Does anyone know the cost of tickets to the canada center in metullah.
Also places to eat or stay right there.
Don't recall exact;y but keep in mind if you're sleeping in Metulah your host might be able to get you a discount, also they have student discounts.

Went to La Pavee last week, it's a glorified felafel shop, we walked out after they said they don't have half the things on the menu.
