  Travel Tips

Arrange all prices at all times before of getting any product or service or you will seriously regret it. bargain is a costume for everything and even if you don't want to you will have to, for taxis, meals, and shopping. Specially in the markets

For long distance travel the train is a perfect way of getting around, just book the upper classes if you don't want to share your seat. A good idea between more than 4 people is to share a cab between cities and even for long distances, this is very common in the Arab world. Just consider that you might have to pay accommodation and meals for the driver too.

  Food

To make a good Hummus you will need:

Chickpeas 150gr. or 1 can
Tehina (sesame paste) 1 teacup or less
Lemon 1
Water (from the can or the soaked beans) 1 teacup or less
Olive Oil 4 soupspoons
Garlic 1 clutch
Salt and Pepper.

If using dried Chickpeas leave in water overnight.

Blend ingredients altogether, start by all except the water and the Tehina. add them softly until finding the flavor and consistency. The result should be a homogenous paste.
