Israel vacations have a unique aura which is hard to explain. Despite its small size, Israel includes a large variety of historical and religious sites in the Holy Land. Filled with stunning landscapes as well as modern beach resorts, archaeological and heritage sites and is still rich in undiscovered artifacts.

Journey by land and sea, surveying the landscapes once home to the world’s most ancient civilizations with monuments at every turn. Smell the forests of pines, cypresses and fertile northern mountains. Explore from the rocky desert scenery to the Sea of Galilee. See Red roofed villages, the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean, and the ancient palaces of Masada. Float in the Dead Sea with its salt formations, lowest point in the world, and hike around the lush green of Ein Gedi’s semi-tropical Oasis.

Experience the ancient wonders of Jerusalem, the Holiest city for Jews, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Judah and the Modern State of Israel. Don’t miss the Old walled City, with Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Armenian quarters and homes that are clustered around walled courtyards. It includes the site of the First and Second Jewish Temples on the Temple Mount, now the site of the silver domed Al Aqsa Mosque and the gold domed Dome of the Rock Mosque, which dominates the skyline and has become the city’s most distinguished feature. After Jews were banished from the Temple Mount, the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) became the most sacred Jewish site of prayer in the world and is one of Jerusalem’s most famous landmarks. The wall is all that remains of the Second Temple of Jerusalem, built in 30BC by King Herod. It is made up of enormous stone blocks. Worshippers gather year round to pray and leave prayers folded into its crevices.

From there, wander through centuries old winding streets and spice-laden markets. View the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the burial site of Jesus. Stop by and visit the Israel Museum for a glimpse of the famed Dead Sea Scrolls while drinking in the atmosphere of one of the oldest Cities in the world.

Seek the underwater world of the Red Sea. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, wind sailing and beautiful beaches-a great place for children.

Israel also offers world-class Museums. In fact Israel has the highest number of museums per capita in the world. Enjoy the all year round carousel of music, arts and cultural events. Newsweek rated Tel Aviv as one of the top-ten night life Cities in the world, so there are plenty of places to engage the senses and enjoy around-the-clock action.

From the snow capped peaks of Mt. Hermon to dramatic red rock deserts in the space of a couple of hundred miles, it is easy to visit every corner of this fascinating country, which makes Israel Vacations the trips of a lifetime.
