Israel

Few places on earth evoke passion in the way Israel does: the stunning beauty of its hills and valleys, the terrifying tranquility of the Dead Sea, the colorful Makhtesh Ramon Gorge, and the ancient walls and paths of Nazareth and Jerusalem. The quiet prayers of the Orthodox Jews in the Western Wall and the call of the Muezzin reflect how the religious devotion of the Christians, Jews and Muslims living here goes through every aspect of life.

Learn more about this country's turbulent past and explore the rich history of the cities of Nazareth and Jerusalem. A pilgrimage destination, a theme of psalms and a tormented battlefield, Jerusalem has been the scene of critical events in the history of Western civilization. The city contains some of the holiest sites in the world. Today it is a fascinating kaleidoscope of civilizations where daily life flows alongside millennial landmarks.

Tel Aviv is, along with Jerusalem, one of the two most popular tourist destinations in Israel, as well as the economic and cultural center of the country. Young and cheerful, far from religious passions, it fascinates with its energy and its sights.
