Solo Female Travel in Israel

Couple travel experience

In general Israel felt safe and people were super nice and helpful.I've had so much luck to be there before the new situation... even tho day before I came there were rockets attack.Still it felt safe.I've stayed in Tel Aviv wich reminded me kinda experience in Barcelona.happy people playing on the beach... food was really good but in general expensive.after Tel Aviv I've visited Jerusalem and it was magic for me.Western wall is good to visit during weekend at night where you can find only locals.entire area is way nicer than during the day.walking around closed stores felt like in video game =) labyrinth. I also had a chance to go to dead sea.Wich I recommend to be there in the afternoon and go back by the evenings, experience is nice but there is not much to do besides laying in the water. The way from Jerusalem to dead sea is also amazing. I've spend just 4 days in Israel, if I had a chance I would love to come back and visit Eilat as well

Group travel experience

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.

Group travel experience

I 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.

Solo travel experience

I 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.

Solo travel experience

I 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.

Solo travel experience

I 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.

Solo travel experience

I 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.

Solo travel experience

Israel 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.

Solo travel experience

I 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.

Solo travel experience

Israel 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.

Israel is a pretty safe county I would say, obviously there are many not so nice stories I heard from friends but I can tell you that if you don't go to the wrong times you would be fine, and although there are some catcalling here and there things like murder rape and kidnap happens in very few places and I don't know about them. There are rape stories but it usually isn't someone random on the street. What I would keep an eye on is terror, obviously right now there is a very high alert all through the country so it's less scary but you don't want to piss off the wrong people, but also don't think that the druzik and arabic villages in Israel aren't safe, most of them are and most of the people are nice and kind, just, I would keep an eye open while passing by, especially at night.
