When I arrived to the Israeli border on Sunday it was already quite late, around 8pm. Jerusalem and Amman are not far away from each other but I didn't know that the border crossing was in the north of the country so when I arrived there I found out that I was more than 100 km far away from Jerusalem. A customs officer interrogated me thoroughly at the Israeli border and I felt almost like a criminal. Finally I was allowed to enter Israel and I found a taxi driver who took me to Tiberias where I caught the last bus to Jerusalem and it was around 10:30pm when I arrived there.
I had two hosts in Jerusalem from couchsurfing, both of them were called Asaf and lived next to the Aza street which is close to the city center. The first one was studying medicine and the second one was working. Both of them were busy so they couldn't show me around therefore I visited the city by myself. The first one hosted me one night and the second one three nights.
Obviously I didn't have much time to visit Israel because I had to return to Egypt to catch my flight there. I stayed 3 days in Israel and I visited Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Bethlehem. The first day I went to the Old City and I was initially walking around by myself. I didn't even have a map but it didn't bother me, I was walking around the city and taking pictures.

After crossing the bazaar I met a Jewish guy who approached me and offered to show me the city. I agreed and we visited together the Western Wall and then we went to the Mount of Olives. His name was Chaim and he was 38. He lived in the Jewish quarter street. The place he lived in looked like a shop from outside but when I entered I found out it was just one room around 4m2 big. There was only enough space for a bed and a cupboard, but there was no toilet or shower, just a sink. We decided to travel to Tel Aviv together the following day but there was a big storm in the evening and it got much colder during the night. While it was 31°C during my first day in Israel the following day it was only 18°C.
When we took a bus to Tel Aviv there was one Orthodox Jewish man sitting close to us. I was talking to Chaim and I mentioned several times during our conversation that I wasn't Jewish. When the Orthodox Jewish man was getting off the bus, he gave a paper to my friend where he wrote that he was sorry, he could understand that my friend was lonely, but he should talk to me or spend time with me because I wasn't Jewish and we weren't going to get married. I was partly amused and partly annoyed because I found it quite insolent, but Chaim told me that I mustn't say in Israel that I am not Jewish.
When we arrived to the sea in Tel Aviv I went to swim even though it was windy and relatively cold.

I didn't have a swimsuit with me but the beach was quite empty so I could swim in my pants. Then we went to the city and Chaim told me that he often meets girls in Jerusalem and makes them visit some places but he expects something in return. He said that he either has sex with them or they give him money. I told him that he couldn't expect anything like that from me so he left to Jerusalem alone and I stayed in Tel Aviv longer, I was watching a sunset there and visited bazaar and then I went to the bus station to take a bus to Jerusalem.
