ISRAEL
The Israeli experience is vast and diverse; historical landmarks and vibrant cities, mediterranean beaches and striking desert landscapes, fascinating human cultures and stimulating wildlife.

Here is a taste of just a few: from the mystical sensation of history coming to life in Jerusalem, through Tel Aviv’s mediterranean spirit and urban sophistication, to Eilat’s carefree atmosphere, the natural wonders of the Dead Sea and the enchanting Galilee area.
