I love Tel Aviv! It's such a shame though that it's so expensive! I just hope that at least the buying power of its citizens is equally high or else it would be devastating for them

[@mjohn5921]

Average salaries in Tel Aviv are around 55k USD/year. + Israelis have free k-12 education, subzidized universities and a developed universal healthcare system. The average tel avivian has an equivalent purchasing power of an average kiwi or italian in their respective local markets. But in nominal terms a much higher income and that's why israelis prefer to spend their holidays in europe. Other than few exceptions, pretty much anywhere in europe and the world for that matter is cheaper.

[@TUBESPECIFIC1]

Rocketing upward inflation is the big catch 22 going on in most places now. I'm really noticing it this Summer in the USA. If too long and too much, then it's truly devasting even for people who thought they were quite well off enough to have food, housing, fun life experiences, and economic security for life while us of more modest means now have thin raped wallets and cash accounts with rising credit card debt. However, we're all being stared down by an unprecedented new world order out of chaos brought on by greed having no upper limit of old empires of sellouts on their way out as new empires rise to the occasion of building a new bloody history of conquest and profiteering. It is a shame indeed.

[@BlueUmbrella5584]

Israel is very expensive. Those who live in Tel Aviv are from the top economic tiers (working in hi tech etc.) due to the increasing outrages housing prices which are the most expensive in the world, especially in terms of the buying power of the average Israeli. These outrages housing prices apply to all of Israel but especially to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the center of Israel. Food, electronics and basically everything you can think of is super expensive and many households can't make ends meet.

[@TUBESPECIFIC1]

@@BlueUmbrella5584 Thanks. I see it wouldn't be mind kind of place, but a tourist could go affordably for a while. I understand quite a few Americans have moved to Israel being Jewish and all who are in the money.

[@Mrdardas99]

It really depends on where exactly do you live and what are your expenses. Tel Aviv is like a different country - the housing prices are insane because everybody wants to live in walking or biking distance to the bustling urban-beach center and the houses there are old and no high-risers were approved there - so you get all those young graduates moving to the city looking to live the single life and living in small decrepit divided apartments with room mates for like 2000$ a month (each person!). meanwhile I live just an hour and a half drive away in Haifa and pay 1000$ as mortgage for a decent sized 3 bedroom apartment (but I got a great deal, prices now are approaching 1500$, but for a much much much nicer place than those places in Tel Aviv, and with no room mates!). Also keep in mind that with universal healthcare I only pay 10$ for a specialist doctor consultation (I can go private and pay 300$, and this is fully paid by my extra private health insurance that covers my family for about 800$ a year). CT and MRI are also 10-20$. I didn't want to wait for a late appointment so paid 1400$ for a quick MRI done privately, and was refunded the entire amount from my extra insurance mentioned above. Also, unless you have a super specific type of disease that the drugs for it are new or not covered - you never have to worry about cost of treatment. There is no "Breaking Bad" type deal here, as Walther would have gotten an automatic 100% income tax break for a year, 100% disability so he gets paid a monthly allowance by social security, had he gotten a cheap teacher's group policy private healthcare insurance that would be a few years worth of salary paid directly, a monthly cap of about 200$ for deductibles in all treatment related expenses etc... But food and gas and cars and toiletries are about twice as expensive as the US, and it's getting harder and harder to afford an apartment even in the cheaper peripheral cities. Just for reference, the average income per person is about 36K$ and the median is 24K$ so you can see there is also a very big income inequality problem.

I live near a beach in Orange County California, and while it's a good neighborhood, you still don't leave anything unsecured at the beach. Too many homeless people moving along the coastal communities and petty theft in general is rather high in many areas of California. Depends on the specific area of course.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@b.m.48933]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Gabe, that is correct. Kikar Kedumim (Hebrew: Square of ancient times) is the main plaza of old Jaffa. The symbol on the left was indeed Berber script (Tifinagh). You forgot, when you were in Morocco, about the Berber Jews. The Berber Jews are the Jewish communities of the Maghreb, in North Africa, who historically spoke Berber languages.

@@CalvinCooke18i am Palestine 🇵🇸 supporter but recognize israel 🇮🇱. It isn’t safe , Israel 🇮🇱 is among top 10 on expensive city from world list . I can’t agree safety , Palestine 🇵🇸 or Terrorists bombing happens ( they west people only hears israel 🇮🇱 airstrikes against innocents syria people and terrorists organizations, they don’t know about terrorists bombing to Israel 🇮🇱 ). If we not considering terrorists in the list , still israel 🇮🇱 will be no safest because Extremists among jews attacks against Palestinians and Christians priests in the holy city of Jerusalem is famous, even Palestine 🆚 israel 🇮🇱 small clashes.

Wow what an incredible city. Those beaches are poping

[@raitisfreimanis]

14:20 That's the Bugrashov Beach area. We stayed at a hotel right next to the beach in the summer of 2019. We had a wonderful time there. Great city. Great beaches.

[@bestirishmusic5375]

Crazy prices there in Tel Aviv. What makes Isreal so expensive and are the other cities there also as shockingly dear. Great video.

