Tips to driver, guide, hotel and restaurant staff
​
Price PER PERSON, based on TWO people SHARING a double occupancy room is ESTIMATED to be $3000. If a third person (e.g., a child) is sharing a room with 2 adults on a roll-away bed, then the price for that third individual alone will be discounted to $2200. In Israel, no hotel allows 4 people to share a single room. If you are traveling alone, and cannot (or will not) share a room, then the price for that individual alone would be $4000.
