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 mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers
Israel vs last year — has it changed?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
