Israel is a safe country for women and minority groups, including the LGBTQ community. Tel Aviv boasts the largest Gay Pride Parade in the Middle East and Asia and is one of the largest Pride celebrations in the world. Israel has been ranked as one of the world’s safest countries for women and female travelers and is akin to any other Western country.
Women may still experience their share of catcalling or receive unwanted attention in that regard but overall should not feel unsafe when visiting Israel. Note, however, that women will be expected to cover up when visiting holy sites or religious neighborhoods out of respect for the culture.
