Coming soon to Israel - the H&M Tsunami!
2010 is, of course, the year that H&M take over Israel. The women of Israel await with oh-so-baited-breath the opening of H&M’s first stores in Israel (in Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Mall, the Malcha Mall in Jerusalem and Haifa’s Grand Canyon), scheduled for March. Guys, you have been warned…

Zara gets festive. With a little help from its Jerusalem customers…
We’d like to think Jerusalem is THE holy city. A sacred point for three of the main religions of the world, Jerusalem stands out in its devout holiness for Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Despite no one religion being in the majority and the problems that there have always existed between the three, we’d all like to believe [...]
Jerusalem from above
So we’ve all seen the standard tourist shots of Jerusalem; the Old City, the Western Wall or even Ben Yehuda promenade, oh yeh, most of us are probably very familiar with the regular tourist-type shots. And if you’ve been to any of these sites, you’ve probably got a collection of shots sitting on your hard [...]
Our guide to Jerusalem cafes and bars with Wireless Internet
Following on from our guide to the cafes and bars in Tel Aviv that have wireless Internet, it’s the turn of Jerusalem to show us what she’s got. We know that Jerusalem is one heck of a Holy city, but does it have the Internet access to keep a wired up (without the wires) bevy [...]

The cleanest city in Israel is…Haifa!
Israel certainly has some of the world’s premier tourist attractions; unfortunately not all who visit these sites respect them as they should, leaving the Holy Land with a much dirtier, rubbish-ridden image that often surprises and disappoints many.

Thursday nights in Israel - the best night of the week!
The summer certainly brings out the best in Israel! It’s definitely the hottest time of the year in the Holy Land, but also the busiest and most action-packed. The kids are on holiday from school, tourists are flocking in aplenty and, as a result, some municipalities pull out all the stops to keep their people [...]
Streets of Israel: Ben Yehuda, Jerusalem
Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall in central Jerusalem is one of those Israel destinations that won’t blow you away with its beauty or antiquity, but is one of those tourist attractions where you’ll probably end up window shopping and coffee guzzling. And where you’ll start wondering if anybody speaks Hebrew in the neighbourhood…
