Planning your Israel trip
Best time to go: April, May, October and November are popular when security conditions allow. Summers are very hot, while winter can bring heavy rain and cold weather in the mountains.
- Holy and historic sitesThe country has major pilgrimage sites linked to Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i Faith.
- MasadaThe historic landscape includes a Roman siege camp on a neighbouring mountain.
- National parks and nature reservesAbout 75 parks and reserves offer scenery and history. Many provide maps and explanations in English.
- Eilat's Red Sea coastThe reefs offer accessible snorkelling and diving. The Marine Park around Moses Rock is a highlight.
Scams to watch for in Israel
- Taxi meter refusal and inflated fixed faresThe driver leaves the meter off, claims it is broken, or pushes a fixed fare that benefits the driver. You may then face a demand for too much money at the end. Some drivers become aggressive during payment disputes.
- Taxi detours to increase the fareThe driver takes a longer route than needed while the meter runs. A working meter alone does not prevent this.
- Theft of unattended beach belongingsSomeone takes belongings left on the beach while their owner swims or moves away. The risk of beach theft is high.
