Shalom

Non-PRO English to Hebrew Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
We are working on a project where a character is visiting many different countries in the world. We're introducing the countries with a short line of copy starting with an official greeting of the country - i.e. for France, he'll say "Bonjour I'm in France..."

We are trying to find a generic greeting for Israel that is authentic but this seems to be quite open to debate. So we would like the greeting we've found confirmed accurate or if there is a better suggestions.

Shalom

Shalom is the traditional Hebrew and Israeli greeting - all the other ways of greeting (Ma Nishma, Ma Chudush, Ma sholmchem for example) are variations of "How are You?" and are not a simple greeting.
Example sentence:

Shalom, ma shlomchem?
