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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Did you use local sites or find girls at the hotel?

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
