Israel and Palestine
Everyone wants to go to the holy land. In Israel and Palestine , faith and history are all around you, from the plains of Armageddon (Megiddo) to the Sea of Galilee, from the Red Sea resort of Eilat to the snow-covered slopes of Mount Hermon. Where else can you pray where the patriarchs prayed, walk where Jesus walked, and see where Muhammed began a fabled celestial journey?
It's simply amazing: the Bible becomes your guidebook as you approach the Western Wall of Jerusalem's Temple, crowned by the magnificent Dome of the Rock; or stroll along the Via Dolorosa, now a path through a bustling bazaar, stopping for reflection at the Stations of the Cross. The hilltop city of Jerusalem is your base for day-trips to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus; Jericho, site of the famous Biblical battle, now a busy Arab town; the Dead Sea, where swimmers bob like corks in the mineral-rich waters; Massada, where a small band of Jewish zealots held off the armies of imperial Rome. Israel is much more than a place of pilgrimage, of course.
Its Mediterranean coast has long sandy beaches and bustling seaside resorts. The Red Sea is among divers' favorite destinations for its abundance of colorful underwater life. Archeological digs are active throughout the country in summer, turning up ever more ancient cities. Whatever your beliefs, Israel and Palestine are a must-see.
