Witness Israel's dizzying development, especially along the Mediterranean
coast and around Tel Aviv. You can visit dozens of world-class historic sites
dating back thousands of years in Jerusalem and Galilee. Spend some time
relaxing in Israel's premier resort of Eilat, on the Red Sea. Informal
and upbeat, Israelis work hard and play hard. Join them and enjoy their delicious fusion
cuisine and masses of entertainment from high culture to all-night clubs.
Background
Dive into exhilarating Tel Aviv. Just 100 years old, it's
Israel's largest and most relaxed city, dominating its cultural and
economic life. Travel a short way east to reach gold-domed Jerusalem, more
than 3000 years old, and today Israel's capital and political and religious
centre. Head north to fertile Galilee, and south to explore the spectacular
Negev desert and the Red Sea beach resort of Eilat.
Urban
Stroll Tel Aviv's long beachside promenade and shop for affordable
designer fashions. Be entertained by the city's world-class orchestras,
modern dance and opera, or if you prefer, all-night clubs and music venues. See the
Dead Sea Scrolls at Jerusalem's Israel Museum, gaze at revered
Biblical sites and explore the awesome Old City. Haifa is the
north's attractive capital. In the south, indulge yourself at
Eilat's upmarket resort hotels, bordering the Sinai Desert.
Rural
See charming little towns like Safad in the gentle fertile hills of
Israel's north-east, and travel around the Sea of Galilee visiting
its beautiful Biblical sites, nature reserves and archaeological remains. Check out
the wine-growing Carmel Hills, one of the highlights of the attractive
Mediterranean strip. In the southern half of the country, float in the weirdly salty
Dead Sea and explore the Negev Desert's awesome
wilderness, with spectacular landscapes and historical sites from long-gone
civilisations.
