Are there any special customs associated with traveling?

A special "Prayer for Travelers" (Tefilat HaDerech) is said upon reaching the outskirts of the city from which you are traveling. In this prayer, we ask G-d to protect us and enable us to arrive at our destination in safety. If one will be away for more than one day, the prayer is said - without using G-d's name - each subsequent day after the morning prayers. For a more extensive guide to Jewish customs when travelling visit chabad.org.
