Go Israel:
Comprehensive guide to Israel; including special Christian and Jewish sections.
Jerusalem - al-Quds in Arabic - is Israel's largest city and has
been designated the country's capital.
This is not recognised by the United Nations and many countries
continue to maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv.
Jerusalem is also considered sacred by Jews, Christians and Muslims
but rather than live peacefully side by side some extremists want to call The
Holy Land their own.
Jerusalem
Mosaic:
Travel the city through the different periods, meet the people, taste the food, enjoy the
special costumes and visit the sites.
The Israel Museum:
Founded in 1965, the Israel Museum has achieved world class status with collections
ranging from prehistoric archaeology through contemporary art. Located on Ruppin Blvd.,
near the Knesset (Israeli Parliament), the Israel Museum is served by buses 9, 17 and
24/24a, and 99 run by the Egged Bus Cooperative.
Visit the sights, taste the typical foods, see the common costumes,
meet the prominent people, and drink from the water systems of the period and those that
follow.
Western Wall:
Live view of the Wailing Wall; refreshed every 60 seconds. If you've never been to Israel,
then we had better point out that the large area on the left is for men only, and the area
on the right is reserved for women. Do your meditation in the right place please.

military visits by all the major powers ebbing and flowing across the region.
Tel Aviv (Hill of Spring, in Hebrew) was established by Jewish
settlers in 1909, and grew rapidly during and after the Second World War as Jewish
immigrants escaped from Nazi Germany.

Tel Aviv Travel Tips
Israel in general - and Tel Aviv especially - is so much different
than what you may expect. Tel Aviv alone has more then 800 restaurants, cafes and bars.
The night scene and cultural scene is one of the best in the world and there's always
something to do. The weather is great even during the winter.
Tel Aviv has a rather small city centre, which you can divide into
five parts and spend a day/night in each of them. Newe Zedek, the oldest neighbourhood of
the city can be a great place to start.
Sent in by: Tel
Aviv City.
Many of Tel Aviv's residents are self-employed or work in shifts,
which is one of the reasons why you can find people on the streets almost any hour of the
day. The cafés and restaurant are always full, which might give the impression that in
Tel Aviv - no-one works! You can walk into a restaurant on Monday evening and it's packed!
Or walk down to the beach on a weekday only to discover many young Israelis catching some
sun. The motto is: "You live only once - so better make the most of it!"

Located on the Gulf of Aqaba, Eilat is Israel's southernmost city.
April to May is a good time to visit Eilat; before the sand gets
unbearably hot and swimming underwater is the only place to be.

This is the region in northern Israel, around Lake Tiberias.
Galilee has long been famous for the cultivation of olives and grapes,
and naturally there are plenty of fish restaurants in Tiberias.
Haifa's exquisite beaches are simply not to be missed, as well as
its numerous holy sights that are spread out around the city and the reconstructed German
Colony at the foot of Mount Carmel.
Haifa can be divided into three areas, according to their
topographical distribution: The Carmel region, on the upper reaches of Mount Carmel offers
stunning views; Hadar, with its varied and colourful architecture is lower down; and at
the foot of the Carmel is the glorious stretch of Haifa Beach and the area known as 'Down
Town' - where you'll find the authentic markets, churches, mosques and stone houses of the
Templar era.

The Haifa Tourist and Leisure Board is located at 48 Ben Gurion Avenue, Haifa.

Situated in lower Galilee, Nazareth is where Mary and Joseph lived
and it was the childhood home of Jesus - or so they say.
Nazareth is still a place of pilgrimage and contains many shrines
commemorating its biblical associations, some of them have been rebuilt after they were
destroyed by the Muslims during the Middle Ages.
The archangel Gabriel is said to have appeared to Mary at the church
of the Annunciation, and the church of St Joseph is traditionally the site of Joseph's
carpentry shop.
The Israeli railroads infrastructure has been upgraded
significantly in the past 10 years.
While until 1996 most of trains and railroads were bizarre collections
of British 'leftovers' from the mandatory occupation that lasted until 1948, nowadays
Israeli trains can take you almost anywhere in Israel and (almost) right on time.
