Attractions

All the main monuments of Christian culture, for which people come to Israel, are mostly located in Jerusalem.

Garden of Gethsemane. Eight old olive trees have been preserved in this sacred place; according to legend, they saw Christ praying the night before his arrest.

Now the garden is surrounded by a stone wall on which bas-reliefs are created illustrating the biblical story of the Last Supper and the betrayal of Judas.

Mount Zion. Now it is just a small hill, but there are several Christian shrines there: the tomb of King David and the chamber of the Last Supper can be seen in a building built by the Crusaders.

Right there on the Mountain there is the Church of St. Peter, built where Peter denied his teacher three times, and a Benedictine monastery, which was built on the site of the house of John the Evangelist, where the Mother of God spent the last years of her life.

O. Schindler, who saved hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust, is buried here; these events formed the basis of S. Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List”.

Despite the fact that classic autumn is already well established in November, the weather in November continues to delight tourists who come to the Holy Land on vacation with its warmth and friendliness. True, the autumn mood cannot but affect temperature fluctuations in the country. It's getting a little cooler even in sultry Eilat. The air temperature in the south of the country still continues to remain in the warm zone – up to +28 degrees.

However, other areas of the country are not too inferior to Eilat and the Red Sea coast. Near the Sea of ​​Galilee, the air temperature is around +25 degrees, on the Mediterranean coast it is at +22 degrees, in Jerusalem, however, it drops to +19 degrees. But even the minimum temperature threshold does not allow us to call the weather in Israel in November truly autumn in our Russian understanding.

Of course, it is even cooler in Israel at night in November - the temperature can drop to +12 degrees. This feature of the weather in Israel at the end of autumn is worth taking into account - it would be very useful to take warm clothes with you. In addition, at this time of year the rainy season is already in full swing, so a little coziness will be very useful.

Israel in November: a resort alternative to the Emirates and Egypt or an exclusively excursion holiday?

I have been living in Tel Aviv since I was 19 years old. Usually new acquaintances shake their heads in bewilderment when I tell them that I love Israel most in November. Not a period of heat, sun and beaches, but a time of tourist calm and pleasantly cool weather.

I’ll tell you what to expect in Israel at the end of autumn - where is it better to go if you need the sea; what clothes to take if both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are on your plans; and how best to organize your trip.

From the editor: The article was written for the site by the author Elena. But all the photos are ours. We were in Israel at the beginning of December and in September.

When is the best time to vacation in Israel?

So, the most comfortable time to travel is late autumn. The heat subsides (yay, long walks!), tourists leave, hotels become cheaper - and now you can rent a 3-star room for $90 for two, instead of the seasonal $120.

But if it's important to you warm sea ​​to swim throughout your vacation, then choose May, September or October. In some areas, beach holidays in Israel continue into November and December. From June to August the country is a small branch of a hot cauldron from hell.

Russia and Israel have a visa-free regime. You can stay for up to 90 days. Upon arrival, I advise you to have printed reservations for a return ticket, hotel or apartment and write down the phone number of the reception or owner/host in advance.

Weather in Israel in November

If I had listened to - and even more so seen - the local residents, I would have thought hard about traveling to Israel: at the beginning of November they are already cold, they are bundled up from head to toe and complain about the hard life ahead in winter.

It’s funny, considering that I, like many people from the CIS, wear a T-shirt, shorts and a hoodie in my bag all November, and I’m warm. But it’s fair to note that this applies to Tel Aviv. Jerusalem has a different climate.

Air temperature in Israel in November

Tel Aviv.
For the most part, the weather in Israel in November is like the beginning of September in Russia. The sun is comfortable, SPF is not needed, it rains a couple of times a month - and these days it “gets cold” to +20°C.
On average, the air temperature is +24°C during the day; at night it drops to +21°C. Jeans, T-shirts, shirts and a sweatshirt/light jacket in reserve are the optimal set for Tel Aviv.

