A gay sauna in Tel Aviv is part of a visit for many, even if the selection is more manageable than the rest of the nightlife. Most of the houses are centrally located and easily accessible from the city center. Typical is the mixture of steam bath, Finnish sauna, whirlpool and relaxation areas, often with dark areas and cabins. In most houses, cruising plays a clear role, some place more emphasis on it than others.
The crowd is a mix of locals and travelers, and in the summer, especially around Pride in June, it becomes more international and crowded. Pay attention to the opening hours before visiting, as some saunas only open in the afternoon and have longer hours on weekends. Theme evenings and men's evenings are also common, so it's worth taking a look at the current days. Towels and lockers are usually available on site. If you are out and about away from the saunas, you should know that cruising also plays a role on the beach and in the scene, but the permanent houses remain the easiest way. The following addresses give you an overview of where you can find what you are looking for.
