Discover ancient ruins, vibrant cities, and unique landscapes on your trip to Israel.
Despite its modest size, Israel is one of the most culturally and religiously significant nations in the world. This compact country is sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and packed with an amazing variety of attractions for travellers. It is steeped in fascinating history and bursting with religious interest, while maintaining Western comforts and lifestyles. Geographically, it is made up of the coast, mountains, valleys and desert. Every tree you see was planted in a country where they did not naturally grow.
Chief among its attractions is Jerusalem, one of the holiest cities in the world. Home to three religions, it is one of the oldest cities in the world. Nearby Bethlehem in the West Bank as well as other biblical centres add to the country's religious aura. But it's not just for religious travellers. Tel Aviv is a rapidly growing metropolis on the Mediterranean with good shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and excellent beaches. A side trip to the old scenic port of Jaffa is well worthwhile on travel to Israel. The Dead Sea and Ein Gedi Nature Reserve offer natural highlights, while historical travellers will want to visit the mountaintop fortress of Masada or Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee.

Exploring Israel is a Journey into the Soul
It's hard to overstate the religious and cultural significance of Israel. Its biblical history makes it the Holy Land for Christians, Muslims, and Jews, its geographic location and cultural history make it central to Jewish and Arab culture, and its strong relationships with Western nations make it something of a modern standout in a typically traditional region. But the appeal of a trip to Israel goes beyond the history. This is a nation where the very stones themselves seem alive with a spiritual pull that's palpable from the moment you arrive.
