The issue of security plays a big role in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
In planning out tours, we follow the recommendations and statements issued by the German Federal Foreign Office. Our route only leads us through areas deemed safe by the Office. While doing so, we keep close contact with the German Embassy and local authorities on the ground. In case of any change of the security situation, the tour route might be subject to according changes.
Over the past years, rarely any suicide attacks have occured in Israel. If so, they hit busses and public institutions. Alsharq tours primarily use their own coaches for transportation. As a travel group, we do not take part in any larger events or gatherings. It is part of our travel idea to spend several days in the Palestinian territories as well. Here, we also travel with our own coach.
