In this section, you will find relevant information about the Holy Land to assist you in planning your trip. The climate in the Holy land is reasonably predictable and seasonal. Summers can get hot especially in the months of July and August and quite chilly in the winter, particularly in the northern hills. Snow occasionally falls on the hills and Mount Hermon in the north turns into a ski resort in the winter.
Rain falls only during the winter, but is often more sunny than cloudy.
Jerusalem summers although hot in the daytime, are fairly cool at night requiring a sweater. Most stores and hotels also accept US dollars as well as other foreign currencies. Cash and traveler's checks are always recommended. Credit cards are also a good exchange media, and more often than expected, personal checks may be accepted. Israeli money can be exchanged at Banks or Money Changers .
