Israel packs an extraordinary range of historical, religious and natural sites into a small country, from the Old City of Jerusalem and the Sea of Galilee to the Negev Desert and the resort town of Eilat on the Red Sea.
There, the main plug types C, H and M are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
