Climate & Clothing

The weather in Tel-Aviv in July is hot. No rain. Temperatures range from 23°C to 29°C (73°F to 85°F). Casual dress is appropriate for all occasions. Comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, hats, suntan lotion and swimsuits are recommended for tours and outdoors activities.

Entry Visa

Citizens of EU countries and the USA do not need entry visas to Israel. For participants from other countries we suggest you check the website of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs or check with your local Israeli embassy, consulate or travel agent.
Invitation letters will be issued upon request. This invitation is prepared solely for the purpose of visa applications and is not a commitment on the part of the organizers to provide any financial support or confirmation of inclusion in the Scientific Program. Please email your request.

Electricity

The Israeli power supply is single phase 220 volts at 50 Hertz. Most power sockets in Israel have three pin holes, but many of them will work with double-pin European plugs. Visitors who want to use shavers, traveling irons and other small appliances may need both transformers and adaptor plugs.

Currency / Exchange

The currency unit in Israel is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS – “Shekel” in short).  International credit cards are accepted for payment in most hotels, restaurants and shops. Exchange offices and ATM machines are
easily available throughout the city and at  Ben-Gurion International Airport. We recommend that you change some money at the airport  for immediate needs.
