It is almost impossible to imagine how a very small country such as Israel can contain so much history but it does! Not only is it overflowing with the archaeological footprints of historical events that date back thousands of years but the impact of these events still resonates today. To visit Israel is to truly travel through time, and while one can literally see almost all of the country in just a couple of days, to do justice to all that Israel has to offer, and to understand its multi-layered ancient and modern history, one needs time.

Travel information for Israel

It is natural that the focus of many tours to Israel centers on the three great religions that began in Israel - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There is no other place on earth that has so many sacred and holy places, and it is thrilling to walk into the past of the Torah, the Bible and the Koran and visit sites where events from these religions occurred. From the Wailing Wall to the Dome of the Rock, from Masada to the Church of the Holy Selpuchre, wherever one goes in Israel, history is spread out across the land. Romans, Crusaders, Sarasens, Turks, and Zionists too have all left their mark.

But Israel is more than just history. For a country that is mostly desert, there are significant bodies of water that shape its beautiful landscapes - the Dead Sea, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea resort area of Aqaba and the freshwater Sea of Galilee. It has bustling, vibrant cities such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, and of course, its most beloved treasure, Jerusalem both the old and the modern. So come to Israel where it is guaranteed that one can find everything from the past to the present in one of the most fascinating countries in the world today.
