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 in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Best areas in Israel

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

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

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
