Israel has been a tourism destination for over two thousand years. When travelling the length of the country one can enjoy the geological sites and splendours ancient Israel has to offer.
Jerusalem, Israel's capital has stood at the centre of the Jewish people’s national and spiritual life since King David made it the capital of his kingdom some 3000 years ago. Today it is a flourishing, vibrant metropolis, the seat of the government and Israel’s largest city. Today you can hear the glanging of bells from Christian churches and the prayers from Jews before the Western Wall. Many new hotels have been built, and many older hotels were extensively renovated and expanded.
Tel Aviv is today the center of the country’s industrial, commercial, financial and cultural life and is the first Jewish city in modern times.
Israel has so much great variety to offer the visitor. Fertile valleys, arid and desolate regions of desert, sparkling lakes and sea side resorts. The hustle and bustle of towns and noisy locals markets makes a subtle contrast to the sanctity of holy places. Each community and town retains its special arts, religion, dress and costumes, proudly keeping Israel’s traditions alive.
