I'm going to Israel for the first time for work - staying in Tel Aviv, and will be near Ra'anana. Any "must see" places while I am there? Only 5 days - and likely only have the evenings to explore. I prefer historic monuments etc.

The best and cheapest way to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem or vice versa, is with the multiple person taxis that run between the two cities. It is convenient since you just pile in and wait for the taxi to fill up to the point where the driver feels he has enough passengers and off you go. Just DO NOT expect to carry a huge backback or any suitcases with you. This is a commuter taxi, not a luggage transportation service!

join the 24 hour gym in dizengoff which is stuffed with gay guys and they have these semi naked little parties i there, its like all twisted for their pleasure but a good gym, go to the bars ad clubs in florentine south of alenby street ad the port for fun and TLV gay parties. do lunch in the amazing cafes ad resterants some nice ones dow bograshov the food is killa, and the salads will ock u sideways, they are beasts. for local specials away from the cosmopilitan try yemen food jarchnon, shakshuka which is north african, iraqi sandwiches. go to the beach bars in the evennings to chill. go up to jaffa for more bars ad resteratants and fetish clubs and arabic flee market and abulafia the best arab food joint. go to the port for fashion festivals and afterparties. tel aviv is icredibly hot it will make you crazy . if possible avoid he summer heat which is humid umbearably. tel aviv is no doubt a possy joint, but if u just want to be superficial and fun, yeahhh its great. imsure there is a serious side but i never found it. russian lesbian raves are also a must. nevet sedic is pretty. and u can walk most places its a walkable size.

Tel Aviv is an amazing friendly place. The beachfront has something similar to Durban's Golden Mile and beaches are stunning. Just don't sit on the chairs as they are not free! Behind the skyscrapers and hotels lies a city with old buildings and market places and crumbling building , but stunning architecture. Tel Aviv is rich in culture - both from a secular and Jewish perspective. Markets are the best place to shop for fresh veggies and bargains. Nite life is cool and safe to walk around . If you enjoy Cape Town's Long Street vibe you'll feel right at home in Tel Aviv. Transport is great - taxis run 24/7 , but the buses close down for Shabat (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). High security in malls, but generally one feels very safe wherever you go. Jewish people are warm, open , loving , peaceful and very hospitable and family - orientated. Contrary to what most people believe, the chances of you being bombed on your visit is prob 1000000000000 to 1 so go enjoy!
