Your Expat Community in Israel

Learn More about Being an Expat in Israel

Whether you're moving to Tel Aviv or situating yourself in Jerusalem, you'll benefit from ancient history, a commitment to family living, glorious sunshine, and an array of decadent restaurants. Both cities have seen an increase in contemporary living in recent years, while maintaining their rich culture. This means you could take a stroll through the Gardens of Gethsemane and sip a cocktail in the Mamilla Hotel rooftop bar just hours later. Thanks to its coastal situation, Tel Aviv is a winning choice for those who love their seafood. Visit Hitraklin Bistro Meat and Wine for tasty food that doesn't cost the Earth, or Milgo & Milbar for something a little more upmarket. The Israeli diet is largely healthy, which means you'll experience the benefits almost immediately. While we're talking about health, you'll be pleased to learn that access to public and private hospitals is excellent, and the simple public transportation system in Israel's major cities should bring your blood pressure levels down a little too.
