Criminalised or dangerous: high risk

  • Same-sex relations are criminalised in Gaza; the West Bank has no such law, but the climate is very hostile.
  • Avoid any public display of affection, and think twice before posting photos or personal details online.
  • Be very careful with dating apps: police and criminals have used them to set traps.
  • Trans and non-binary travellers: the gender marker on your passport is what counts at border checks; carry supporting documents if your appearance has changed.
  • If you face discrimination, threats or arrest, contact your embassy right away.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
