When I arrived in Israel 10 days ago, seasoned traveler that I am, I converted some dollars at the airport and I was good to go. Except that airports are the worst places to convert your currency when you arrive in a country. I received a rate of $1 = NIS 3.57, and the exchange agent then took their customary 10% commission.
