We track one city in Israel. Its mid-range shoulder-season day comes to $428, which is 53% above the median across all 68 cities in the index.
Tel Aviv is the anchor — bauhaus on the mediterranean, late-night everything. Accommodation is 51% of the mid-range day there, so where you sleep decides most of the budget.
Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Israel the peak-to-low swing runs 155%–155%, widest in Tel Aviv (155%, mediterranean coastal / resort pattern: low Jan–Mar, Nov–Dec at ×0.62, peak Jun–Sep at ×1.58). Beach-led demand with cruise calls: rooms triple in August and half the inventory simply closes in winter, so the low season is genuinely cheap rather than merely quiet.
