Safe vacation and housing — a protected space in every apartment
Looking for an apartment with a safe room for short-term rent — for a relaxed holiday, temporary housing, or because you were evacuated and need a safe place for a while? Every apartment managed by SHOOKROON GROUP includes a protected space. 7 of them have an in-unit safe room (mamad) — the protected space preferred by Home Front Command, with immediate access and no need to leave the apartment. All other apartments have a shelter or adjacent protected space just 5 to 90 seconds away.
We believe in full transparency: further down the page you'll find a table listing the protected-space type and arrival time for every apartment, so you can choose with complete confidence — whether for a weekend, a month, or an extended stay.
Housing for wartime — a mid-term temporary solution
During a military operation or war, many families look for temporary housing outside the danger zone — not for a single night, but for weeks or months, until it's safe to return home. That's exactly what we provide: furnished, fully equipped apartments with a protected space, for mid-term rent, in relatively safe cities in northern and central Israel.
The apartments suit families evacuated from border towns or risk areas, workers relocated temporarily, and anyone who needs a home with a safe room for a period. We're flexible on length of stay, issue a tax invoice, and match the apartment to family size, proximity to schools and work, and budget.
- Stays from a week to several months — with the option to extend as the situation develops.
- A protected space in every apartment — an in-unit safe room or a shelter a short distance away.
- North & center — Haifa, Akko, Nahariya, the Galilee and the Carmel in the north; Netanya and Shoham in the center.
- Tax invoice — suitable for submission to an employer, a local authority or a funding body.

Safe room or shelter — the difference, and why it matters
A safe room (mamad) is a room inside the apartment built to Home Front Command standards to protect against rockets, missiles and shrapnel. The key advantage: immediate access, without leaving home, and without depending on neighbors or a public space. A shelter or shared protected space (miklat) is on the building floor, in the basement or nearby — and you must reach it within the "defense time" set by Home Front Command for the area.

Safe-room apartments by area and city
Searching by location? Go to the relevant area or city page — with the apartments, protected space and arrival times:
Do you have apartments with a safe room (mamad) for short-term rent?
Yes. SHOOKROON GROUP has 7 apartments with an in-unit safe room: in Akko (Anchor House, Bahai Terrace, Or-Yam, Akko Lookout), in Haifa (Horev Terrace), in the Galilee (Villa Calma in Migdal) and in Shoham (Shoham Estate). All other apartments have a shelter or protected space 5 to 90 seconds away. All are available for short- and mid-term rent. As of July 2026.
What is the difference between a safe room (mamad) and a shelter (miklat)?
A safe room (mamad) is a room inside the apartment built to Home Front Command standards to protect against rockets and missiles, with immediate access and no need to leave home. A shelter is a shared protected space — on the building floor, in the basement or public — that you must reach within the defense time. Home Front Command defines the in-unit safe room as the preferred protected space thanks to its availability and location inside the home.
How quickly can you reach the protected space in each apartment?
In the 7 apartments with a safe room, access is immediate — the protected space is inside the home. In the others the time ranges from about 5 seconds (Campus House, Haifa — adjacent shelter) to about 90 seconds (Port Terrace, Haifa). All times are within the Home Front Command defense time for the area. The table on this page lists the protected-space type and arrival time for every apartment.
Can I rent a safe-room apartment for a long period or for evacuees?
Yes. Our apartments also suit temporary housing and extended stays — for families evacuated from their homes, for workers, or for anyone who needs a protected space for a period. Mid-term rental (weeks to months) is available, and the price is set by length of stay. Contact us for a tailored arrangement.
In which cities do you have apartments with a safe room or protected space?
In Haifa, Akko, Nahariya, Netanya, Shoham, the Galilee (Migdal) and the Carmel (Isfiya). The in-unit safe rooms are concentrated in Akko (4 apartments), plus Haifa, the Galilee, Netanya and Shoham. Every apartment has a protected space — a safe room or a shelter a short distance away.
Does an apartment with a safe room cost more?
On the open market, safe-room apartments are in higher demand and sometimes cost more, especially during emergencies. With us the price is set by the apartment, season and length of stay — we don't charge extra just for having a safe room. Send your dates and number of guests for an exact quote.
What is the defense time and how long is it in your areas?
The defense time is the window you have to enter a protected space from the moment the alert sounds, set by Home Front Command by the town's distance from the border. As of June 2026, Haifa and the north were extended to about 90 seconds and Akko to about 45 seconds. In all our apartments the protected space is within reach of that time. For exact verification, check the
Home Front Command portal.
How do I book a safe-room apartment with you?
Choose an apartment on the page, send us your dates and number of guests on WhatsApp +972-50-930-0303, and we check availability, explain exactly what the protected space is, and confirm the booking with a tax invoice. Simple and fast.
Can I rent a safe-room apartment during wartime — for a day, a week or a month?
Yes. You can rent an apartment with a safe room (mamad) or a protected space for any length of stay — daily, weekend, weekly or monthly. During emergencies and wartime we are especially flexible on the length of stay and will match a temporary safe-room apartment for families and evacuees, with a tax invoice. The nightly price drops the longer the stay.
What is an apartment with a protected space, and is it the same as an apartment with a mamad?
A protected space is any space designed to shield against rockets and missiles — it covers a mamad (a residential protected room inside the home), a public shelter, or a floor-level protected space. An apartment with a mamad has the protected room inside the apartment itself, which is the fastest and most preferred type. Every SHOOKROON apartment has a protected space, and eight of them have a mamad inside the home.
Do you have a temporary safe-room apartment for an evacuated family?
Yes. We have furnished apartments with a mamad or a protected space for temporary housing, particularly suited to families evacuated from their homes during wartime. They can be rented by the week or by the month, with the option to extend, in Haifa, Akko, Nahariya, Netanya, the Galilee and the Carmel. We issue a tax invoice you can submit to the local authority or to the funding body.
The information on this page is general and current to the best of our knowledge as of July 2026.

Defense times and safety guidance are set and updated by Home Front Command and may change — for full verification and life-saving instructions, refer to the
