Safety & Security

Safety and security are our number one priority

We, at Israel Way, are committed to provide you with a safe and secure travel experience in Israel. While our approach to security is systematic and comprehensive, we are equally committed to offer you a meaningful and enjoyable encounter. It is our sincere belief that these two elements of the program do not need to be mutually exclusive. We find that when participants arrive in Israel, they feel a sense of security that does not match the images in the media.

If you, your family, or a friend would like to discuss our security approach in greater detail, we encourage you to contact us.

So what is our approach to safety and security?

 

  1. The safety and security of the participants in our programs is our number one concern.

  2. As an Israeli company, we are constantly monitoring the security situation as well as sense the mood of the situation and react swiftly to it.

  3. No public transportation is utilized at any time during the program.

  4. We do not approach or enter the Palestinian Authority and /or the Gaza Strip in any way or manner.

  5. Israel Way operates a 24-hour hotline.

  6. The group has a mobile phone for contact.

  7. All activities will be coordinated with the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) that runs the Situation Room and coordinates all tours for the Ministry of Education and other official bodies in Israel, with the Army, Police and other security services. The Tour Educator will be in touch with the Israel Way Office where he will receive updates.

  8. To ensure the most comfortable tour in Israel and abroad, security officials in Israel carefully and expertly examine and review the itinerary of every program we operate. Visits to all sites are pending security approval.

  9. The itinerary is subject to change without prior notice in the case of a security reason decided upon by Israel Way.

  10. We expect good sense to be exercised by all participants. Toward that end, we request your full cooperation by abiding by all guidelines and instructions given to you by Israel Way staff. This includes any directives given from Israel Way to refrain from visiting any sites deemed a potential security and/or safety risk.
