eSIM Travel Tips for Israel

Install your eSIM before your flight to Israel
EasyJet, Wizz Air, British Airways, and El Al fly to Tel Aviv from UK airports. Install your HelloRoam eSIM at home. Enable data when you land at Ben Gurion and you are connected for the train into Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.
Currency in Israel
Israel uses the New Israeli Shekel (NIS or ILS). Current exchange rates are roughly £1 to 4.70-4.90 NIS. Israel is moderately expensive for British visitors, comparable to Western Europe in cities. Keep your HelloRoam eSIM active for banking apps and navigation.
Navigation in Jerusalem's Old City
Jerusalem's Old City has reasonable 4G coverage across the Muslim Quarter, Jewish Quarter, Christian Quarter, and Armenian Quarter. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Western Wall areas have good signal. Download offline maps of the Old City's narrow alleys as GPS accuracy can be affected by dense stone buildings.
Negev and Dead Sea coverage
The Dead Sea resort area has good 4G coverage. Masada has coverage at the visitor centre and cable car area. Remote Negev hiking trails, Makhtesh Ramon crater, and desert wadis away from main roads have patchier signal. Download offline maps of any Negev routes before setting off.
FCDO travel advice for Israel
Check FCDO travel advice at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/israel before and during your trip. The FCDO updates its guidance regularly. Keep your HelloRoam eSIM active to access current advisories and contact your travel insurer.

Winter (December to February) is mild in Tel Aviv at 14°C to 18°C but can be rainy in Jerusalem and cold in the Golan Heights. Easter and Passover are extremely busy in Jerusalem. March and April bring blooming anemones in the Negev and Galilee.
