Israel Travel OverviewIsrael is a treat for travelers. The country has beautiful old cities; good beaches and plenty of culture; history and holy places... and really good food. Israel is bordered by Egypt in the south; Lebanon in the North and Jordan and Syria in the East. Jerusalem will be high on any list of favourite destinations and with good reason: in the old city there is a church or convent on every corner; there are beautiful mosques and many other holy places. Tel Aviv is the place to party. It has good beaches and excellent nightlife; probably the best to be found within a circle of a few thousand kilometers. The north of Israel is worth to explore: the Sea of Galilee; Nazareth ; the Golan Heights and the towns of Tiberias; Acre (aka Akko); and Haifa are the most important stops on your itinerary to the North. The south offers the enormous Negev desert and the Dead Sea. In the southernmost point of Israel; the beach resort of Eilat is a touristic hot spot. Located at the very bottom tip of Israel; this is a popular fun-in-the-sun vacation spot. Within the state of Israel you will find the Palestinian Authority which has some form of autonomy. Cities like Nablus ; Jenin ; Hebron (in arabic called al Khalil); Bethlehem and Ramallah are dealt with in the guide about the Palestinian Authority.
