Hey all you Middle Eastern PHers!

I have been offered a contract to work in Tel Aviv for around a year. Now my initial thoughts were to jump on it, I'm sure to regret it later on if I don't, but I thought I'd seek advice from the endless well of knowledge that is PH first.

Has/does anyone live in Israel/Tel Aviv?

What is it like - obviously I'm aware of the history of the region, but from what I have read Tel Aviv is supposed to be a pretty safe city.

Obviously if I move I will spend most of my time in Tel Aviv, but while there it would be rude not to visit all the historical sights, and float in the Dead Sea. How safe is the rest of Israel for travelling around, and can I buy/rent a car with my UK licence?

I have thousands of questions - hope this has kept it pretty brief - but would be genuinely grateful if anyone has any experience they'd like to share thumbup

Cheers for the replies and advice - I'm leaving in 3 weeks and can't wait!

Will I be able to get into Egypt with my passport? As I really fancy a quick trip to the Pyramids while I'm there, would be rude not to!
