Israel offers travelers access to some of the most historically significant sites in the world. In Jerusalem’s Old City, visitors can walk between the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock all within a short distance of one another. At Masada, the remains of an ancient fortress overlook the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea. Tourists often arrive at sunrise to hike or take a cable car to the top for a wide view across arid land and saltwater below.

In Tel Aviv, modern design and historical architecture are easy to find side by side. The city contains over 4,000 Bauhaus-style buildings built by German-Jewish architects in the 1930s, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the White City. Visitors often explore this area on foot, or stop by the Carmel Market and Sarona Market for street food, fresh produce, and local crafts. Museums, beaches, and bike paths round out the city’s offerings.
