Also, don’t bother showing up way in advance at Ben Gurion, they will just put you into the non-urgent queue when you get there.

On a not-super-related note, not only was the queue at Canadian immigration yesterday 90 minutes long, but also the immigration official was *highly* suspicious that I was actually here to attend a wedding. He even wanted to know (a) what I bought as a wedding gift; and (b) how much it was worth. (I was thinking “not $10,000 if that’s where you’re headed with this, buddy.” At least at the Israeli border, I “got” why they were so sensitive. Canada? Not so much.

Bottom line – immigration is a hassle everywhere in the world, methinks.

But everything I'd read online about getting into Israel with either Lebanon or Syrian stamps led me to believe they would definitely give me a hard time and take me into a separate room for intense questioning about why I'd been to Syria. That being said, all the stories I read seemed to be from young men so maybe being a woman helped.

What I’ve heard is that it’s not the Israeli immigration people who take issue with stamps from certain countries, but rather, it’s a few other countries in the middle east that have a problem with letting you in if your passport has an Israeli stamp in it.
