1. We are happy to make the housing arrangements for invited participants.  Please let us know, as soon as you can, the exact dates of your arrival and departure from Tel Aviv.  We will assume you are travelling alone and will book a single room, unless you tell us otherwise.

2. For your information, accommodation for the participants of the " Workshop Topological Analysis of Manifolds and Submanifolds" (Tel Aviv, August 5 - 10, 2001) will be arranged at the "Grand Beach Hotel, Tel Aviv", 250 Hayarkon Street, Tel Aviv 63113, Tel. 972-3-5433333; Fax. 972-3-5466589 "Grand Beach" hotel offers a very convenient location: overlooking the Mediterranean, opposite Independence Park and only a short walk from Dizengoff Street, the business district, and the city’s entertainment venues, with restaurants, cinemas, and a colorful marina.

3. The easiest way to get to "Grand Beach" Hotel from the Ben Gurion airport is by taxi. The trip may cost 70 - 95 shekels (depending on the time of day). The exchange rate is approximately 4 shekels for 1 dollar. Normally, the driver does not turn on the meter; the price for any trip on the airport - Tel Aviv route is fixed and depends only on the hour.

4. Tel Aviv University is situated in the northern part of Tel Aviv (in Ramat Aviv). There is a bus connection (bus 25 from Ibn Gvirol street),  which passes not far from the Hotel and reaches Tel Aviv University. The bus travels around the campus and has several stops. The Mathematics Department is in the Schreiber Building; the closest stop is at the "Diaspora Museum Gate".
