Ein Bokek, Solo travel
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 😀

I felt unease most of the time. While at salt lake, outside Jerusalem of course, perverts were taking pictures of naked women there. While back at the city, local markets kept flirting with me(I was below 18 yrs old), even when I said i had a partner. Also heard some racist things thrown around so it was just odd. Nature is stunning tho.

I took my mom to Israel in June and we just spent some time with my friends there. We felt safe and people are amazing there. It’s my forth times to go to Ein Gedi and my mom’s first time. There are too many places worthy to explore especially some hidden gems brooks where only locals know. Don’t miss out the warm hummus, fresh fruits, and Arabic coffee in Damascus gate (First shop at entrance of the right ally)

I personally feel much safer there compared to my hometown in Russia, and that applies to the marjority of towns in Israel I visited. I can have a walk late in the evening and even at night, and still not have to worry about anything. This may not be the case for everyone.

Israel is overall very safe. The people are very kind. Still, Israel is in the middle east and does not have peace with most of the countries around it. Sometimes we have missiles fired to the country or terror attacks inside. The Israelis are very aware of these and know how to act and where to go when these things happen. So I will sum up - the things that women traveler are usually afraid of are not that common in Israel (SA, Rape etc.). But we have different kind of problems.

Tel Aviv is pretty safe to walk around during the day and night. Of course, there are areas I wouldn't recommend walking around at night. But buses and trains are safe at all hours including at night.

About me
24 years old, speak English, Russian, Hebrew and a bit of Italian, love books, TV shows, board games and social dancing ❤️ I had a great time being hosted by wonderful women during my travels, so although I do not have much to offer, I would love to give back. Feel free to invite me out for a drink or a coffee or just to stroll around, or I will gladly show you my favorite places (like the best gelato in town) Also I basically help foreigners find themselves in here for a living, so I might be a good person to talk to about of the complexities of this crazy place and share stories!
