16 June 2025 Travel Update

Shalom, dear friends and travel partners,

This is an update from Sar-El Tours & Conferences regarding recent developments in the Middle East between Israel and Iran.

A few days ago, Israel, out of no choice, went in and attacked in Iran in order to guarantee Israel's future and safety and eliminate the uranium nuclear program. The operation so far is very successful. However, we do face challenges as Iran is launching missiles towards Israel at nights. Most missiles are being intercepted on the way, but sadly, a few have hit their targets.

Please join us as we pray for Israel. We pray for our soldiers, and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Most of our groups have managed to get out of the country with our help, mainly through the land borders, which is still possible. We do have a few groups that chose to remain, and they are all safe in the hotels, still enjoying a peaceful atmosphere in peaceful areas. We are working on getting them out to the border when flights arranged.

Travel Advisory

For those groups who wish to come soon, we ask you to wait with these plans and postpone, but just by a bit. We will continue to update you as things develop.

Our teams are all here, safe and secure. Our families are good, and we look forward to serving you once again. Our team is fully available for questions and clarifications. Feel free to contact your tour operator and the management of Sar-El.

Looking Ahead

We believe that as things will settle down - hopefully soon, by God's grace - we can continue planning. Now remains still the best time to plan. Things are quiet and slow, but we believe after this conflict ends, we will see a surge in bookings and demand. All those who wanted to visit Israel during the last 18 months will all want to come at once, so make sure you plan and book for the near future.

With many blessings and shalom from Jerusalem,

Your Sar-El Team
