When should I arrive in Israel?

How can I get to Dance Village (Gaaton)?

You can take the train from the airport (Ben-Gurion Airport) to the city of Nahariya and we will pick you up at the train station.

Do I need any kind of insurance?
|
|
All our students are required to have a medical insurance that is valid for Israel.
You must fill in the appropriate place in the registration form about your insurance. If you do not have a medical insurance for Israel, you can obtain it on arrival at our office.
We also suggest, although this is not obligatory, that when you buy your airline ticket, also purchase insurance in case of lost luggage or any occurrence during the flight. It is just a few dollars more. Good travel insurance will also cover you if for some reason you need to leave the country and want a refund.
