Security Policies

Authentic Israel is committed to providing a safe and secure travel experience in Israel. The exact nature of Authentic Israel security policies differ according to the type of trip and the preferences of our clients. Some of the ways that we can minimize security risks include the following:

• Planning itineraries to avoid crowded public areas or restaurants/sites without proper security policies
• Designing travel routes to avoid areas with possible security considerations (e.g. West Bank & Gaza strip)
• Security and medical escort service throughout the trip (typical for youth and group family tours)
• Oversight from Israel's "Situation Room" a government-operated service that monitors and advises trips in Israel (typical for youth tours)
• Special armored busses (typical for travel only within the West Bank)

Finally, it is important to remember that despite the persistent tension in the Middle East, the State of Israel remains a vibrant and colorful society. Hundreds of thousands of tourists of all ages and backgrounds visit Israel each year and have deeply meaningful experiences. Most of our clients remark that they feel no security concerns at all once they are in Israel. There is no better time to travel Israel, and we will work with you to make sure that your experience is a secure one.
