Have you arrived to the Holy Land for the first time and found yourself not knowing what to do or where to go? Worry not! Below you can find a few recommendations for the best, must-see attractions that Israel has to offer.
Tel Aviv:
Also known as the commercial heart and cultural hub of Israel, Tel Aviv offers amazing nightlife, wonderful beaches, exquisite restaurants, and even more! Tel Aviv is often described as a cosmopolitan city, for here you may find culture and religion, leisure and recreation, a meeting point for many cultures in the world. Tel Aviv is also known as one of the friendliest, most embracing cities for LGBT community in the world.
Masada:
Overlooking the Dead Sea, the mountain citadel of Masada offers not only spectacular views, but also rich culture. Masada tells us the story of 1000 occupants who decide to end their lives, as the alternative would have been a lifetime of slavery (as they were to be conquered by the Roman opposition). If you are feeling adventurous, you can walk up the Snake Path to the summit of Masada or you can simply use the cable car instead. Tourists can still find the remnants of the community that lived on the summit of the highland.
Yad Vashem:
First introduced in 1953, this place is known as the largest Holocaust museum and memorial in the globe. This place has innumerable exhibition halls, each and every one teaching us from a different angle and point in history. It is simply a place like no other and an incredible stopping point for anyone to see.
Caesarea Maritim:
Caesarea is amongst Israel’s most beautiful archaeological sites to see. Built more than 2,000 years ago by Herod the Great, this place has relics from the Crusader and Roman epochs, accompanied by incredible sea sights, and an ancient Roman theater that due to its great acoustics, now serves as the location of many concerts and events.
Bahá’í Gardens:
Located in Haifa, the The Baha’i gardens are undoubtedly the most gorgeous, breathtaking gardens in the globe and can be explored from nearly anywhere in the region. They serve as a memorial to the originator of the Baha’i Faith. Popularly known as the ‘hanging gardens’, they span along a wide staircase of 19 tablelands that extend up the northern slope of Mount Carmel. The gardens are also listed in the UNESCO World Heritage site.
