Israel Travel Nanny

Driving in Israel in General has somewhat of a daring nature to it.  Street signs will warn you two seconds before a critical turn on a highway and tailgating is a national pastime.  Although all street signs will have English translations, the Hebrew street names can detract attention as we decide that it is Ulpan time to read Hebrew.  There are throughfares and tunnels, windy roads and hilly roads, drivers that think they are still in an F-16 and lots of cabs.  When driving with children, Israel Travel Nanny can be a real lifesaver.  Even if you have a calming GPS installed in your Israel car rental, kids in the back can turn any pleasant trip into anything but a vacation. Overall driving in Israel is safe but it does take concentration.  When driving anywhere in Israel, take your travel visa and passport along with your Drivers License as this is required.  Northern Israel is divided into two distinct regions, the Galilee and the Golan Heights, stretching from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea on the west to the Jordan River complex and the mountains of the Golan on the east; Lush green mountains sporting walking paths & hiking trails along bubbling brooks.
