About Israel
For anyone with a love of history, Israel and the Holy Land could not be a better destination. The small country which backs onto the Mediterranean Sea is the spiritual and historical center point of many religions and cultures and a fascinating country
to visit.
While Hebrew and Arabic are the official languages of Israel, the mix of pilgrims and immigrants mean many European and old world languages are spoken with English as an unofficial alternative language for most the population. Influences from all over
the world can be felt in the cities, from ancient Jerusalem to modern Tel Aviv.
The history is complex and complicated but Israelis live relatively simple lives. It is almost a shock to visitors how easy everything is, and how relaxed travelling Israel can feel. Whether you find yourself exploring the vast emptiness of the desert
dunes, floating in the super salty Dead Sea or finding ruins of the Roman Empire, you’ll find a destination to suit your travel style.
Hotels in Israel range from beachfront resorts and seaside spas to camping in the wilderness. Most travelers spend time in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea and Tel Aviv with transportation in this small country easy to arrange.
Here is a list of adventures that await you in Israel:
- Explore desert craters in Machtesh Ramon
