• Americans, Canadians and citizens of most western countries need just a passport to travel to Israel: no visa is required. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you enter the country.

• Absolutely! If you would like to extend your trip before or after Israel, just check the appropriate boxes on the registration form.

• We strongly advise you to purchase travel/medical insurance at the time of paying for the trip for maximum coverage. For suggestions on insurance companies, contact Sababa Travel for more information.

• For best coverage, this should be purchased at the same time as booking your trip. There are different types of coverage, but they basically fall into two categories: one covers a range of reasons for cancellation, but not all; and the other allows you to cancel for any reason. Additionally medical transport insurance can be purchased through Medjetassist.

• Our group’s safety in Israel is our number one priority. Should there be any escalation of any kind, we make thorough decisions as to how modify our program so as to distance the group from whatever geographic area is the hot spot or make any necessary changes based on the situation that arises. We take great care to be communicative at all times with our participants so they feel updated, aware, and reassured.

• No vaccinations are required to visit Israel.
