Israel
Land of Creation
Israel is jam-packed with history, culture, diverse people, landscapes, and experiences. The modern state may be just 73 years old, but its story began thousands of years ago. You will find Pre-Historic and Biblical archaeological sites, fortresses, and ruins across the country. Israel offers opportunities to enjoy magnificent history and archaeology, along with a broad range of outdoor activities, such as hiking and swimming, together with an energetic urban culture of museums, restaurants, and bustling boulevards.
World smallest Desert
Israel is home to one of the world's smallest deserts, the Negev, where you can find the Ramon Crater, often referred to as "Makhtesh Ramon." However, this geological formation is not actually a crater from a meteor impact but a unique erosion cirque, one of only seven on Earth. It spans over 40 kilometers long and up to 10 kilometers wide, offering stunning and otherworldly landscapes for visitors to explore.
Ancient City of Akko
In Israel, you can visit the ancient city of Akko (Acre), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where history comes alive in its well-preserved Ottoman-era buildings, Crusader ruins, and underground Templar tunnels. What makes it even more fascinating is that it's one of the few cities in the world continuously inhabited since the Bronze Age, offering a captivating blend of cultures, history, and architecture.

Top Places to Visit
Jerusalem
Sacred to three monotheistic religions, it is said to be home to more holy sites than any other city in the world. Synagogues, Mosques, and Churches can be found at almost every turn, especially when exploring the picturesque cobblestone alleyways of the Old City.
The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea, known in Hebrew as Yam Ha-Melakh (the Sea of Salt) is the lowest point on earth, surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Negev Desert. The shores of the Dead Sea are the lowest point on the surface of the earth, and the saline water of the lake give lead to the name because no fish can survive in the salty waters. The other result of the salty water is their renowned health and healing properties and the unique feature that one can float naturally in them.
The Sea of Galilee
The Sea of Galilee (the Kinneret) is a magnificent geographical marvel surrounded by pretty rural agricultural settlements. Famous because of its prominence among New Testament writings (as is the whole of the Galilee as the place Jesus lived), the Sea of Galilee is one of the earliest settled areas in the Land of Israel and boasts archaeological ruins sitting alongside some of the first pioneering settlements in Israel, as well as religious sites, modern cities, and endless outdoor pursuits.
Acre
The Old City of Akko is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of the remains of the Crusader town both above and below street level and because the city is one of a very small number of Ottoman walled towns with citadels, mosques, khans and baths, which have been preserved. In Akko, these sites were built on top of the ruins of the Crusader structures.
Tel Aviv
Fascinating culture and art, statement fashion, international cuisine and a cosmopolitan vibe all act as a magnet for the young and young at heart, from all over the world.
Nazareth
Nazareth’s many legendary churches, mosques, magical Old City, old factories, traditional heritage, colourful market, famous spice shop, craft shops, cultural activities, festivals, true Middle Eastern flavours, scenic panoramic views and fresh mountain air are all reasons that make this exotic city a hit with tourists.
