Cuisine in Israel
In Israel, be on the lookout for tasty hummus, a spread made of ground chickpeas and spices.
Many meals are accompanied by dessert, such as puddings and sweets. The puddings are
mainly rice and nut based, while the pastries are generally covered with nuts and sugary
syrups, similar to baklava.
Shopping
There may be scheduled visits to local shops during your adventure. There is no requirement
to make a purchase during these stops, and any purchase made is a direct transaction with
the shop in question, subject to the vendor’s terms of purchase. O.A.T. is not responsible for
purchases you make on your trip or for the shipment of your purchases.
Returns
If you discover an issue with an item, you should contact the vendor directly and expect that
any resolution will take longer than it would in the U.S. We recommend that you keep a copy
of all your receipts, invoices, or contracts, along with the shop’s contact information. Keep in
mind, local practice may vary from U.S. standards, so don’t assume that you have a certain
number of days after the purchase to speak up or that you are guaranteed a refund.
