Over the years, Tel Aviv tourism has undoubtedly reached new heights and become the third most expensive city in the world. However, don’t be startled by the word “expensive.” You can still do many things even when you’re low on budget. Have a look at these 6 unique experiences.

Staying in an autonomous hotel
Some of you might wonder why we call “staying in a hotel” a unique experience. Let’s explain. We all pick a place to stay when we visit somewhere.
But have you ever been to a hotel where there is no staff, no chef, and you can enter the hotel with a secret access code? That’s the beauty of Beta Hotel in Tel Aviv by Loginn Hotels. This 22-unit studio aparthotel is what tourists call “Home, Away from Home.”
You can do everything here that you love doing at home, for example preparing your meals. It’s possible to extend your stay up to a month at Tel Aviv Beta Hotel, unlike other traditional or luxury hotels. You should try it at least once.
Visit one of the saltiest lakes – the Dead Sea
About 1.5 hours away from the White City, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest lakes in Israel, with a percentage of salt by weight is 33%. You can float in it! Apart from the enormous amount of salt, the lake comprises minerals and clay soil, which is excellent for your skin. So, make sure you don’t forget to use the muddy clay on your skin and rinse it off with salty water.
To visit the Dead Sea, rent a car or join a tour group and drive through the desert to the east of Tel Aviv. Once you reach Kalya Beach, you can easily enter the stream. While driving through the desert route, you may find many beautiful spots where you can stop by to eat and click pictures – totally worth the effort. However, you must be quick because the water level goes down quickly.
