Israel

The beginning of September is considered the “low” season here - the school year begins, parents take their children to school. But there are still traditionally a lot of tourists, because this is the best time for a good rest: it’s warm, but not swelteringly hot. There are occasional short-term rains, but not serious ones - it’s easy to do without an umbrella.

But it is still not recommended to do without protective equipment.
On the Red Sea coast during the day +37°C, at night 25°C, water 25°C.
The Dead Sea is more comfortable: during the day about 33°C, at night 25°C, water 28°C.
The lowest temperature in the Mediterranean is in Tel Aviv and Haifa during the day 28°C, at night 25°C at night, water 28°C.+28°C.

Cultural events of September in Israel:
- Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival;
- the beginning of the season of art exhibitions in Tel Aviv (on the opening day - everything is free).

Fans of eco-tourism should definitely visit Agmon Ha-Hula Park: it is time for bird flights.
But most importantly: in September, Israel celebrates Rosh Hashanah - New Year! And many Jews strive to celebrate the holiday in the Holy Land (there may be no vacancies in hotels). Many secular residents also observe rituals associated with the holiday, so September 6 will be a “cyclist holiday” - public transport does not work.

September 14 - Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement or Day of Judgment. Public transport does not work, planes do not fly, television and radio stations do not broadcast. And not only this! It is forbidden to work, eat, wash, wear cosmetics and... leather shoes.
Keep this in mind when planning your trip!

Beach holidays in Asia: China, Bali

China

The most popular beach holiday is on the island of Hainan, which has received the title of “Chinese Hawaii”. Trips for this purpose to Baidaihe, Dalian and Qingdao are possible.

According to statistics, August-September in Hainan is the rainy season, and the golden season begins in November. Air temperature +30°C, water +29°C.
The region is traditionally considered a “typhoon corridor”, which is why the island is chosen by windsurfers. Both rain and typhoons usually do not spoil the holiday, except that divers’ equipment takes longer to dry.

In September you will be able to see one of China's most favorite holidays - Moon and Harvest Festival. The weekend lasts three days. In 2013, this Mid-Autumn Festival will fall on September 19, when the Moon is considered to be at its brightest and roundest.

The symbol of the holiday is mooncakes (round cakes made from ground lotus seeds and crushed sesame seeds with sweet fillings), houses are decorated with colored animal figures and paper lanterns. Children are allowed to go to bed late: they read poetry in the moonlight, light lanterns in parks and fields. And the lovers ask the gods to unite them.

Excursion holidays

Europe is especially popular during the velvet season. But Europeans themselves prefer to take vacations in September, so they won’t be able to save money. Summer cafes are still open, people happily wear summer clothes - and the arrival of autumn is marked only by the calendar.

The local resorts also have wonderful weather, but the temperatures are different everywhere. For example, in Casablanca during the day it is above +25 degrees. And in the most popular resort of Agadir it is slightly higher and +26 during the day. Marrakech is the hottest resort in Morocco in September. Here the air temperature during the day reaches +33 degrees. And the nights are warm and +27.
As for the water temperature, along the entire coast of the country it is the same +22 degrees. The Atlantic Ocean is cooling faster than the air in Africa. But this water temperature is even better. After all, the air is so hot, and entering the water will cool you down.

Montenegro – last warm month

September is the last warm month in Montenegro, when you can swim in the sea and sunbathe. The average air temperature at the resorts is above +26 degrees, and the water in the Adriatic Sea is +23 degrees. Such indicators also allow you to sunbathe on the beach. And swim in the sea.
On average, almost 100 millimeters of precipitation falls on the coast of Montenegro in September. This means that it starts to rain more often here. But mostly these are still summer showers, which quickly end, leaving behind puddles and a little coolness.
If you choose Montenegro for your holiday in September, then book your holiday in Kotor. Here are the most optimal conditions for an autumn holiday. The sun shines all day and the air warms up to a record +29 degrees. And the water is +26.

Cyprus, Greece, Italy – make your choice

Back in September, you can relax on the beaches of countries such as Cyprus, Greece and Italy. The air in their territory is in no hurry to cool, and sometimes reaches +29 degrees at noon. And the water in the sea is warm like summer - +25 degrees.

Each country has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, in September there will be the same number of tourists in the resorts of Cyprus and Greece as in the summer. The hotels are packed to capacity and there is noise and commotion everywhere. And in Italy there are significantly fewer tourists, but prices here are much higher than in other countries. But the level of comfort and relaxation is also higher than in Greece or Cyprus.
If you chose Italy, then you will have to fly further. While it’s only a 4-hour flight from Moscow to Cyprus. For many, flight time plays a big role. Most tourists do not like to “hang out” in the air and prefer to land quickly in order to enjoy their vacation.
