Travellingto Israel can be an enriching, rewarding experience. If you’re looking for a destination with fascinating culture and history, as well as some delicious and unique dishes, Israel may be the perfect place for you, but with current unrest in the region, it’s good to have a plan before heading to The Holy Land. If you’re considering a vacation there, check out our list of 10 tips for visiting Israel:
Most foreigners have at least a vague understanding of the conflict between Jews and Arabs in Israel. There are distinct factions in the region. Being Israeli is a political identity, though most Israelis are Jewish, which is a religious identity. If you are Jewish, you are automatically granted Israeli citizenship and state benefits.
Palestinians (a political identity) in the region are mostly Arab, a cultural identity. It’s good to do a bit of background research on the differences between these groups before visiting, so your stay is free of uncomfortable exchanges stemming from cultural and political ignorance.
The 26-foot high security wall separating the West Bank from Israel proper is worth a visit. It is an eye-opening symbol of the Israeli military control over the region, and the tensionbetween Jews and Arabs in the region.
