Is Israel safe for solo female travelers?

Israel is generally safe for solo female travelers. It is a progressive country with respectful locals and a good public transportation system. However, safety can slightly fluctuate depending on the political situation. Israel has strict security measures that can sometimes be intimidating, particularly at borders and airports, but these measures are in place for everyone’s safety. Exercise common sense and situational awareness just as you would in any other country. Consider travel in groups or tours if you are unsure or uncomfortable.

Israel, Solo travel

I was lucky enough to live in Israel for a year in the city of Eilat. I worked there in a hotel, and it was the best experience of my life. I met so many people from so many different countries and cultures. I left with a full heart, and I hope to return someday. For those planning a trip, I highly recommend it.

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 😀

Jerusalem, Solo travel

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.

Tel-Aviv District

Pretty safe we are on the middle of a war so if anything acts up, there are sirens …other than that it is a pretty safe city all and all I would say it’s ok there are specific area I wouldn’t hang out at night alone or at all you do need to know and recognize whether it’s a safe place in area or not..

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.
