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 a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

This matches my experience. Israel is great value for money.

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

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

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