Israel
What you need to know before you go
Israel is an impressively diverse destination, with its wide variety of landscapes, varied history and remarkable culture. Perhaps its biggest claim to fame is the fact that locations here play pivotal roles in many of the world’s largest religions, with the names of cities ringing through thousands of years of human history.
Of course, it’s not a place that lives exclusively in the past. Tel Aviv is known as one of the world’s great beach party destinations while the Golan Heights offers adventure, wildlife sightings and views of rolling green hills. Don’t forget to check out Eilat – the resort town at the southern tip of the country where you can surf on the sea or sand dunes all year round.
