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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
