Cultural Tip
Israelis are generally very helpful with directions. Don't be shy about stopping someone on the street - most people will be happy to help, especially with 'סליחה' (slicha - excuse me) to start the conversation. Waze (the navigation app) was originally built in Israel and works great there.
