ILS (Israeli New Shekel — ₪)
Cash + cards both work. ATMs everywhere. USD/EUR accepted in tourist zones but at poor rates — use shekels.
Not in Schengen. Visa-free entry for most Western passports (90 days). Entry stamp on a separate paper (not in passport) — keep it.
Hebrew Arabic
Hebrew is dominant. Arabic in Arab-Israeli towns (Nazareth, Acre, Umm al-Fahm) and Jerusalem's Old City. Russian widely spoken (1990s immigration wave). English universal in tourism.
Hebrew is native. For Israelis returning home — not applicable; for diaspora Hebrew speakers, fluency expected in any Hebrew-speaking transaction.
