Israel holidays

1 destination in Israel, with real fares from London Heathrow. Compare them in the trip search, or pick one below.

Highlights

Israel's Mediterranean coast pairs a warm, reliable climate with a genuinely urban beach city. We're starting with Tel Aviv.

Why go

  • A beach that sits inside the city rather than a resort strip outside it, so the coast and the everyday city are the same trip.
  • A long warm season either side of summer, with mild winters by northern European standards.
  • A dense food and nightlife scene packed into a compact, walkable centre.

Worth knowing

  • One destination live here so far, so there's little to compare within Israel yet.
  • Buses and trains commonly stop from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening for Shabbat, though taxis keep running — worth building into a short trip.

Fares are one-way prices from London Heathrow, per traveller, checked regularly against Travelpayouts — indicative, not live quotes. See the packages page for real return windows with dates.
