In today's episode, we show you our days in Tel-Aviv, a cool city that we unfortunately didn’t get to see as much of as we’d hoped. It was all due to one tiny hiccup…

🇬🇧❤👍🇮🇱
As an Israeli, I am so happy that you had an empowering and fascinating experience in Israel and Palestine. The conflict is indeed complex, and I hope that one day our peoples will live side by side and share this amazing land.
Can completely recommend peace. No more news of bombings, kneecappings, car explosions, security everywhere, political prisoners etc.etc in my country Ireland 🇮🇪 .. I hope and pray it will be resolved.
Really "complex" .. They want Israel destroyed .. and Israel don't agree to this.

hope they come back 1 day. happy to they are enjoyed our country
Where is Palestine?
Often times at the dead sea, dehydration can lead to nausea and stomach issues. That could also have factored in.
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
I definitely think he got dehydrated.
Tel Aviv is my absolute favorite city in the world. Love it here and hope to make it my permanent home one day (hopefully i get rich enough)
The shekel is a pretty solid currency and Israel has a strong economy. The reason everything is extremely expensive is because Tel Aviv is currently the most expensive city on the planet according to Forbes and many other indexes. The cost of living in Tel Aviv is currently the highest in the world. I dont recall ever getting a decent cup of latte or americano for under 14 NIS or 4.25 USD
For reference its about 3.3 NIS to 1 USD
You guys are great.
I visited Israel, for the first time, this past April.
I spent 11 days of my vacation and I agree with your assessment about some of the prices, especially when it comes to accommodations and culinary in general.
Pricey, indeed.
Regardless of how pricey certain things can be in Israel, I loved every minute of my time over there.
😎
It's so pricey, for us Israelis too. It's unbearable right now, we are very upset with the rise in prices. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your time her though.
As an Israeli-Canadian your last few videos have been really lovely to watch. Glad you've enjoyed your trip (minus the food poisoning -- sorry!) and that you had lots to explore as a vegan. Tel Aviv is always a treat for vegans. Thank you as well for coming to *listen* about the conflict and focus on learning and sharing first hand experiences. As foreigners, that is the absolute best thing you can do. Looking forward to your next adventure!

Just an FYI - Jewish food is a mix between Eastern Europe (Ashkenazi Jews) like you are familiar with, and Middle Eastern cuisines (as there are many Jews that immigrated from North Africa, Iraq, Iran Turkey, etc).
What you see on American TV shows usually represent Ashkenazi Jewish culture because most Jews in the US are Ashkenazi. While in Israel more than 50% of Jews are Mizrahi.
And everyone agrees the Ashkenazi food is dog food compared to the Mizrahi food.
@@bob-wo3ir Well,I love both.If it is tasty,it is tasty ! 😁
@@bob-wo3ir Then don't ever eat a pastrami sandwich with a knish, or brisket with potato kugel, chicken soup, or gribenes. Ashkenazi Food can be awesome!!
Happy birhdays guys 💗
For us Scandinavians, Tel Aviv is like the 6th Capitol. It`s very homelike but with a sun & beach. Love it!
Danish beach, Swedish herring, and Norwegian prices🤣 But with some Mediterranean heat brought back from summer vacay😌
@@OskarandDan I was really surpriced when I was there the first time in 1991 that the prices was "over the top". Been there 4 times after that and it`s still Norwigian.....
I don`t get it? I can buy spices here in Gothenburg, Sweden that is from Israel, to the price of 0.90 cents € per bag (50g)
@@Latexhandske everything is taxed really high
we have alot of things we need to pay for
most notably our huge military budget
@@liljackass6998 Yes, I have noticed that, but what I don`t get my head around; how can the people that live in Israel and particuarly Tel Aviv afford to eat?
Last time, November 2019, my Shekel that I had in bills, was just gone!
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
Glad you guys enjoyed our lovely country!
Actually the Shekel is one of the strongest currencies in the world! Israeli economy is strong and so is the shekel. You should check out its history and find out :)
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
The shekel is literally too strong for its own good rn lmao. It’s insane.
So fun to see you guys here, you're super welcome here. Keep enjoying life and inspiring your viewers
thank you for continuously posting amazing content!! you both are very talented
Thank you so so much🙏❤️

