed food institutions of the city are presented.
For example Hummus Abu Hassan Ali Caravan in Jaffa.
"In Israel, hummus is much more than a dip for the middle class. It is a star. And this is one of the most famous hummus restaurants in the country," writes Epstein, and recommends, among other things, "Falafel Ratzon" on King George Street, the Sudoch chain and "Sabih Tschernihovsky" .
"The sabih is a basic ingredient in the Israeli-Iraqi cuisine. This classic will cost you 9 pounds - but after that you won't be able to continue eating until the end of the day."
