Israel
is a beautiful country and a great place to visit. The country has marvelous
old cities, good beaches and plenty of culture, history and holy places...
and really good food.
Israel is bordered by Egypt in the south,
Lebanon in the North and
Jordan
and Syria in the East.
Jerusalem will be high on any list of favourite destinations and with
good reason: in the old city there is a church or convent on every corner,
there are beautiful mosques and many other holy places. Be sure to go to
Mount Scopus (the original campus location for Hebrew University) and get an
incredible view of the Old City. While there, go to the other side of the
university campus (near the amphitheater) and look out over the Judean
Desert towards Jordan. On good visibility days you can see the
Dead Sea in
the distance and the Moab mountains of Jordan just beyond.

Eilat - The main attraction of Eilat is diving in the Red Sea, one of the world's most spectacular underwater preserves. You can see brightly colored coral and fish and may see everything from a venomous lionfish to a moray eel to a shark to a sea turtle to a manta ray. Even if you're not a diver, you can enjoy the magnificent coral reef from the surface with a snorkel and mask or on a glass-bottom boat ride. One of the newer Eilat attractions is Dolphin Reef, where you can swim and dive with dolphins.
Less well-known is the fact that Eilat is one of the best places in the world for bird watching. Approximately one billion birds traverse the area between the Mediterranean coast and the Jordan mountains, making southern Israel the site of one of the greatest concentrations of migrating birds in the world. The migration from Europe to Africa takes place from September to November and the return flight begins in March and lasts through May. Eilat is the headquarters for the International Birdwatching Center.
Eilat is also known as a great place to party at night with lots of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It's also a good place to shop because the city is a free trade zone with no VAT.

Jerusalem - Jerusalem is the modern capital of the State of Israel and the country's largest city. It is a city of people, as diverse as the four corner of the globe from whence they came. To Jews, Jerusalem has always been "The Holy City", and it has been revered by Christians and Muslims for centuries. No wonder Jerusalem has such a tremendous impact, both locally and internationally.
Holy Places in Jerusalem:
The Kotel (Western or Wailing Wall), Temple Mount , The Mount of Olives, Dome of the Rock (Templum Domini), Temple Mount, Temple of Solomon (al-Aqsa Mosque), Tomb of the Virgin, The Mount of Olives, Church of the Ascension, Mount Zion, Church of St. Anne, The Via Dolorosa, The Holy Sepulcher.

Tel Aviv - Tel Aviv is the most modern and westernized place in Israel. Tel Aviv is the party capital. When you walk the streets at night you can hardly imagine you are in the holy land. Sidewalk cafes give the city a decidedly European flavor, expecially in the areas with Bauhaus buildings. Shopping at the enclosed Dizengoff Center is pleasant. Tel Aviv is also the business center of Israel, and has the largest percentage of young people.

Climate in Israel
The Israeli climate is temperate, and temperatures all year round are
reasonable. Israel has two main seasons: Winter from November to March, is
cold and rainy in most parts of the country; Summer from April to October is
hot and dry with little or no rainfall. The desert areas can be extremely hot
in summer time. The best time to visit is March-June or October-November,
although climate shouldn't be a major consideration in choosing a time to
visit.
Israel is definitely worth visiting, and just remember to have a lot of
fun.
