Jerusalem is sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims; it receives a lot of religious traffic, especially during the festive months. Interesting stops include the Masada Fortess and the Tzippori Ruins.
No trip to Israel is complete without seeing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. A sacred site for Jews, Muslims and Christians alike, this is Jerusalem’s most famous landmark. Walk through the fabled walled section of the Old City and soak in the history of the place.
Other interesting stops include the Wailing Wall, the most scared site to offer Jewish prayers, and the Via Dolorosa, said to be the route Jesus took when he carried the Cross to his crucifixion.
The Tower of David, the holy sites of Nazareth and Bethlehem, the ancient port cities of Jaffa and Caesarea, and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial are also worth a visit. Enjoy some of Israel’s natural wonders at the Banias Nature Reserve and the Banis caves, the Dead Sea and the Ein Gedi Oasis.
