Tours to Israel will include religious destinations in a country that is important to Jews, Muslims and Christians, with a special role for Jerusalem.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Israel.

Jerusalem is the religious centre for Jews, Christians and Muslims. It has many spots to visit, go back in time and pray. Both Israel and Palestine consider Jerusalem their capital. Please be aware that due to border disputes it can be violent as well.

Tel Aviv is the economic heart of Israel with major airport and harbour. Most countries have their embassy or consulate here.

Bethlehem is the birth place of Jesus Christ and therefore a very important city in Christianity. Christmas is a busy time here. Bethlehem is located in Palestine, not Israel.

Haifa is a northern Israeli port. Tourists may like to visit the landscaped terraces of Baha'i gardens.

Jericho is a Palestinian city in the West Bank and one of the oldest living cities on the planet and the city with the oldest known protective wall in the world. It may date back to the year 9000 BC.
