On cost, Israel is one of the pricier places to visit: everyday prices sit at about 94 on a global index where the United States is 100. See how Israel compares to 179 countries.

Pack a plug adapter: US devices use Type A/B/NEMA 14-30/NEMA 14-50, but Israel uses Type C/H. Voltage differs too (230/400 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 277/480 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Israel.
