Airports in Israel

Israel’s main airport for international travellers is Ben Gurion Airport, which is located 19km south-east of Tel Aviv city centre and 60km north-west of Jerusalem, so is convenient for both major tourist destinations. Flights to Israel also land at the country’s other main airport, Ovda Airport, which sits 60km north of the town of Eilat and is close to the border with Jordan.

Transportation from the Airports

There is a well-connected train network which will take you from the airport to Tel Aviv city centre in 20 minutes, which costs 15NIS, or if you’re staying in Jerusalem, the fare is 22.5NIS and the journey time is 1 hour 35 minutes. Car hire is available at the airport, and the journey into the centre of Tel Aviv takes about 15 minutes. The journey time to Jerusalem is 51 minutes.

Weather in Israel

The weather in Israel varies according to location. As Tel Aviv is on the coast, it experiences mild autumn and spring months, making it a good time to visit. Temperatures around this time tend to remain around 17˚C, whereas in summer they rise to 27-30˚C or higher, and you need to factor in the humidity too – it can become very clammy around June and July. In Jerusalem, humidity is less of a problem than it is on the coast, so if you’re visiting Israel in summer, Jerusalem might be the cooler option. In winter, temperatures drop to 6˚C with occasional snowfall.

Highlights of Israel

There are many fascinating sights and places to visit in Israel, including the Western Wall in Jerusalem and the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tel Aviv. Jerusalem is one of the holy cities, and it is filled with heritage of historical and archaeological importance, such as The Dome of the Rock, The Mount of Olives and the garden of Gethsemane. Tel Aviv, with its thriving nightlife, is known as the ‘city that never sleeps’, and also includes noted nature spots such as Hayarkon Park and beautiful beaches along the coast. Haifa, a city in the north of Israel, is known for the Bahá'í World Centre, another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