[@dee74raz]

Tel Aviv is the only metropolitan city where people can generally find high paid jobs. So people flock there and of course prices go up to meet the demand of a greater population who want to live there. There are also other factors such as Israel surrounded by mostly not so friendly countries and therefore importing stuff is expensive which raises prices. Also hotels have to pay insurances which covers them from wars or missile attacks from not so friendly neighbours.

[@dee74raz]

@Skyjacker Proof is in the pudding which the anti semites seem to fail to provide.

[@rasheednode]

@@dee74raz / Blame it all on the Arabs😁Ever heard a word 'greed"?! "not so friendly neighbours." Israel is an angel, man😁

[@grunistdasneuebraun7606]

well the jews want to make money. i've been there a few years ago. it had been expensive if you compare it to the poor the quality.

[@worldtravelimagesnet]

Looks nice, reminds of Miami Beach, Venice Beach or Southern Spain. But the city itself has of course much more history!

[@banto1]

You missed filming the most famous feature of Tel Aviv - sitting on the beach watching the huge red sun sink into the Med. While the prices for food are high in those areas, geared toward tourists and well-paid hipsters, the main issue driving the TLV rating for priciest city is the cost of housing. Tiny apartments there can go for $1M-$2M, if you can find one. It's definitely NOT a cheap vacation spot, but it is worthwhile and interesting to see while you are in the country touring the historical sites.

[@EsaLena1]

"Kikar Kedumim" means "Kedumim Square." Also, I would go explore away from the beach to get a sense of real life in Tel Aviv. I lived the first year or so on a tiny side street near Arlozorov and Rabin Square and the rest of my time there on the corner of Allenby and a small side street near the shuk.

[@acharjeesupa1]

Growing up in India with so many cultures and ethnicities together, i had an idea that Israeli people are very conservative , it's hard for them to get along with people from other ethnicity... And the video starting with Hare Krishna changed a lot of my perspectives...

[@Bklyngurl85]

Ha! not at all. They like to learn all about other cultures. Especially in Tel Aviv and Haifa. Jerusalem is a little more conservative, but people of all religions, cultures, races and ethnicities come to Jerusalem, so those that live there are used it.

[@Mrdardas99]

It all depends on your definition. Remember that modern Israel is a melting pot for Jews from all over the world who returned (or were banished from) the diaspora. That means there are many people from eastern Europe, northern Africa, the Arab Middle East, the Americas, even a small number of Indians - though there were never many Jewish communities in Asia. There is also a somewhat large community of temporary working migrants from the Philippines. All in all, unless you go to the ultra-orthodox closed communities in Jerusalem or Bnei-Brak - everywhere you go is very diverse. Which is why the food is so good here.

@Ahmad Hijaz y'all Arabs are the real bots. Literally every video of Israel you're spamming "free palestine" like it's going to make a difference. There was a war and you lost, get over it.

[@immortalsoul7172]

​@@SplinterAce It won't change the fact that it is the land of Palestinians. Not the "so called" Israel. Israel Colonized Palestine and is an illegal settlement, I'd like to see you stay quiet when someone goes to you land and "wins" then occupies it.

Amazing Gabriel, just got off your Romania video, which I enjoyed and here we in Tel Aviv, Isreal just by coincidence! Great city, video too!

Prices don't look that bad, there are many places much more costly. The real cost and deal breaker is probably housing (rent/mortgage).

[@forrestaustin7050]

Awesome!

Carmel market has amazing fresh produce, also inexpensive yet yummy food and other stuff. Tuesdays and Fridays has an artistic market with local artists, absolutely fantastic. Not necessarily expensive depending where you go.

Hey man a question for you. Are you using the DJI osmo action still for these video? My shitty gopro 8 broke today. Just like the previous one ls I had lol from gopro. Thinking of buying a osmo action instead.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Hey William, yeah I'm still filming with the Osmo. There's a link in the description. I recommend the older Osmo 1, the newer one looks really complicating to use. The Osmo has been super rock solid for two years now.

[@williamtaudien]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos ok thanks man I'll use your link. Yes somehow it seems like all newer cameras have something weird with them. I don't understand why. The never models of gopros freeze and also dont stay waterproof. And also the colors and brightness are weird on the newer ones.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I agree about the strange colors, that's exactly why I dumped the Gopro and switched to the DJI, I think the color scheme is better. And it never freezes up or overheats. There are actually a bunch of advantages vs. the Gopro in terms of the practical aspects. It starts up and turns off quicker, it doesn't disconnect randomly when charging it. So many glitches in the Gopro that the DJI doesn't have. I still have a Gopro which I only use for underwater shots, to keep my DJI from being affected by the saltwater.

[@marklucas8795]

Interesting video , look forward to more from Israel !

[@MilaTheTravelJunkie]

Love it! You brought me memories! Indeed Tel Aviv is super expensive, I went end of September and still the hotels were expensive, I stayed first in bat yam, then after i returned from Jerusalem i stayed near Fisherman's. If you still there, try to have breakfast in Carmel Market, best shashuka you can find and more affordable prices. Jerusalem is a little bit less pricey, but avoid staying in the shabbat, specially if you need transportation, it's super expensive. I remember I went to Jordan the weekend to avoid it.
