Tel Aviv Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

  • Plan for questioning at the Tel Aviv Airport. The airport, which nearly everyone flies into and out of, is one of the most security-conscious in the world, so expect to be questioned within an inch of your life. Don't take it personally.
  • Don't expect much of a gay scene outside of Tel Aviv. The rest of Israel is more conservative, particularly Jerusalem.
  • Expect fewer services during Shabbat. From sundown on Friday to after nightfall on Saturday (the Jewish Shabbat), public transport runs less frequently and more expensively, and many establishments (except restaurants) are closed as well. But the beach gets going Friday afternoon, and the clubs pump all night.

Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: Tel Aviv

By Matt Link
For those who know Israel only via the six o'clock news, Tel Aviv is nothing less than a revelation. Looking more like South Beach than the Middle East, this modern, robust city (nary an ancient wall in sight) is filled with surfers, men in bikinis, girls in thongs, restaurant tables on the beach, and outdoor shopping malls. The place feels like party central compared to buttoned-down Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv's gay scene pumps until dawn. Read More
