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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.
