We are going to Israel for my daughter's BM next July.
2 teens, 2 parents, 4 grandparents.
All but the kids have been there before, but the grandparents never really toured it properly.
The preliminary plan is to spend 4 nts in Jerusalem, 4 nts in the Caeasaria or Kinneret area, 2 nts on Dead Sea.
We need lodging for 8 people, and transportation/guides.
I was considering renting a large apartment in Jerusalem, and a villa in the north....as we have local family/friends, we could have the BM party on the villa.
Dead Sea might be a bit more difficult, and we'll have to use hotels.
So, questions...
1. Lodging - any recommendations past the standard AirBnB/VRBO offerings?
2. Guides/touring - any recommendations on a guide/company that can transport 8-person group?
3. Villas - if we plan a party there, it should be a very large (6 br+) villa...there are some offerings on AirBnB in Caesaria area, but is there another place?
4. Hotels - what's bookable with points? I have no points in any Israeli brands, are there chains that partner with major CC issuers?
5. And just general recommendations about the trip would be appreciated.
Thanks!
