Is it safe to travel to Tel Aviv?

During the time that we (my sister and me) visited Tel Aviv, there was a lot of news in the media about the war in the Gaza strip. To be honest, our Mom was not happy that we still went. In this travel blog tips, information and inspirations on safety in Tel Aviv. Nowadays it is not an option to travel to Tel Aviv, the war with Gaza is devastating to see in the news. Hope the war will end soon so the area will be safe again for everybody. Please check the current status at the local embassy or travel app of your country. Beter safe than sorry!

Did we feel unsafe in Tel Aviv?

After a long interrogation at the Airport, to make sure that we went to Tel Aviv with the right intentions, we haven’t felt unsafe for a minute during our whole stay. Our hotel was across the American Embassy and people told us that was the safest place in the city hahaha. But beside that we haven’t noticed any army or police interventions. In the bus to Jerusalem we noticed a lot of young Israelis (boys and girls) with army cloths including guns, but that made us just feel safe instead on unsafe. Helicopters were flying over the beaches each 15 to 30 minutes, but that was basically it.

So check in advance the news and travel apps from the government if you are aloud to travel to Tel Aviv, also check your insurance. 

Tips how to stay safe in Tel Aviv

We haven’t noticed any robberies on the beach as well; people are very protected by their possessions. They ask each other to look after their belongings when they go into the water or play a game.

So if I were you, I will not withhold you from going because of the news and people tell you that it is unsafe. But of course you have to be careful, but that is for any travel destination you go to. I have written a blog on tips how to stay safe in general. If you apply to these rules, you should be fine. Listen to the locals and be alert and use your common sense!
