Israel is internationally renowned for its historic significance and diverse natural beauty. The cultural and religious aspect of Israel is related to Jews, Muslims and Christians alike, and hence it is thoughtfully named as the ‘Holy Land’. In spite of tough foreign relations, the country has ever been a sought after tourist destination, apart from being a pilgrim’s land.

Though Israel is not a large country, its geographical features are diverse, comprising the Judean Desert, the snowy peaks of Mt Hermon, and the earth’s saltiest sea namely, the Dead Sea. Its ancient Biblical cities give a deep insight into the historical events dating back to millenniums. Several of them have a privileged place in the World Heritage List of UNESCO. The city of Jerusalem plays a prominent role in imparting historical and spiritual influence to the nation.

Tel Aviv, a city known for its highly urbanized growth has numerous museums, galleries, theaters and restaurants offering a wide variety of exquisite cuisine.  Its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea renders a pleasant beach experience, ranging from fine sandy shores to the rocky coves. The Red Sea Rivera at the Gulf of Eilat exhibits amazing corals and exotic fish, and the surrounding desert cliffs and forested hills of Galilee allow for adventurous hiking expeditions. Mt Hermon, which is a skiing delight in winter, otherwise provides an interesting hiking trail amidst beautiful meadows and streams. Apart from the natural wonders, unique amusement spots for families include Mini Israel, Eilat’s Kings City, Haganah Museum and Jerusalem’s Time Elevator; they impart a nice learning experience too. The Bauhaus Architecture found exclusively in Tel Aviv is a unique attraction.
