Best Time to Visit Israel
The best time to visit Israel for luxury travel is during the shoulder seasons of Spring (April to May) and Autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, perfect for both coastal lounging in Tel Aviv and desert exploration. Avoid the peak of summer (July and August) when humidity and temperatures can be extreme, and be mindful of Jewish holidays like Passover and Sukkot, when many businesses close and prices rise.
Currency & Money
The official currency is the Israeli New Shekel (ILS). While credit cards are universally accepted at luxury hotels, high-end restaurants, and boutiques, it is helpful to carry a small amount of cash for tips or market purchases. Tipping is customary in Israel; for excellent service in restaurants, 12-15% is the standard, while private drivers and guides should be tipped around 10% of the daily rate.
Getting Around Israel
For a luxury experience, private chauffeur services are the preferred method for intercity travel, especially between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. For those looking for efficiency, the new high-speed rail link between the two cities offers a clean, reliable, and scenic alternative. Within cities, luxury hotels can arrange private cars or high-end taxis. Domestic flights are available from Tel Aviv to Eilat, but for this 6-day central route, private road transport is the most comfortable option.
