Why Visit Israel in April


April in Israel is a month typically jam-packed with activities, including festivals, musical concerts, and performances. Here are a few of the many reasons why you should visit Israel in April.
- Fewer crowds: There are far fewer tourists in Israel in April relative to the high season (June to September). As a result, the country’s top attractions are not crowded or busy. You will get to enjoy them at your own pace.
- Affordable rates: Fewer visitors means lower hotel and transport rates. Therefore, if you are traveling on a strict budget, April is one of the best months to visit Israel.
- Passover: Passover, commonly known as the Feast of Unleavened Bread, is the most significant day on the Jewish calendar. Be a part of the celebration, where the Jewish people commemorate the abolition of their ancestors' enslavement in Egypt while celebrating the customary Easter lamb.
- Outdoor activities: The spring season in Israel brings gentler weather that is more conducive for outdoor activities, including riding and trekking in the Golan Heights and the Dead Sea region.
- Birdwatching: During spring, around 500 million birds migrate across the Hula Valley. The Eilat Birding Center and the nearby Lotan Nature and Birds Reserve are great spots to witness this amazing spectacle.
