How safe is Israel?
Kafr Yasif
It’s not that safe in Israel overall, we have a high crime rate among Arab. We are not safe either because of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. There is racism everywhere and I don’t want to even begin talking about the wars.

This is a safe place. It's called Kibbutz and it's like a little village where everyone knows everyone, there is a fence surrounding the place with a gate. People are nice, there is a big community and everyone is welcome

Overall great city to live in, great beaches, lots of caffes and stores. Theres an amzing big park, and lots of smaller once, the public transport is not super reliable but still very acessible, train station and buses. Lots of outside gyms and a couple of new shoping centers. Small veriaty of hotels tho and probably no hostels at all. Very close to another city Ashdod, Ashdod is bigger and has lots more activities, shoping centers and hotels.

I live there so I know how to manage and I feel safe, but it’s important to stay aware while walking in the dark. A lot of homeless people in the streets, but they are harmless and you don’t need to be scared. The city never sleeps, so there is no creepy feeling in the streets.

Most Tel Aviv is very safe for women, you can walk alone at night with no problem. I work nightshifts, so before i had a car i used to walk back home. Everything is lit up, and the crime level is very low. This being said about central and northern parts of the city. South Tel Aviv, especially Tahana Merkazit is not safe in the last years due to illegal immigrants, so its better to avoid this area during night hours.

I travelled alone to the Dead Sea destination on a pre-booked transfer, that brought me and other travellers to the hotels. My hotel was ‘Oasis Spa Club Dead Sea Hotel -18 plus’, i think it’s the best place to stay there in this budget category. Very modern and stylish. I recommend for total relax and cute pics ☺️ The dead sea beaches are near, all sunbeds are free of charge. This recreation area of the country is popular with elder people, and mostly women, so this is the safest place to travel alone. Every grandma will admire you there 😀
