The currency used in Israel is the Israeli New Shekel (ILS). For travelers, using cards is generally convenient and widely accepted, especially in cities and tourist areas, but carrying some cash is advisable for small purchases or in more remote locations.
In Jerusalem, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old City and markets. Scams involving unofficial tour guides or overpriced taxis are common, so it’s advisable to use licensed services. Security checks at entrances to religious and historic sites can lead to delays, but these are standard for safety. Travelers should also be aware of occasional political tensions, avoiding protests or demonstrations for their safety.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