Israel is the best destination in the region! You can be who you are without any worry!
Unless you are Palestinian
Unless you’re the original inhabit of Palestine, An Arab Palestinian.
Too bad they stole it from the Palestinians.
@@JH-mo7xm Jews lived there long before so-called Palestinians aka Arabs.
@@stevie6621 they were not European Jews, they were Arab Jews. And they co-existed peacefully with the Palestinians for hundreds of years. It's only when white supremacist was imported into Palestine that things became bad.
Thank for this video 🙂
Love from Israel 🇮🇱
Great video as always. Loved it too. Thank you. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thanks for the beautiful pictures from Tel Aviv... I was in the restaurant in Jaffa too - delicious!
🙌🥰
Happy Birthday to Oskar and Dan!!! More travels to come!!!

Another fab video! You guys are just the best, your honesty is so refreshing 🥰
Aaw thank you Jenna!!🥰
Hahaha! When you were going to say old.. I held my breath! I was like.. "Don't say it! Don't say it!"
😁🤣
Tel Aviv looks really charming and enjoyable! Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing this very interesting adventure
Are you here in London?
Have fun
Take care 😷😷
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Videos have gotten very delayed unfortunately, this was all in May😅
@@OskarandDan 2 months😱
it would be so fun to bump into you just like that🤭
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
Terrific video. Even though Oskar had a bad tummy, glad you both could eat your way thru the city and Jaffa as well! Five Stars!!!
Bravo, very interesting. Happy to see you are better.
Beautiful beach, I'd give it a try even in May!
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
I enjoyed the video very much! plz come back anytime to Israel there are so many more places ya haven't seen!
OSKAR&DAN NEVER EVER DISSAPOINT WITH THEIR VIDOES LOG, HEARTFELT THANK YOU..jihn xoxoxo

Israel is indeed obscenely expensive. Shabbat is observed only by religious Israelis. The reason you see hotels with Shabbat elevators is because the hotel owners don't want to miss out on the religious population in Israel. Secular Israelis don't need Shabbat elevators.
Thanks for explaining!
@@OskarandDan yeah, anyone who's at the beach, using electronics, using a vehicle, shopping, and many other things during shabbat does not observe shabbat...
@@OskarandDanYou're welcome!
It’s so nice seeing my country from your point of view. I’m only bummed I missed you!
Happy Birthday Oskar and Dan!
Thank you for taking me on your adventures
Awesome ! And Happy Birthdays !!
Love love tel aviv love israel
Next year you should go to Eilat very very very fun city in Israel
@@scottsimon1 When you're right, you're right
The sign at 5:37 says "#not_pride_month" and it was a campaign about pride and allyship towards the LGBTQ+ community not being limited to pride month
Lovely video of my city. Glad you guys liked it 😍😍
I also visited Sweden and loved it. Especially Gamla Stan old town in Stockholm. Of course also the northern Swedish Lapland as well.
I would also add Florentine neighborhood, upper part of Rothschild boulevard and Hayarkon park.
Water is cold until mid June, but then it gets warm and really fun to bathe at night as well.
YES it's ridiculously expensive also for us 😬
I very much appreciate your enthusiasm and sense of humor as you explore this wonderful country. Hope you'll come back again in the future to take advantage of the many exciting offerings Israel has for its visitors.
Awesome vlog you guys im actually a sabbath observation based out of nyc. I spent two years in Jerusalem studying Hebrew studies now im back in nyc and working. Basically as a sabbath observant we are not allowed to do work use electronics or drive cars we pray eat meals pray again rest Hebrew studies and social and play games it just becomes ruteen for us observants. I find it relaxing.
Wow, has this placed changed since I went (35 years ago!). Of course it would have! Great to now see it again via both of you. Great video 😀
Glad you got to revisit through the video!
The saffron story😂😂😂
🥴😂
A little late but Happy Birthday Oskar & Dan!! 🎉🎂🍺 lol keep the videos coming! 👍
I will be at Israel soon so thank you so much for all the advice that’s are very helpful
hahaha the "don't say old" part.
🤣
Hey guyz. I am at the pool watching ur video. I am always excited to watch ur content. Hopefully one day I will visit Israel. Thanks for sharing. I love hiking too. Enjoy love ya guyz. 🤣😂🤣🥰😛😛😛
That was, no doubt, verrry special paprika! How great that some people take salads to an art form and lead their children to become vegan! Awesome video, as always. Very happy you’re both healthy again that you both enjoyed a fantastic visit to Tel Aviv in the end.
I couldn't help but laugh when you mentioned all the sun protection at the beach in Tel Aviv and in the Dead Sea, as well as the helmets for all the scooters and motor bikes. Speaking as one myself, what else would you expect from a country full of Jewish mothers?
Reminded me of my Jewish mother obsessive about sunblock.
So happy you enjoyed tlv ❤️
Yes, Tel Aviv, such a Great City! 🥰

