When planning a vacation abroad, most of us first check prices, weather, and attractions – but it’s equally important to consider: how safe the destination really is for tourists.

And where is Israel ranked?
Israel is ranked in a medium position in international indices of personal safety for tourists.

Nevertheless, tourists who have visited the country overwhelmingly report a high sense of security, especially in cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem, in tourist areas and hotels. The streets are well-lit, there is policing, and many residents are very eager to assist foreigners. Do you also feel this way in Israel?
