Israel has something for all.

This tiny country, the mere size of NJ, offers the American “beach type” traveler four seas, each with individual characteristics and moods: the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee providing breathtaking views and relaxing beaches. As you tour the country, from Red Sea, in the south, toward the Dead Sea and continue to the West en route to the Mediterranean, finally heading north to the Sea of Galilee, you pass alongside sacred places and beautiful panoramic views that keep changing as you crisscross the country. Recreation activities and adventure opportunities, great for families and individuals alike (such as rafting, kayaking, jeep touring, mountain climbing and more) are available to you at any time. And for you, the “desert type” Israel gives you two choices: the Negev and the Judean Desert! What is fascinating about the Israeli deserts are on one hand the rocky, spring-studded hills and on the other hand springs and streams transforming themselves into tempting Oasis in the middle of the desert. And those who find Archaeology fascinating will join the “national sport” digging and getting their hands “dirty” in any of the many archaeological parks found about anywhere in the country Pilgrims and spiritual travelers ( Jewish, Christian or Catholic) will find in Israel more holy sites than in any other place world-wide. Whatever your special interest Israel has it all!
