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

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
