Shalom!

You've landed. Welcome to Israel!

We apologize for not being able to greet you at the airport, but you'll find that with the simple instructions below, you'll get by easily:  

At the Airport it would be wise of you:

1. to change some money at the airport and obtain some New Israeli Shekels (Israel currency. Simply called Shekels). You'll find better exchange rates inside the cities so don't change too much.

2. to Visit the tourist information desk and obtain some maps and promotional stuff.  You can get the useful "Time-Out Israel" magazine in the luggage-claim hall for free.

After you've finished your business at the airport, take a bus\train\taxi to the hospital (all dorms are situated inside or near the hospital). Please see the following list to know how to get to the hospital, and then check who to contact in the hospital here.  Some people have accommodation in different hospitals then their department. PLEASE GO FIRST TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE YOUR DORMS ARE LOCATED, and only later go to the hospital where your department is located.

Public transportation stops at ~ 16:00 on Friday and resumes at ~ 19:00 on Saturday. Taxis are available at all times.

Please select the City your hospital is in for further instructions
