Israel can be a great balance between rich heritage and history, with a pinch of modernisation. The idea of taking a vacation in Israel has blossomed from being a political statement into a hip destination for world travellers.
The idea of exploring one of the most fascinating destinations in the world, and seizing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in the next chapter of history has got the world abuzz. In 2018, Israel will observe its 70th anniversary as a nation. With history that dates back more than 5,000 years, Israel as a destination offers the best of both worlds – old-world charm in Jerusalem, and the modern-age phenomenon that is Tel Aviv.
We pave our way through the destination with the journey unfolding at Jerusalem – one of the world’s most sacred cities, and a pilgrimage site for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.
JERSUSALEM
Ascend the Mount of Olives for spectacular views of the Old City and the Temple Mount. Ancient Jerusalem comes to life through the cobblestone streets of the Old City. Walk through it to the Western Wall as you learn about the history of this fascinating place. The light and sound show at the old quarters is highly recommended for lovers of history to get an insight on the background of the holy land. Exploring Jerusalem through the eyes of the locals, walk through the old quarters to get a sense of the daily workings of the various different quarters, and also to get a deep understanding of the adventures of their past. People may want to explore the city for different reasons which could either be from a spiritual or historic point of view.
