Has anyone been to Israel recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
