Highlights of Israel

Modern Tel Aviv, Hills of Haifa, Sea of Galilee, and Ancient Jerusalem on this Israel holiday

Israel, known as the Holy Land, is home to a plethora of ancient sites of spiritual significance, offering visitors the chance to delve into history in a tangible way. These sites sit side by side with the modern world, creating a perfect blend of old and new. This juxtaposition embodies what we love most about Israel; the diversity of experiences found in one small country is immense. From the skyscrapers of Tel Aviv to the crooked alleyways of Jerusalems’ Old City, from the foodie scene and lively nightlife of the capital to shrines, temples and biblical sites of the north, and from Mediterranean beaches to the endless deserts of the south, an Israel holiday seemingly has something for everyone. Discover the best of what this country has to offer on this 9-day journey.