Just love how your birthdays are just one day apart and that you are both Cancer signs!! 🦀🦀
We're Tauruses🤭 Our b days are May 13 and 14
Omg I thought this trip was this July!!! Haha. Well I'm glad you will always spend your birthdays together always. Happy Travelling as always ❤
Great video guys. Love that you got to spend your consecutive birthdays in Israel. Much love from the United States🥰
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
Yes, Mediterranean Berlin is a wonderful comparison. However, the tachana merkasit reminded me more of my home region and the Allenby St. too.
They plan to remove that giant white elephant of a bus station. Hope we live to see it.
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
Happy Birthday to you both 🍾🍾🍾
Haven`t seen you carrying water bottles with you so you probably got a light heatstroke / Dehydration. Very common among first-timers visiting Israel. ALWAYS take at least 1 ltr of water with you. Stay hydrated, especially around the dead sea.
It ended up being campylobacter!
I very much enjoyed your trip to Israel.
It is hard to visit the whole country in 9 days, even though Israel is tiny, but you maximized your stay there and managed to visit key places and did some very cool activities.
I hope you will come back sometime in the future and visit the northern part of the country. The city of Haifa, the northern "rocky" beaches near Rosh Hanikra, lake Kinneret - better known as the Sea of Galilee and the most beautiful part of Israel in my opinion - the Golan Heights - picturesque nature with lots of history.
Enjoy your next country 😊
Happy belated birthday to both of you. You are one another's gifts... And a gift to all of us who adore you!
Safran is a persian spice and the most expensive in the whole world :D Such a lovely Video from Tel Aviv. I have been there a lot and always wanna go back. Greeting from a German with persian roots :D And so sorry they sold you paprika xD
Do you mean saffron
Haha, your alter egos! Maybe that's why I love you guys! I'm almost 60, from California (San Diego though), love pilates and yoga, and healthy eating (with a dose of sweets!) Just like you!
You're our spirit animal!😄
Is Tel Aviv how you expected to be? What’s your impressions? Those were the things I was left wondering after watching 🙏🏾
I'm glad the last few days in Israel were wonderful but Oskar, I'm so sorry you had food poisoning! I know how much that can take out of you. Glad you were able to rally and still make it out to walk around and explore! Dan, I'm so sorry about the saffron incident! At least you got a good travel story out of it? lol What you didn't tell us is if you bought some saffron to bring home! Travel safe, friends!
We actually didn't but maybe we should've for old times sake😆
Tel Aviv!!! Yea!!
Israel-- biggest pride parade in world!!
Shabbat!! Even in Tel Aviv!
Israel is a religious country, where they DON'T separate "church and state", so a lot of State run things are closed. Hotels are kosher supervised--so no hot food on Shabbat... 😢
And yes, it has a Berlin vibe...largely bc half of Israel is Ashkenaz! (And the other half are Sephardi!)
Tofutti spread!! Yummy! Created by David Mintz, an Orthodox Jew from New Jersey!!
So glad you enjoyed!! Todah Raba! (Thank you very much in Hebrew!)
Tel aviv looks really clean. Was there no trash or did you just miss it? Thanks for an interesting video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🥰
Come to Kuwait when it's winter season guys. you'll love it here
u saw Ben Gurion Airport? and the duty free? its amazing here in israel
cool video! about what was said on the topic of "shabat", this is not exactly true. almost every hotel is observant, because otherwise they would losse a lot of religous jews who won't come to the hotel (it is called "teudat kashrut" which mean the place complitely fulfills all the judaism rules). but, it is not really an issue in other places. in a secular place like tel - aviv, or pretty much everywhere except of certain places and religous cities, a lot of things are still open in Shabat. also in places like Judda dessert (where the dead sea is) and in the north of the country there are a lot of muslims or druze who would be happy to serve you in Shabbat.
