Israel Travel - Accommodation, Sightseeing Tours, Attractions, Information
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.

Tel Aviv is the place to party. It has good beaches, top cuisine
restaurants and excellent nightlife, probably the best to be found within a
circle of a few thousand kilometers.
The north of Israel is worth exploring: the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, the
Golan Heights and the towns of Tiberias, Acre (aka Akko), and Haifa are the
most important stops on your itinerary to the North.
The south offers the enormous Negev desert and the Dead Sea. In the
southernmost point of Israel, the Red Sea beach resort of
Eilat is a tourist
hot spot. Located at the very bottom tip of Israel, this is a popular
fun-in-the-sun vacation spot. Not to be missed is snorkeling or SCUBA diving
at Hof Almog (Coral Beach) right on the border between Israel and Egypt.
Within the state of Israel you will find the Palestinian Authority which
has some form of autonomy. Cities like Nablus, Jenin, Hebron (in Arabic
called al Khalil), Jericho, Bethlehem and Ramallah are dealt with in the
guide about the Palestinian Authority.

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,

visit.
