Please note that there are no kosher restaurants available in the tour destination. We therefore recommend that you bring your own kosher meal for lunch. This ensures a better overall experience, as meals ordered on your behalf may not align with your preferences, may not be freshly served, and often require coordination with restaurants that open later than the tour schedule. Additionally, arranging external orders can result in extra costs, including the meal cost plus pick-up and delivery fees. For these reasons, bringing your own kosher meal is the most reliable and convenient option.
