Travel Requirements for Israel

References to Israel in Western media often relate to the ongoing conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian people. Although travel to Israel is safe, there are important government advisories to consider before going, as well as entry requirements to fulfill. Israel’s unique cultural attributes should not be overlooked in the process, either.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Israel is a religious country for both Jews and Muslims. Festivals and religious observances may alter the course of your vacation.
  • One important religious observance that occurs every week is the Sabbath. Almost all Jewish shops are closed on Saturdays. Given the demographic of the country, that means almost everything is closed, unless you travel to a specific Muslim or Christian neighborhood.
