Israel

Before visiting Israel, keep in mind that it is a first-world economy, and your overall prices will most likely be comparable to those of a vacation to Europe or the United States. It's best to be aware of this ahead of time so you're not caught off guard when you arrive.

In general, as with everything else, it truly relies on your lifestyle and objectives — and hence what you can save. Rent is the most costly living expense in Israel; everything else is reasonably priced.

Brand-name clothing is often priced similarly to the rest of Europe, which is normally pricier than in the United States. Levi's, for example, is around $70-80. For locally manufactured clothing, the challenge for tourists everywhere is locating decent, affordable sites where the people shop, therefore you have to buy at large chain stores for roughly $50. Rent in Israel is incredibly high, almost as much as in Ireland (which is infamous for enormously expensive rent). The average rent for an apartment outside of the city center for one or two persons is approximately 700$, while for one inside the city center is around 900$.

In general, despite it is costly, it is extremely easy to move around utilizing public transportation without understanding a word of Hebrew. Keep in mind, though, that public transportation is intended to serve the needs of local inhabitants rather than visitors, so you won't find regular bus service to anyplace you wish to travel.