Jerusalem.
It’s cooler here, although the drive from TA to Jerusalem takes an hour and a half. During the day it’s +19°C outside, in the evenings it’s already +15°C. This is where something in reserve will save you. Jerusalem rarely “rains” in November, only two or three days during the entire month.

Eilat.
The great joy of a beach tourist: the sun flares up to +28°C! True, the difference between day and night temperatures is 10 degrees. But people swim, people extend their summer. There is no precipitation.

Sea water temperature in November

We checked that swimming in the Dead Sea is easy, even in November / View of the Tel Aviv embankment

Is it possible to swim in November? Let's compare.

Mediterranean Sea (Tel Aviv).
The water temperature drops over the course of a month from +25°C to +22°C. During the November holidays you can take a dip - it’s quite tolerable for a seasoned Russian tourist. But not for long, plus the wind gets in the way. Therefore, most of the surfers in the sea wear wetsuits.

Dead Sea (Ein Bokek).
The Dead Sea in November is a slightly “abnormal” resort area, because here the water is warmer than the air. +26°C is suitable for swimming, but you understand that this is for one time only? I went in, took a photo with a newspaper, hovered on the surface, and went to wash off the oil film from my body. Be sure to go :)

Red Sea (Eilat).
If you go to Israel in November 2019, the warmest weather and sea temperature will be in Eilat. The southernmost resort welcomes tourists at the end of autumn, and tourists welcome water at +25 degrees.

Prices for tours to Israel in November - 2019

It makes sense to go on a tour exclusively to Eilat - to a classic beach resort. It is more profitable to watch the rest of Israel on your own.

I book trips for my parents online. Not only to the Red Sea, but also to Turkey, Tai, etc. It’s more convenient, time-saving and “transparent” - I know for sure that the price is from the tour operator. I always compare three services:

...and I take it where it’s cheaper.

Prices for tours to Israel in November:

✓ The minimum cost of a 7-day tour for two is from 50,000 rubles. For a 5 star hotel - from 90,000 rubles.

✓ Family vacation consisting of “mom, dad, child” - from 65,000 rubles per week.

✓ Well, “all inclusive” costs from 90,000 rubles for two for 7 days.

If on your own.
Flights to Israel in November 2019 (from Moscow):

  • to Eilat - from 9,000 rubles per person round trip
  • to Tel Aviv - from 11,000 rubles

Hotels and apartments: in Eilat, expect prices from $55 per night for two in a simple hotel with RoomGuru; in Tel Aviv, it is wiser to choose an apartment with Airbnb - from $70 per night (but using the link, beginners can save $32).

Insurance: 400-500 rubles per person for a week - look for it on or Sravni.ru. Inexpensive, so don't neglect it, please.

Resorts and cities of Israel - where is the best place to relax in November?

Which resort should you choose? The country is compact, and the solution to the problem of “where is the best place to relax” is limited to 3-4 places - for example:

  • sea ​​in Eilat,
  • Tel Aviv with a stop in nearby Jerusalem,
  • Dead Sea resorts, of which the most popular is Ein Bokek.

There are no holidays or celebrations in Israel in November 2019, so your preferences play a role.

Eilat in November

It’s very warm in Eilat at this time, you can definitely swim :)

Eilat in November is suitable for a beach holiday. In autumn the climate here is very mild. Adults can enjoy beaching, diving, kite and windsurfing, and children can go to the water park and swimming, incl. and snorkeling in the Red Sea.

Not far from Eilat are the local attractions of the Red Canyon and the Negev Desert. Every time I'm in Eilat, I go there on 1-2 day hikes.

Tel Aviv in November

Tel Aviv embankment in the evening, people are still sunbathing

Tel Aviv in November is good for a walking and sightseeing holiday. Watch the sunrise or watch the sunset on the seashore, wander through the old city of Jaffa and flea markets, ride a scooter along the embankment, look at a bunch of skyscrapers, modern Israelis and their huge dogs (pets are clearly a universal fashion, every third person has a dog).

