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 good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
