Precautions for taking religious items into Jordan or other Muslim countries:If you are visiting Jordan after Israel, I do not advise you to bring any Jewish religious items to Jordan. Whether it's a candlestick, Star of David, or even a small Israeli flag, they are often confiscated by Jordanian Customs and asked to be returned to Israel and handed over (Jordanian Customs refuse to accept them). Crossing borders can be a headache, especially on the King Hussein Bridge where you have to take a bus from one border crossing to another.
half
When you travel to Israel, there are so many delicious dishes! One of my favorites is halva! They have so many flavors in your local market that you may have to try more than one! Israeli halva is made from sesame seeds and you won't find a better taste anywhere else.
Bagels from Jerusalem
Another popular effort is All Bread! What they call a "bagel" is a long loaf of sesame bread, and it's delicious! Dates and other dried fruits are popular, as are fruits and juices in abundance at local markets in places like Jerusalem.
Honing
Honey is one of the things you must buy in Israel when you are in a land flowing with milk and honey. Produced on local farms and in the kibbutz, it tastes great on toasted bagels. Due to regulations regarding liquids on the plane, make sure you have them in your checked baggage when you leave Israel.
za'atar spice
Israeli spices Zaatar (or Za'atar) are made from sumac, oregano, toasted sesame seeds, thyme and salt. It is often mixed with olive oil and baked on bread. It's hard to miss and you'll find it in breakfast buffets, markets, and foods of all kinds. You can buy it in any market and take it home from Israel. It's becoming more and more common to find this spice in the home, but I've never found anything far removed from what you can find in the Middle East.
facts