In general, Tel Aviv is a noisy party metropolis with unreasonably inflated prices and a constant flow of tourists. You can take a break from it in Jerusalem - a quiet, historical, religious city.

Lake Kinneret in November

Where is the best place to relax in Israel? The locals would answer - on Lake Kinneret. Take a hotel or a zimmer (similar to our dacha) and enjoy the tranquility. Most tourists have never heard of the lake. But in vain. It is impossible to live there in the summer - the heat is terrible at 40-45 degrees, but in the autumn the Kinneret climate is pleasant. Of all the cities around the lake, Tiberias won my heart. I advise you to go straight there.

You should also definitely check out Gan HaShlosha National Park, which is a 1.5 hour drive from Tiberias. Unity with nature for 2-3 days - wonderful! There are thermal springs and a huge park with an incredible number of different plants.

Entertainment in Israel - what to do in November?

Walking through the old city of Jerusalem / Western Wall

I don’t want to recommend banal and obvious places to visit like the Western Wall in Jerusalem or the Azrieli Tower in Tel Aviv. It is obvious. I want to surprise you with corners that amaze even the Israelis themselves with their beauty.

For example, in Jerusalem, after the usual excursions around the Old City, take a look at:

  • Sorek Nature Reserve- stalactite cave 15 minutes from the Holy City. To be honest, I never got there, but my friends have recommended it many times already. I'll definitely check it out on my next visit to Jerusalem! Ticket price is 28 shekels (515 rubles).
  • Jerusalem Biblical Zoo- created based on Noah's Ark and contains all types of animals listed in the Tanakh (Old Testament). I've been here 2 times and always felt childish delight. Entrance ticket is 59 shekels (1100 rubles) for parents, 46 shekels (850 rubles) for those under 18 years old.
  • Mini Israel- a park of miniatures for both adults and children. I am still amazed at the meticulous work the restorers do all the time. The park combines symbols significant for Judaism, Christianity and Islam, so schoolchildren study the history of Palestine and Israel here. Entrance ticket 69 shekels (1300 rubles).

I love excursions when traveling. I know that there are many good ones about Israel collected on the Tripster service. They are conducted by Russian-speaking local residents. For myself, I booked an individual one in Montenegro, and I really liked it. Here's an example of some:

Holidays in Israel with children in November

There are a lot of children in Tel Aviv

Where is better?
If you are planning Israel in November with children, then it is Eilat (for swimming and the beach) or Tel Aviv. You can go to Jerusalem for a day or two, but staying there for a long time is not an option, because 1) it’s cooler, 2) it’s a bit boring for a child, and pushing a stroller over rocks and paving stones is a bit difficult for adults.

Things to do?
Family holiday destinations around Tel Aviv:

  • Apollonia National Park- thousands of years ago, the ancient city of Arsuf was located here, which was a transit point for traders. Now only ruins remain here, but they are of interest to any young researcher. A ticket for adults costs 22 shekels (400 rubles), for a child - 9 shekels (170 rubles).
  • Superland- a small amusement park for children. Ticket 125 shekels (2300 rubles).
  • Shefayim Water Park- will help keep your child occupied for the whole day. Professional lifeguards and instructors work in the pools, so parents will also have the opportunity to relax. The entrance ticket price for each is 130 shekels (2400 rubles).
  • Safari Park- the best way to show children what a real zoo should look like. This was my first zoo where there was a person in a cage, not an animal. Agree, it's a sound idea. The ticket price is 74 shekels (1360 rubles).

Description of the weather in Israel in November 2020, information about the air temperature in Israel in November from “Subtleties of Tourism”.

  • Tours for May Worldwide
  • Last minute tours Worldwide

Despite the fact that in November the rainy season begins in Israel and the tourist flow decreases, the weather here is summer by Russian standards. The average daytime temperature is +22...+24 °C, although at night it is already cool: +17...+19 °C. The water in the seas has not yet had time to cool down and is equal in temperature to daytime.

