Overview:

Israel possesses a number of diverse regions, with landscapes varying between coast, mountain, valley and desert landscapes, with just about everything in between. Beyond the towns and cities, each region of Israel holds its own unique attractions. Israel is an exceptional country. The story of this land and its people is truly like nowhere else on earth.

Known by millions around the world as ‘the Holy Land' (together with areas of Jordan, Egypt and the Palestinian Territories), to three major world religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - as well as a vibrant modern history and culture, based in no small part on the diverse, mostly immigrant origins of its inhabitants from the Arab world and the Jewish Diaspora. These aspects make Israel a fascinating destination for many travellers and pilgrims.
