Is Israel expensive to visit?
Israel is one of the pricier destinations in the region — broadly comparable to Western Europe. Accommodation and eating out are the biggest cost drivers. Public transport, street food (falafel/hummus) and free or low-cost sites (beaches, Western Wall, Bahá'í Gardens guided tour) help stretch the budget.
What currency is used in Israel?
The Israeli new shekel (₪, ILS). Cards are accepted almost everywhere; keep some cash for markets and small vendors. The calculator shows estimates in both US dollars and shekels at an approximate rate.
