Check before you book

Check the appropriate visa or ETA-IL route; an electronic travel authorization is not a visa.

Entry depends on your passport, citizenship, residence, travel history, purpose and transit route. A safety advisory is different from an entry ban. Check restrictions with the destination’s authorities and your own government; a visa does not guarantee admission.

Source directory reviewed 1 November 2026. Open the authorities’ pages for current rules before booking and again before departure. FCDO entry guidance is written for British citizen passports; use the destination’s visa authority for other passports.

Plan Jerusalem, the Galilee, Bnei Brak and the coast, and Netivot as separate regional legs. Ancient sites are identified according to the traditions described in their sources.

Check current local access and travel guidance before departure. Exact entrances, cemetery sections and event arrangements need confirmation for your dates.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

A meaningful visit,
thoughtfully arranged.

We can help shape your journey around the kevarim you wish to visit and your kosher and Shabbos needs.

Plan My Trip
Cemetery access & practicalities

Confirm the exact cemetery, entrance, caretaker and opening arrangements. Ask about steps, uneven paths and stroller access. Kohanim should obtain guidance about permitted access before approaching a cemetery or ohel.

Kosher food, minyan & Shabbos

Book kosher meals, minyan, mikveh and Shabbos accommodation separately. Confirm the hechsher and services for your dates. A historical community or pilgrimage center does not guarantee daily services.

Yahrzeit visits & historical traditions

A yahrzeit begins at sunset before the listed Hebrew date. Confirm the date, local event schedule and Adar observance in a leap year before booking; ask your rav where customs differ. Dates shown are commemorations, not confirmations of organized events. Ancient sites identified by tradition are labeled accordingly; sources establish historical information, not current access.
