==Safety==
Like always, precaution is needed when hitchhiking, although in Israel hitchhiking is a way of life. You will find hitchhikers ''everywhere''. Your best bet for getting a safe ride in Israel is getting into a car with people who know what they are doing. Even still, caution is necessary.
You should remember that as a country in a sub-tropical region, it can get '''very''' hot in Israel, sometimes as early as March and as late as September. If you can, before hitchhiking check the predicted [[weather]] in the region of your travel, and if it's going to be hot, don't ignore it. Exposing yourself to heat without caution can be dangerous. In hot days, wear a hat and drink a lot of fluids, especially if hitchhiking in the desert. Suncream and sunglasses are also recommended.
