Eilat and the Arava are far from the centre of the country and from most other communities. The region has a strong tourist season, and activity changes with the time of year. You can choose this region at sign-up.
When the distance to other towns is large, agree in advance who travels, when and how. Choose a public place and leave the details of the meeting with someone you trust.
In peak seasons it can be hard to find free tables and rooms, so leave a time margin.
At sign-up you choose a region from the list, and it is saved in your profile. You can change it in account settings.
Registered members can filter profiles by region in search. Public pages, including this one, show no profiles, photos or member lists.
Contact details and private photos are shared only with your approval. Until then, no one else can see them.
For a first meeting, choose a public place, get there and back by a route you know, and tell a friend or family member where you will be.
Do not send money or financial details to someone you met on the site, however convincing the story sounds.
You can report a profile and block a member from the profile. The full first-meeting guide is in the guides section of the site.
