Travel to Israel
Israel is a nation that is filled with opportunities to embrace the past. For many, a visit here is an opportunity to tap into their spiritual side, retracing the steps of famous figures like Jesus, Mohammad, or Abraham. It is also a country that is geographically diverse despite being relatively small in size.
One of the most famous sites to visit in Israel is the Wailing Wall, which 68% of all visitors to this nation visit at least once during their stay.
Visiting Jerusalem often means visiting sacred sites and museums. The modern vibe in Tel Aviv gives visitors access to beaches and an upbeat nightlife while they enjoy the White City. Beach resorts in Eilat are the perfect way to relax, especially for those who enjoy scuba diving, golden sands, and lazy afternoons underneath warm sunshine.
History can be found in many different locations throughout Israel. From the Mount of Olives to the Masada ruins near the Dead Sea, you can go as far as you want off the beaten track. Planned tours are available to help you enjoy your trip or pilgrimage or you can strike out and explore on your own if you prefer. Hiking, biking, and other adventures are all available.
Israel has the highest number of museums per capita in the world today. Explore the beautiful streets of the Old City, tap into your spirituality, and enjoy a strawberry sunset before calling it a day. When you leave your footprints here, you will also become part of its extensive history.
