Many travelers, when abroad, indulge in the pleasure of shopping. Some are drawn to national souvenirs, while others are more interested in significant and practical purchases. Shopping in Netanya caters to both.
Before planning your shopping in Netanya, remember that you need to finish all your purchases before Shabbat begins. On Friday after 3:00 PM, almost all shops close until Sunday.
Also, keep in mind that non-kosher products are not sold in supermarkets.
Furthermore, in large stores, prices are fixed, but in small shops, and especially at markets, bargaining is customary.
Don't forget to explore the major shopping and entertainment centers in the city. The Ha-Sharon mall, located on the main shopping street, Herzl Street, is particularly popular. And bargain hunters will appreciate Big Poleg, where many discount stores are often found before major holidays like Passover (March-April) and Sukkot (September-October).
Tourists with good financial means can purchase jewelry with diamonds in Netanya, with their authenticity confirmed by certificates. By the way, diamonds, as well as suede and leather goods, are exempt from taxes and customs duties.
For those not ready for such expensive purchases but looking to buy something valuable in Netanya, you can acquire souvenirs made of Hebron glass, colorful figurative candles, as well as Israeli medicinal cosmetics and spices.
