Israel, an adventure between sea and desert
You must explore Tel-Aviv, this bustling city that has become one of the trendiest international destinations. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Jerusalem, a holy city for the three major monotheistic religions. Visit Haifa, Safed, and Nazareth, taste the Dead Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, or even the Red Sea. Explore the natural parks of Galilee, the ruins of Masada, and the lunar desert of the Negev to understand these multiple facets of Israel.
A true stop on a pilgrimage to various holy sites (the Western Wall, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre), Israel is also a place steeped in history with many archaeological remains. By taking a trip organized by a local agency, you can experience an authentic stay close to all the realities of this country.
A journey between history and modernity
Israel is undoubtedly one of the most historic places in the world. A history that is both complex and exceptional, where the destinies of great civilizations are intertwined. For the traveller, the country offers a fascinating journey through time that begins in the footsteps of the Bible, in landscapes at the beginning of the world. Thus, the city of Jericho was founded about 9,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. The region was not only a cradle of the first civilizations, but also a land coveted by all the great empires, who left traces, often spectacular, of their presence there.
The Must-See Sites to Discover
After a journey through the mountains, you will arrive at the lowest point on Earth for a must-do experience on any trip to Israel: a bath in the Dead Sea! Covering oneself with mud and then bathing in this very salty water guarantees unique sensations and softens the skin. This water is also believed to help relieve rheumatism and muscle pain.
Jerusalem is the holy city for the three monotheistic religions, with several sacred sites. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity associate a significant moment of their history with the Dome of the Rock, located in the center of the Temple Mount. In Jerusalem, you will find the Western Wall, important in Jewish religion, as well as the Mount of Olives and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, fundamental in Christianity. The old city, surrounded by walls, is accessible through five gates and consists of four quarters: Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Armenian. As you stroll through the Byzantine enclosure of Jerusalem, you will be struck by a feeling of serenity.
Tel Aviv is in constant excitement, with a multitude of restaurants, trendy bars, and lively clubs. In stark contrast to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is a modern and bustling city where one never gets bored. Culturally cosmopolitan, it charms with its allure. Let yourself be captivated by "Old Jaffa."
Tiberias, a historic Israeli city, is known for its cultural discoveries. Thanks to the Sea of Galilee, travelers can relax while visiting religious sites such as churches or synagogues.
Discover Israel Differently
The walk through the Jaffa flea market is a local experience that will delight all second-hand enthusiasts. You will find high-quality vintage furniture, second-hand clothing, and beautiful oriental rugs. There are plenty of stalls to grab a bite, and you'll find it hard to resist the delicious falafels.
The fortress of Massada National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a complex of palaces and fortifications perched atop a mountain in the Judean Desert. It is an impressive site, beautifully restored.
Located north of Haifa Bay, Akko is a modern city whose historic center was founded over 5000 years ago. Between minarets, walls, and bell towers, the visit to this old center is fascinating. Don't miss the Hospitaller Citadel, the former headquarters of the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem.
