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 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

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

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

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

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