Hello everyone!

I hope you are well.

This year, the Economic Intelligence Unit's Cost of Living report ranks Tel Aviv 5th in the world.

How far is this true?

What is the cost of rents and bills, internet, transport, grocery, leisure, etc., for expats?

Has there been any change since the start of the COVID-19 crisis?

What about the quality of life in Tel Aviv?

Feel free to reply on this thread or to send me a private message.

We really look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,
