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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Different experience for me. Prices were lower when I went.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
