DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Jerusalem Israel and the Palestinian Territories DK Travel 9780241360057 Books Reviews

• I love all of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides as they provide a digest version of where you're planning to travel, so I'd definitely buy them if I was still in the process of choosing. I don't like to miss things I should have known about and this book has already pointed out several things. A common thread among these guides are also what to realistically expect - what areas are historically significant but filled with cheesey souvenir stalls, what the busiest times are, places you can and can't go and for what reasons, type of dress, hours of attractions, food recommendations, website addresses, etc. The reason I like the pictures so much is so that I can flip through while traveling or while referencing/looking for something I thought I read - the images catch your eye so things can be found quickly (there's also an index). They can be little heavy to carry with you, but if you are just brushing up ahead of a trip and/or don't care about the weight, then that's not relevant. I also appreciate that this one specifically combined several places in the region that we're going to (Petra, Jerusalem, the Sinai area) so that I didn't have to buy three separate books on the topics, but it includes all the information I need. Have bought several and will buy again.
• As usual the DK Eyewitness Guide gives you a colorful, easy-to-use travel companion. This one covers Jerusalem in full but does give Tel Aviv a bit of a short shrift. There is a detachable map of Jerusalem included but not one of Tel Aviv. The addition of Petra in Jordan is very helpful as many tourists in Israel make that a stop. As there is so much history in this part of the world, it's worthwhile to get a grasp on it before you visit. This guide does that very well. The illustrations and charts are always first rate. This is both a guide book and a remembrance of your trip.
• This is great if you are traveling to the other areas, but was not specific enough for our focus of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Reviewed before the trip and decided to leave this at home.
• This is a useful and beautifully gathered collection of information on Israel's sacred ancient sites as well as what is taking place in Israel today and what it now looks like. I had hoped for more detailed information on some of the biblical sites, but it is a reasonable introduction to the land and its history for the beginner or those going to Israel for the first time.
• DK travel guides are always my favorite way to plan for a trip, and this one is no exception. Maps and many color photographs make it easy to get excited about the wonderful places we will visit on our trip to Israel and Jordan. The guide has some references to Egypt, so I think an earlier version might have included that country as well. Better editing is required to make it germane to the countries listed.
• This was a fantastic tool we used in our recent trip to Israel. It has everything in it that we needed for getting around and sightseeing. We tried to see as much as possible and this book was used everyday. The pictures are great, the information extremely valuable, and the maps are easy to read and use.
  WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
• First off this is a great book. I am very happy with it. Then what is my problem??? I live in the country...way out in the country... I have an electric gate that delivery folks don't go through...they generally just put my packages over the gate. I have lived here for years and never an issue. Today I received a note from UPS that I had a package that required a signature and ID for pick up. It had been taken to a UPS pick up site in town...wonderful -( Back in the car I go for the half hour trip in. Imagine my surprise when picking up my package. A travel book??? What the heck!!! I can understand signing for an expensive item or an adult only item but a travel book to Jerusalem??? If this becomes a common occurrence the stores in town will start looking much more interesting. Sorry I posted this rant here but makes it VERY difficult to contact them -( But that is a rant for a different time.
• This is particularly nice as it's secular/non-denominational (so many other guides for this area were not). DK ususally has nice guides for those who are visually strong (I personally prefer Michelin guides, but those are all words). Well organized, well written & well pictured. Information and recommendations were good. I'd recommend for a trip.
