Israel runs on 230 volt power, has excellent mobile and wifi coverage, and you will find English widely spoken. The everyday practicalities are simple to manage.

What plugs and voltage are used?

The power is 230 volts at 50 hertz. Sockets take the Type H plug, and the round Type C plug fits as well. Bring a universal travel adapter. Travelers from countries with 110 volt power should check that their devices handle 230 volts, as most modern chargers do.

Will you have internet?

Yes. Mobile coverage is strong across the country, and most hotels offer wifi. If you want to stay connected as you travel, a local SIM card or an eSIM is inexpensive and easy, or you can use your home provider's roaming.

What languages are spoken?

Hebrew and Arabic are the main languages, but English is very widely spoken, and signs at the airport and the main sites are usually in English too. Your AJET guide speaks English, and we can arrange guiding in Amharic, Tigrinya, or French on request.
