Israel Travel Guide

Israel is bordered by Egypt in the south, Lebanon in the North and Jordan and Syria in the East. Jerusalem will be high on any list of favorite destinations and with good reason: in the old city there is a church or convent on every corner, there are beautiful mosques and many other holy places.

Tel Aviv is the place to party. It has good beaches, top cuisine restaurants and excellent nightlife, probably the best to be found within a circle of a few thousand kilometers.

The north of Israel is worth to explore: the Sea of Galilee,

Nazareth, the Golan Heights and the towns of Tiberias, Acre (aka Akko), and Haifa are the most important stops on your itinerary to the North.

The south offers the enormous Negev desert and the Dead Sea. In the southernmost point of Israel, the Red Sea beach resort of Eilat is a touristic hot spot. Located at the very bottom tip of Israel, this is a popular fun-in-the-sun vacation spot.

Within the state of Israel you will find the Palestinian Authority which has some form of autonomy. Cities like Nablus , Jenin , Hebron (in arabic called al Khalil), Bethlehem and Ramallah are dealt with in the guide about the Palestinian Authority.
