- Passport

A valid passport is required for entry (with a validity of at least six months beyond the end of your travel period).

Non-U.S. citizens are required to have passports, visas, and other necessary documents for entry into their destination country.

It's important to avoid packing your passport or travel documents in your luggage. To determine whether you need to apply for a visa before your trip, please refer to this website.

- Travel Insurance

- Attend the Tour Israel 2025 orientation meeting.

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience for all participants, attendance at the orientation meeting for Tour 2025 is mandatory. This meeting will provide you with important information about the trip, including safety guidelines, itinerary details, and cultural norms of the destination.

Additionally, you will be required to sign up for the trip guidelines, which outlines the expectations and responsibilities of all participants. By attending the orientation meeting and signing up for the guidelines, you will help to ensure a successful and unforgettable journey.

Israel is a country that is generally considered safe for tourists, but ensuring your safety is our top priority. In addition to implementing various measures to ensure our participants' safety, we also strongly encourage travelers to take the necessary precautions they would take when visiting any unfamiliar city or country.

Prior to your trip, we recommend checking with your cell phone carrier to explore any international options that they offer as most providers provide such plans. Additionally, if your phone is unlocked, you may also opt to purchase a prepaid SIM card at a reasonable price.

If you plan to bring electronics to Israel, it's important to note that most hotels in the country use 220 volts AC 50 Hz power.

To operate 120 volts, 60 Hz appliances such as hair dryers or electric razors, you'll need to bring along converters and adapters. Some smaller devices are dual-voltage and can automatically adjust for use in other countries, but if your appliance has a manual switch, you'll need to change it back and forth before plugging it in.

For dual voltage electronics, simply bring an adapter to plug in the charger. Before you travel, check the manual or power cord for each device to determine if it will work with 220 voltage without a converter. Keep in mind that U.S. electronics that are not dual-voltage should never be used without a converter in countries that use 220 voltage.

We recommend bringing US Dollars, as this currencies can be easily exchanged for the Israeli Shekel. You will find currency exchange locations throughout each city in Israel, including at most hotels.

Additionally, you can obtain Shekels prior to your departure. Please be aware that currency exchange rates can vary from place to place, and some locations may charge commission.

Foreign debit/credit cards are widely accepted in most shops and restaurants. However, it is advisable to exchange some money for Israeli Shekels, as there are a few establishments that may only accept cash, particularly those outside of tourist areas or in the markets. It's important to have Shekels on hand for these situations.
