The wedding will be held in Caesarea, which is a 45-minute drive from Tel Aviv.

One of the best part about the Middle East is the predictability of the weather. Every day in May will be sunny with a low of 70F (21C) to a high of 90F (32C). The days are hot while the temperature cools down in the mornings and evenings. In other words, great beach weather, so feel free to leave your raincoats at home.

Many countries and airlines require providing a negative COVID PCR test before boarding flights, however the rules are different for each country. We recommend looking into what your destination country and/or airline requires you to do, at least 48 hours in advance of your flight, in order to leave enough time to meet the necessary requirements. If you need to get a PCR test before departing, here is a link to book an appointment in Israel that's specifically for international travelers and has many options: https://check2fly.co.il/en/ Another great option for testing is https://aidg.co.il/en/ - they have many locations in Israel and even a drive-through on the fast lane, 15 minutes from Ben Gurion airport.
