What do I need to know for a trip to Israel?
Check current travel advisories before booking and again immediately before departure, as security conditions and entry requirements can change quickly.
Pack modest clothing if you plan to visit religious sites, particularly in Jerusalem and other areas where conservative dress is expected.
Bring comfortable walking shoes, as historic areas such as Jerusalem's Old City feature uneven stone streets, stairs, and substantial walking.
The currency is the Israeli New Shekel (ILS), and credit cards are widely accepted, although carrying some local currency is useful for smaller purchases.
If visiting religious sites or traveling during Shabbat, be aware that some businesses, public transportation, and services may close or operate on limited schedules from Friday evening through Saturday evening.

Jerusalem's Old City covers less than half a square mile. The Western Wall holds up the platform the Dome of the Rock stands on, with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre just ten minutes away on foot. Almost nowhere else on Earth does this much religious history occupy this little space.
Though it does get crowded, the best luxury hotels in Israel can open doors at hours the crowds never see. You can walk through the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with no one else inside. The church is built over the presumed site of the crucifixion and the tomb. After hours, you can stand inside the Edicule, the small shrine built over it, and take in the Byzantine mosaics and ancient stone floor all by yourself.
East of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea drops to 1,412 feet below sea level. That's the lowest point of dry land in the world, with a lake so salty and so vast it truly earns its name. The water is ten times saltier than the ocean, which means humans can float effortlessly and no animals can live in it.
The water is dense with magnesium, potassium, and bromide in concentrations the ocean doesn't even come close to. Those minerals built the spa culture along the shore, and a day that started in a fourth-century church tends to end floating in the water itself.
