Israel is one of the countries which witness a steady stream of tourists all year round. The tourism is at its peak in the period between June and August and the month of December, when tourists visit from all over the world to enjoy authentic Christmas experience. To avoid the crowds and the spiralling cost of tickets to Israel, visit in April-May or November. February could be a good time to find cheap flights and hotels, but it usually rains a lot in this month.
