      Great video. Love the scenes of Akko. By the way the Arabs in Akko and throughout all of Israel are not Palestinian (unlike the Palestinian Arabs who live in the Palestinian territories) they are Israeli Muslim Arabs. There are 2 million Israeli Arabs that are equal citizens serving in the Israeli parliament , on the Israeli Supreme Court, as University presidents, media personalities, hospital presidents, business leaders, etc.

    Props to you for taking a chance, not only visiting Ramallah but getting a ride back. It may have seemed sketch, and your description made it clear there were a lot of unknowns, complicated by a language barrier, but you've traveled enough to trust your instincts, and they didn't let you down.

    Oh, and please visit the Golan Hights, so much to see and explore there! especially Nimrod fortress which is located so perfectly and has the best views and ruins ever! There are things to see everywhere in the Golan and it is totally off the beaten path. I think you may find it interesting to visit a druze village too, like "Majdal Shams" or "Mas'ade" and enjoy some local foods as well as a different culture.

    You keep getting fleeced by these Arab taxis. Every ride you paid at least 2 -3 times more than you should. The taxi from Ramallah to Jerusalem should've been 34 shekels. You could've gotten a bus or train to Akko from there. If you used the meter to go to Tel Aviv it would've been 234 shekels (12 shekels + 3.72 shekels for every min. after or 18 shekels by bus - they run til 3;30 on Fri.

    The Arabs can be very friendly but the business people (taxis, shops, hotels) will try always try to rip you off. They don't care if you love palestine, they see all tourists as walking $$. You can google how much a taxi should be. Google maps will give you travel options. If the hotel owner was honest, he would've suggested getting a bus or train from Jerusalem to Akko instead of helping his friend.

    • @skontheroad
      @skontheroad 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Absolutely! And they will rip you off with or without a smile! 😅 but, as in anywhere else in the ME, no matter how much he quotes, you MUST bargain with him. It's almost rude not to (depending who you are--for you it doesn't matter, they will just gladl take your money!).
      Start with 50% of what he said, TOPS, and go in small increments from there. Rule in the ME is- as long as both parties walk away unhappy, the price was right! 😅
      But, as you likely saw when wanting to go to/thru Kalandia Refugee Camp, there is always "a friend" happy to take his share too!
      Israel is one of the few, if not only, places in Israel where the shortest distance between 2 points is NOT a straight line! They invented Waze and even have something you can tick off saying "avoid Arab Villages" (because despite public opinion, the "Apartheid" is again the Jews! Not the Arab!).

    You should have just taken the same bus you took to get to Ramallah back to Damascus gate in Jerusalem. Short tram ride to Jerusalem train station and from there a train straight to Akko. You might need to transfer once or twice within a train station depending on the time of day. Your driver was probably an Arab Israeli. They make up about 22% of the country's population.

  • @MaxPower-11
    @MaxPower-11 ปีที่แล้ว

    From Ramallah to Akko the best, fastest and cheapest connection would have probably been a taxi to the Jerusalem train station and from there a train to Tel Aviv (trains every half an hour, travel time about half an hour). In Tel Aviv switch to a train to Akko (same station as the train from Jerusalem, 2-3 trains per hour, travel time about 1.5 hours). Israel Railways’ online timetable shows 2h20min total travel time from Jerusalem to Akko including the transfer. Total cost for the train trip is NIS48 (about $13).

    The "new" central bus station in Tel Aviv should be avoided if possible and the whole area around it too. It's a rundown and rough area. There's a much nicer station - Arlozorov Terminal that's located more to the north and is in a better area of Tel Aviv. Although you need to check because some buses only leave from the crazy bus station you were in and not from Arlozorov. But Arlozorov terminal is located right next to Savidor train station. So it's convenient if you want to take a train. For example you could have taken a train to Akko instead of a bus. It's more convenient and probably faster.

    Gabe, there's a train station in Acre (Akko) that will take you to Tel-Aviv. The Israeli train service is fantastic, by the way. It's cheap, efficient, well-organized, has a/c, and is frequent. Totally worth it. The only minus is that it does not operate between Friday evening and Saturday evening.

    Acco is a city of both Jews and Arab Muslims. You can see that many signs are in Arabic, even though it is an Israeli city. The Old Town is mostly Arabic, as you can tell from the people there.

    Since you travel by yourself, how do you film yourself? Where is the camera man?

    In the 80's there were some Palestinians who exploded with a belt of bombs around their stomachs. At the moment I don't know if things are peaceful now. In that region everything looks weird. One thing is for sure traveling around we will always meet weird guys, and I will always feel butterflies in my stomach. Unfortunately.

      There won't be any peace at all until israel stops treating Palestinians like third class citizens.

    I would imagine instead of spending money at the stores they'd be stressing out, not ideal for loose pockets. What a moron who came up with that idea.

    Israeli-Jews usually do not know Arabic. Arab-Israelis know Hebrew, and some Palestinians also know Hebrew. The strange and dubious central station has many interesting things, for example there is a floor with lots of street paintings. The neighborhood is neve sha'anan, large parts of it is undergoing renewal, and today many young people also live there in some parts, like in the very cool neighborhood next to it, Florentin

    Great video as always. I feel for your right shoulder. There is a lot of stress on it. The camera and the packs you carry, such a load. Please take care.❤
