Spending Money
We suggest bringing approximately $200 to $300 USD in cash. If you do not have a credit card, you may want to bring a little more. Almost all stores in Israel accept credit cards. Do not rely on ATM machines as they can be difficult to find. Travelers Checks are also difficult to cash so we do not recommend bringing them.

Gratuity
Please bring $65 USD, in addition to your spending money, which will be used as gratuity for your amazing Israeli staff.

Currency Exchange Rates
The currency in Israel is Shekel or New Israel Shekel (NIS).
