HISTORY AND HEDONISM COMBINED
Tel Aviv has one foot in the Middle East and the other dangling in the inviting waters of the Med, affording visitors a unique mix of both. Israel’s commercial, cultural and culinary capital is hot, noisy and hedonistic - yet simultaneously self-confident and cultured. Highlights include the Old City of Jaffa, which is a treasure trove of historic architecture, and The White City – a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the world’s largest collection of Bauhaus buildings.
The heart of the Hold Land - Jerusalem is one of the most fabled cities on Earth, teeming with tales of biblical proportions at sites like the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Via Dolorosa. Irrespective of your faith or religious belief, visit Jerusalem to discover a fascinating ancient city that has played a pivotal role throughout history.
Beyond Israel’s cities lie its beach resorts. Israel’s Mediterranean coastline stretches for 170 miles – perfect for soaking up the country’s 300 yearly days of sunshine. Between the northern reaches of the Red Sea and the Eilat Mountains is the lively beach resort of Eilat – a favourite with divers, snorkelers and sun-seekers.
For a slower-paced holiday by the water, the Sea of Galilee is a special place where Jesus was said to have lived and taught some of his most famous sermons. And then there’s Israel’s most famous natural wonder: the Dead Sea, where floating is completely effortless and an incredibly surreal experience. The Dead Sea mud also has great healing properties offering the ultimate natural pampering session.
Israel is perfect for a multi-centre holiday. Combine your trip with the archaeological wonders in neighbouring Jordan, home to the magical Lost City of Petra. Enquire today!
