Fares remain high primarily due to reduced seat capacity—many international airlines are operating fewer daily frequencies than in previous years. With high demand from the diaspora and business travelers competing for fewer seats, economy tickets from hubs like Frankfurt or Paris often exceed €600-800. Additionally, insurance premiums for airlines operating in the region have increased, a cost that is passed directly to passengers. To find value, you need to book 3-5 months in advance or watch for our AI-detected drops on specific carriers.

Yes, tap water is safe to drink and high quality throughout Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Most of it comes from desalinated Mediterranean seawater. The taste might be slightly different than what you’re used to in the Alps or UK due to mineral content, but it is perfectly hygienic. Bring a reusable bottle to save money, as bottled water in tourist areas is pricey (10-15 ILS / €2.50-4.00).

Modesty is strictly enforced at religious sites like the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Temple Mount. Both men and women must cover their shoulders and knees. Men should wear long trousers; women should wear skirts below the knee or long loose trousers and avoid low-cut tops. Security guards will deny entry if you are dressed in shorts or tank tops. Carry a large lightweight scarf in your bag to drape over yourself if needed.

You need New Israeli Shekels (ILS). Euros and Dollars are generally not accepted in shops, restaurants, or public transport, although some tour guides or souvenir shops in Jerusalem’s Old City might take them at a poor exchange rate. Credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are accepted almost everywhere, even for small purchases like coffee or kiosks. Withdraw cash from bank ATMs (like Leumi or Hapoalim) rather than private standalone ATMs to avoid high fees.

Yes, tipping is culturally mandatory in sit-down restaurants and bars. The standard is 10-15%, with 12% being the sweet spot for good service. Many card machines now have a tip option, or you can leave cash on the table. Waiters rely on tips for their salary. You do not need to tip taxi drivers (though rounding up is polite) or street food vendors.

Buy an eSIM before you travel or a local SIM upon arrival. European “Roam Like at Home” rules do not apply in Israel, and roaming charges can be astronomical (€10+ per MB). Local providers like Pelephone, Partner, or Hot Mobile offer tourist plans with 50GB+ data for around 50-80 ILS (€12-20). It is cheaper to buy these at city kiosks rather than at the airport arrivals hall, where prices are inflated.

Absolutely, it’s a unique natural wonder located at the lowest point on Earth. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Tel Aviv. Public buses (Egged line 421) run infrequently, so a rental car or an organized day tour (approx €70-100) is much more efficient. Combine it with a sunrise hike at Masada fortress nearby for the full experience. Be careful not to shave or have open cuts before swimming—the salt water stings intensely.

We use AI to monitor pricing buckets across major carriers like El Al, Lufthansa, and Virgin Atlantic 24/7. When an airline silently drops prices to fill empty seats or respond to a competitor’s sale, our system detects the anomaly instantly. For example, we recently found direct flights from London to Tel Aviv for €280 when the standard rate was €650. Our team manually verifies every deal to ensure the airline is reputable and the layovers are reasonable before alerting our free newsletter subscribers.

Superdeals are verified flight offers with 40-80% savings compared to typical market rates. These aren’t “mistake fares” likely to be cancelled, but legitimate flash sales or unadvertised price drops. For Israel routes, this might look like Business Class for €900 instead of €2,200. You book directly with the airline using the links we provide, ensuring full consumer protection. These deals are time-sensitive and usually expire within 3-5 days, so members need to act fast when they receive an alert.
