"So What's Your Favorite place
When You Travel Israel?"
Travel Israel is your one-stop site to all the beauty, culture, history, intrigue, and excitement that makes Israel the most popular country in the Middle East and one of the top tourist destinations in the world!
At Travel Israel you will discover why Jerusalem is the most important city on the map for all three world religions and why Jerusalem's Old City holds a special place in the hearts of Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. Known for its seamless blend of ancient architecture with modern edifices and attractions, there is no lack of what to see, do, smell, eat, and experience in Jerusalem, the City of Gold. Whether you're enjoying a falafel in the center of town or breathing in the aroma of Middle Eastern spices as you stroll through the Israeli shuk (open-air market) and haggle with the vendors for a bargain, visitors young and old will be enthralled with Israel's capital.
Travel Israel will point you in the directions of all the hottest beaches in Israel, with a stunning coastline running along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Other bodies of water not be missed on your trip to Israel include Lake Kinneret and the Dead Sea (Yam Hamelach), which is so dense in salt that you can literally float on top of the water while reading a newspaper, and which is so rich in minerals that Dead Sea health & beauty products are internationally acclaimed and world-renowned for their wellness, healing, and anti-aging benefits. If you're looking for more fun-in-the-sun and some world-class water sports activities, be sure to put Eilat on your travel itinerary. Located in southern Israel, Eilat is home to the famous Dolphin Reef, the Underwater Observatory Marine Park, and the place to go for parasailing, windsurfing, water tubing, surfing, snorkeling, paddle boat riding, jet skiing, banana boat riding, and scuba diving in one of the world's most beautiful coral reefs.
The Holy Land is equally famous for its wide array of guided tours and tiyulim (hikes) which traverse the entire length and width of the country. In fact, Israel is geographically so tiny that you can travel from its most northern to its most southern tip in under eight hours! Boasting breathtaking views and diverse side-by-side landscapes (rocks, sand, desert, mountains, valleys, the lowest point on earth, and even snow on the peaks of Mount Hermon), when it comes to sightseeing, Israel has it all. Check Travel Israel for the full scoop on Jewish Heritage tours, Jewish Singles tours, Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah tours, Christian Holy Sites tours, Biblical Study tours, Israel Desert tours, Israel Archeological tours, and more.
