Shimmering golden spires reflect the Mediterranean sunshine and present no end of religious iconography and symbolism to accompany cultural travellers on their Israel holidays. Nazareth, Jerusalem and Bethlehem provide a biblical backdrop to small group tours and walking holidays with the chance to float on the Dead Sea or take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee definitely not to be missed.

 

Few places on earth stir up passion the way that Israel does: the breathtaking beauty of its hills and valleys, the eerie stillness of the Dead Sea, the multi-coloured canyon of Makhtesh Ramon, and the ancient walls and pathways of Nazareth and Jerusalem. The call of the muezzin and the quiet prayers of Orthodox Jews at the Western Wall reflect how the religious devotion of the Muslims, Christians and Jews who live here runs through every facet of life.

Tel Aviv is also known as the “white city”, for some old zones of Tel Aviv, with more than 4,000 structures associated with the international style architecture – and her concentration of Bauhaus buildings and green garden city avenues & streets.

For the curious visitor, Israel never fails to challenge and confound, excite and surprise, leaving an imprint that lingers long after the return flight home.