Nice to see all those places I visited during Eurovision week of 2019! Charles Gore Park and the cultural centre. (Location of the Orange Carpet Ceremony)
ua-cam.com/video/YgRYpWShCZY/v-deo.html
Did you go to the Yardenit, Sea of Galilee, Mount of Beatitudes?
I miss Tel Aviv so much, I've spent 6 months in Israel!
hope you had the best time here in israel !!!
Tel Aviv-Yafo is a great place! What was your favorite city in Israel?
Beautiful city
Oscar and Dan, if you ever visited Atlanta, I'm happy to host you both 😊
We were just there in April and that egg tofu sandwich at Anastasia is awesome - and we miss the soy yogurt from AM/PM - so yummy! Happy Birthday!
Aaah yay😍🌱 Thank you!
Did you guys go to the Bahai Temple? It's in Haifa. The grounds are beautiful. It is only 1 hour from Tel Aviv.
Anastasia is my favoriteeee
Happy birthday 🎉 next time u r in Israel check out the North. U went to the most tourist places so prices were high accordingly 😏 lots of beautiful much less touristy and very beautiful
Lol- I remember turning 25 thinking it was old, I’m now 36 and still makes loads of time for travelling, only difference is now I can afford nicer hotels 😅
I loved Anastasia and of course Tel Aviv!!
Tel Aviv is the most expensive city in the world!
If you go south or north you'll fins food for half a price :)
"half a price" lol one can only wish
Happy earthday many more
How was your experience driving there? I am going next week and want to rent a car, but I am a little apprehensive. Tnx in advance.
14:08 I WAS DEADDDD 😂😂😂😂
All this hummus makes me hungry
First to watch this newest video, I think is pride month right?
💙💙💙
Vegan food -- woooo!
PS: how was the hummus???
Honestly, didn't live up to our expectations😂 That's why we didn't say anything lol
@@OskarandDan whaaat really haha? It looked so good 😋and I heard really good things about it. Oh well maybe smth went wrong that day 😅
@@OskarandDan Haha I knew it!
How do you find Tel Aviv compared to dubai and New York ?
Different in pretty much every way possible ;)
@@OskarandDan thanks I’m a Singaporean who lived in dubai for a year and visited Tel Aviv 4 times and deciding between Saudi Arabia or New York City next :). Hope you guys are feeling better and keep up these amazing videos ❤️
Hope you visit the Philippines soon......❤️
Cool
And I am awesome Adam give you drop like
2 nice guys in Israel!
Welcome to my country Israel! 🇮🇱
Yeah you have a nice country I also like the name of your country PALESTINE
Israel is amaizing !
Sorry about oskar
This is not related to better up in the US is it. If it is then no thanks I may take a look. Well done for looking at acountry with such a storied history and a lot of turbulence, hopefully soon this can come to an end.
Noooo you went to the wrong hummus restaurant, they have 2 restaurants and this is not the famous one. It probably still was good tho 🥴
He said he was a bit disappointed by it...
As an Israeli, I really don't like Tel Aviv!
This city is full of traffic jams, one of the most expensive cities in the world, and everything is a mess there
omg my partner and I also have consecutive birthdays!
Someone once told us that couples with consecutive birthdays stay together for life😉
Travel to Iran. It will be fun!
You guys are quite funny
Nothing says food poisoning more than having sushi:lll
Dan had the sushi - Oskar was already sick at that point!
❤
15:00 yes traditional Ashkenazi Jewish food, not to confuse with for example Sephardic Jewish food, which is basically Arab
funny thing my grand mother have lived in Israel for 82 years and never got food poisoning so thats rare
