With its intricate architecture, fascinating history and a surprising number of sunbathing opportunities, Israel is much more than Jesus’ birthplace.
In Jerusalem, the old city is awash with religious sites. Gaze over the top of the golden-topped Dome of the Rock, watch worshippers demonstrate their loyalty at the Jewish Wailing Wall or take a moving trip in time at the holocaust museum. Haggle in an Arab souk, soak up the Mediterranean sun or head to Jaffa, one of oldest ports in the world.
With more than 40 national parks and breathtaking views of the Dead Sea, Israel is a naturally beautiful country.
