Sunday Workweek Alignment
In Israel, Sunday is a full official business day. International visitors and businesses should plan meetings, bank visits, and administrative tasks between Sunday and Thursday.
Friday Early Shutdown
Retail stores, open-air markets like Carmel Market, and public transportation wind down early on Friday afternoon between 14:00 and 15:00 ahead of Shabbat.
Saturday Night Reopening
Major indoor shopping malls such as Azrieli Center and Dizengoff Center reopen on Saturday evening approximately one hour after Shabbat ends and stay open until 22:00 or 23:00.
Government Desk Reservations
In-person reception at the Ministry of Interior (Misrad Hapnim) and local tax authorities requires prior digital booking using the central GoVisit platform.
Kosher vs Secular Venues
Kosher-certified establishments close on Friday before sundown and reopen Saturday night. Secular restaurants, beach cafes, and bars in Tel Aviv remain open throughout Friday night and Saturday.