The rainy season in Israel is not as bad as, for example, in Asia: precipitation just appears in the fall, which does not happen in the summer. On the Mediterranean coast there are 5-7 rainy days per month, in Jerusalem, far from the coast, there are even fewer, and in the south, in Eilat, there may not be any at all. By the way, the climate on the Red Sea coast has its own characteristics due to its proximity to the desert. The difference between day and night temperatures is greater than in other Israeli cities; in Eilat at night it is about +10 °C, so when going to this resort, it is better to take a sweater or jacket.

November is perfect for excursions; in Jerusalem and Nazareth it is +21 °C during the day. There are no religious holidays this month, so there are few pilgrims, as well as tourists.

Climate and weather in Israel in November 2020. What is the temperature of the water and air. Beautiful video about Israel

It's November outside the window and at this time of year it is better to stay at home than to walk outside or sit in the park. But this is if you are in Russia, and if you are in Israel, then you don’t need to sit, you need to enjoy your vacation, walks and admire the beautiful places and attractions of the country. The thing is, the weather in Israel in November 2020 is warm and sunny. There is almost no rain, especially in resort areas, and the water and air temperatures are such that you can safely swim in the sea and sunbathe on the beach. We invite you to find out why Israel is better than neighboring countries in November and whether it is worth coming here for a beach holiday.

November is the end of autumn, but not the end of the beach season in the country. In the south of the country, where the popular resort of Eilat is located, the weather is generally summer, and the lack of rain makes this place the most desirable for all tourists who want to soak up the beaches at the end of autumn and do it inexpensively.

Yes, Eilat is not only the best resort in the country, but also the best place to relax in November. During the day the temperature here is always above +27, and at lunchtime the air can easily warm up to +30. In such weather, sometimes you should take a break from the sun and go into the shade. But the nights at the resort are cool, and if you want to take an evening walk along the sea, then warm clothes will be very useful. The sea is warm this month, and the water temperature is about +23 degrees. There are waves on the sea, but they will not interfere with your vacation, since they are not very large. It may rain once in a month and during this time 3-5 millimeters of precipitation may fall.

Tel Aviv is also a popular city among tourists. In November the climate here is like in Russia in September. During the day the air is warmed up to +23 +25 degrees Celsius. But this does not last long and by evening it becomes cold. In the evening it can be only +18, and at night it is even colder and not higher than +13. The sea is the same as in Eilat, about +23 degrees. But there is much more rain here. Usually there is precipitation for at least 7 days, and its amount is 80 millimeters.

The capital of Israel, Jerusalem, is popular primarily for sightseeing holidays. Therefore, the weather does not affect the flow of tourists into the city. But it’s still better to walk and sightsee in the sun than in the rain. And there will be sunshine, albeit not much. During the day it’s +19 +21 degrees Celsius. At night it gets cold to +10 +12. It can rain 5 times a month and 60-70 millimeters of precipitation may fall.

As you can see, the weather and climate of the country at the end of autumn are quite suitable for a holiday, including a beach holiday. Therefore, tourists rush here and book hotels. There is another advantage for Russians - they do not need to apply for a visa. And low prices contribute to a large flow of tourists.

Israel in November: weather and tourist reviews

Alyona.

“I went on holiday to Israel for the first time in September and it was hell. It's hot and unbearable here. Now I’ve been coming here in November for several years in a row and I’m always happy. It's warm during the day, not so warm at night, but not cold either. The sea is gorgeous. You can swim in it. Prices are sometimes high, but if you buy food and cook it yourself, it will be much cheaper.”

Eugene.

“It’s just great to vacation in Israel this month. It’s warm even in cloudy weather, and when the sun is shining, you can go to the beach. The sea is simply incredible and you can swim in it all day. You can also sunbathe and the beaches are full of vacationers this month. It rained and there were thunderstorms 3 times during my vacation. But it rained completely twice at night and only one day. In general, I liked everything, I want to come here again.”
