Israel is Safe

Israel is no doubt located in the middle of many current political conflict areas. If you add the non-stop media coverage and the fact that Israel is the center of three of the world’s major religions, people might think it’s not the safest place to visit, why not go to Hawaii?

The truth is that Israel takes its security very serious, with the implementation of low-tech and high-tech security solutions, a state-of-the-art international airport considered the safest in the world and strict security screenings at the borders. You’ll probably feel safer in Israel than walking the streets of New York or Los Angeles!
