Hotels and Eateries
NET gets special group rates in the land's hotels and kibbutz guest houses. We shall offer you the best possibilities in accordance with your needs and budget. We also own two hotels in Jerusalem: the Ambassador & Ritz Hotels.
Virtually all our tour programs include pre-paid breakfasts (usually a big buffet) and dinners. (Drinks cost extra.) A group may elect to go full-board, including pre-paid lunches as well. There is an advantage in half-board: one is not committed to a specific restaurant for lunch at a specific place and time. The group has greater flexibility, therefore, in adjusting its itinerary to weather conditions. Half-board groups generally use self-service restaurants; here the main course with trimmings may cost $8.00 - $10.00.
An exception is lunch on the Sea of Galilee, where some group members may wish to eat "St. Peter's Fish" (tilapia). The restaurant, in this case, will have waiter service, and the full meal will have a fixed price: $16 - $18. This usually includes soup, ten or fifteen local salads (as much as you can eat), the fish itself with French fries, fruit for dessert and tea or coffee. One may substitute beef or chicken for fish. Lighter eaters may opt to leave out the main course, and the price will then be about half. (These prices do not include soft drinks or service.) For a picture of the fish meal, see Tabgha .
Please note: The hotels usually post signs, asking that one not take food from the breakfast room. In addition, one should not bring food from outside into an Israeli restaurant: this may endanger the establishment's certification as kosher.
