Israel Holidays - Magical land of culture and diversity
No other country as compact as Israel offers such depth of culture and geographic diversity as this remarkable Mediterranean country. Positioned where Europe meets the Middle East and Africa, Israel is a site of great significance for three world religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Israel is an excellent holiday destination for families, couples and groups wishing to explore some of the most important religious monuments. Fascinating landscapes also make Israel a unique holiday destination. Whether you choose to float on the mineral-rich Dead Sea, swim with Technicolor fish in the Red Sea, explore the dramatic Negev Desert, or take in the biblical lands around the River Jordan and Sea of Galilee, you will be astounded by the diversity of Israel. For sun worshippers, head to the beach resorts of the western Mediterranean coast, or the lively holiday haven of Eilat on the southern Red Sea.
