Israel was amazing. In every single way. I have never in my life felt safer and statistics back me up. I would be willing to argue that Israel is the safest place in the world for solo women. Although I went with a group of people, many times I would walk at night either alone or with 1-3 other women around my age (18-20) and sometimes even intoxicated and we never once felt in danger from Tel Aviv to Tiberius. Abraham hostels are a super high quality line of hostels and the one in Tel Aviv is the best I’ve stayed at. It has tours, live music, clean rooms/bathrooms and so incredibly safe and inclusive. I cannot recommend Israel enough and I am counting the seconds until I go back. It is so diverse, beautiful and breathtaking.
Posted: April 4, 2024I feel very safe in Israel. The people here are very friendly. It is a very beautiful country filled with history. It is an awesome and wonderful experience to be in such a beautiful country, a country that has been so close to my heart since I was a child.
Posted: December 8, 2023Experienced: November, 2023I traveled alone through Israel and Palestine in January of this year. The only threat may be the current state of conflict, otherwise, it is an extremely safe and pleasant country. The climate varies depending on the city - Tel Aviv is very open, Jerusalem is diverse and somewhat more conservative, Haifa is student-oriented, and Tiberias is strongly Jewish and has a festive atmosphere. It's really worth visiting Israel.
Posted: September 23, 2023I was alone in January of this year for 10 days. I visited Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Bethlehem. I got to all these places by public transport, without any problems. I plan to return and see more, because I am still hungry for new experiences. It's an incredibly interesting country and in my opinion, safe. It's wonderful to be in Jerusalem during Shabbat and to visit Yad Vashem, it's an unforgettable experience.
Posted: September 20, 2023I just got back last week and had wonderful experiences. I loved travelling there alone as a woman, it was much easier than I anticipated both in Israel and in the Palestinian territories. It's really beautiful there. So much to see.
Posted: July 17, 2023I lived and traveled there alone for about a year. So many things to see and do. There are many cities and plenty of beautiful nature to discover. It's worth noting that it has such vast territory, from desert in the south to lush greenery in the north. Israel is very safe for solo travelers.
Posted: May 31, 2023Israel was one of the best trips I've ever done. There are so many soldiers everywhere (unfortunately), so I never felt unsafe. I recommend Jerusalem and Tel Aviv (spend a few days in each) and, of course, the West Bank (I visited Bethlehem, Jericho, Hebron, Ramallah and the baptism site). The food is delicious. There's so much to see, from ancient Roman remnants, through Christian sights, Palestinian culture, Holocaust Museum and so on. It's really a gem. And the color of the sea is amazing.
Posted: May 25, 2023I was alone in Israel for two weeks and I loved it. I walked around the Jerusalem markets and the Old Town, and also went on trips to the Dead Sea and Galilee. I never felt uncomfortable or scared.
Posted: May 22, 2023Israel is an incredible country, full of history and monuments. I both used couch-surfing and stayed in a hostel in Tel Aviv, visited Jaffa and Jerusalem, took a bus to Eilat and stayed there for a few days to swim in the Red Sea and snorkel with dolphins.
Posted: April 15, 2023I recently went there on my first solo trip and had a great time. I did it partly because I have family there, so it was less scary to go alone, but it still is a wonderful place to visit. I stayed at a great hostel with many events, so it was also easy to meet people. I really enjoyed it.
