Traveling to Israel is 100% safe, but it often depends on the current situation in the region. Here are some points to consider:
The best times to visit are typically spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is mild. Summer can be very hot, especially in southern regions.
The official currency is the Israeli New Shekel (ILS). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's a good idea to have some cash for smaller vendors.
The official language is Hebrew. Arabic is the second most commonly spoken language in Israel, after Hebrew. It is spoken primarily by the Arab population, which makes up about 20% of the country's population. Arabic is used in many aspects of daily life for Arab citizens of Israel, including education, media, and government. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants.
Routine vaccinations are recommended, and travelers should consult with a healthcare provider for advice on any additional vaccinations, especially if planning to visit rural areas.
Dress codes can vary. In urban areas, casual clothing is acceptable, but it’s respectful, and sometimes mandatory to wear modest clothing when visiting religious sites. Bring good walking shoes or sneakers. Israelis (especially women) like to be “elegant casual” on evenings in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Tap water is generally safe to drink, but if you have a sensitive stomach, bottled water is widely available. Israeli cuisine is diverse, offering many options for different dietary needs.
Israel uses Type C and Type H electrical outlets with a standard voltage of 230V. Ensure you have the appropriate adapter if your devices use a different plug type.
International roaming may be available, but it can be costly (check with your local network provider). Consider purchasing a local SIM card or an international phone plan to save on costs.
