Travel tidbits

Selfie station at Ben Gurion Airport: Israel encourages tourists to capture their journey on social media as soon as they land in Israel. To make it easier and more fun, the new “Selfie Station” at Ben Gurion Airport helps make you feel as though you are already sunning on the beach even before gathering up your luggage.

This station is the first of several selfie stations to be placed around Israel, with others planned for Jerusalem, Acre, Eilat and the Dead Sea.
