Whether you're a history enthusiast, spiritual seeker, foodie, adventurer or beach lover, Israel offers an unforgettable journey through time, culture and nature.

Here’s just a glimpse of what makes Israel a must-visit destination:

Jerusalem’s Old City

Walk through millennia of faith and history. From the Western Wall to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, this sacred journey weaves together the spiritual and historical heart of Jerusalem.

Tel Aviv

This vibrant coastal city combines Mediterranean beaches, a thriving nightlife, world-class cuisine and modern art.

Masada & the Negev Desert

Hike up the ancient fortress of Masada at sunrise or explore the lunar landscapes of the Negev for a true desert adventure.

Sea of Galilee & Nazareth

Discover the serene beauty and deep biblical roots of northern Israel.

Ein Gedi Nature Reserve

Hike through lush oases, waterfalls and desert canyons teeming with wildlife – a breathtaking contrast in the Judean Desert.

How's the weather in Israel?

Israel enjoys a diverse Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters with some regional variations between the coastal plains, inland cities and desert areas like the Negev.

Here’s a seasonal breakdown to help you understand what to expect throughout the year.

Fall

Temperatures begin to cool down from the intense summer heat, especially in the evenings. Days are generally warm and pleasant, with average highs between 22–30°C. An ideal time for cultural travelers, foodies and those who enjoy exploring cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem without the summer crowds.

Winter

Winters are mild in most parts, with temperatures ranging from 10–17°C. Rainfall is most frequent during this period, especially in the north and along the coast. This is perfect for those interested in hiking the green hills of Galilee or exploring historical and religious sites with fewer tourists

Spring

Arguably the best time to visit, spring brings blooming landscapes, comfortable temperatures (16–25°C) and low humidity. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone keen on outdoor activities, including hiking in the Golan Heights or visiting nature reserves.

Summer

Expect hot, dry weather with temperatures often reaching 30–35°C or higher, particularly in inland and desert areas. Beach lovers and nightlife seekers will find Tel Aviv and Eilat especially vibrant during these sunny, energy-packed months.

Tips for a smooth trip to Israel

Plan ahead and allow for some extra time

Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.

Pack smart

Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.

Stay up-to-date

Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.

At SAS, we strive to ensure our customers have a relaxed and comfortable journey. Regardless of which ticket type you carry, you’ll always enjoy certain SAS customer benefits.
