At last there's a guide that shares the country's pleasures that Israelis and Europeans have enjoyed for years. Fodor's Israel captures outdoor sports, hiking, beaches, and snorkeling in addition to the historic and religious sites.
The Pleasures and Pastime section for each region highlights what Israelis are likely to enjoy--from archaeology and beaches to walking and wine. Great Itineraries from 1 to 19 days route the visitor through historic and beautiful places in Israel overall and by region. And Closeups provide the history and context for the country and its people.
Maps let you know where you are. Masada, and nearby the Dead Sea includes a two-page guide to the site and details on its history and legacy, and a section devoted to Eilat and all the sports activities associated with the Red Sea coast line.
Fodor includes its' usual strengths in up-to-date and highly focused hotel and restaurant listings throughout the country.
