IsraelThings to Know

Discover Israel's diverse languages, family appeal, and welcoming vibe.

What language is spoken in Israel?

The official languages of Israel are Hebrew, with Arabic also widely spoken by the Arab population.

Is English spoken throughout Israel?

English is widely spoken throughout the country. However, don't assume every resident you meet will be able to speak English.

Is Israel a family friendly destination?

Rich with culture and history, Israel can be a wonderful learning experience for the whole family. Whether it be exploring the Old City of Jerusalem or floating in the Dead Sea, there is something for everyone. ‘A fast paced country with a laid back attitude’ says it all.

How welcoming is Israel to LGBTQ travellers?

Israel in general, and Tel Aviv specifically, is a welcoming LGBTQ travel destination. Tel Aviv is known internationally for being one of the most welcoming cities for gay tourists. However, like most other Middle East nations, conservative beliefs still exist throughout much of Israel. All visitors are asked to understand cultural sensitivities at sites of antiquity, as well as during day-to-day touring.
