There are few countries where nearly every mountain, road, city and river has historical or religious significance as they do in Israel.
For 4,000 years, the land of Israel has been the focus of travelers. Indeed, Israel is often considered "the world's first tourist destination." For forty centuries, pilgrims, travelers and tourists have been coming to Israel for the experience of a lifetime.

In Israel - Geography is History.

Situated at the crossroad of 3 continents, and passed by all the great trade routes of the ancient world, it was inavitable that this tiny sliver of the land of Israel, should play a dramatic role in world history. Its physical location, combined with the belief of thre great religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - that Israel was their spiritual home, has inspired 4,000 years of struggle over the land of milk and honey. Whether it be the land where King David and Jesus lived, or the modern time battlefieldswhich have made it the focus of more attention than any country in the world.

Nowadays, some 2 million tourists come to Israel every year—discovering a country that is both ancient and ultra-modern, biblical and high-tech, uncomplicated and sophisticated, holy and secular. Israel is a land where spiritual adventures beyond compare can be combined with a world-class Mediterranean vacation.

Interest in travel to Israel continues to soar, in part because the great events that have shaped civilization and the three monotheistic religions all happened here in this small country. Certainly, no other place on earth belongs to the new millennium as Israel. Whether you are coming to Israel for the vacation of your dreams, or in search of your religious heritage, the country has much to offer.

Jerusalem
"I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord!" Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!  Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together, to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as we decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of  the Lord ".                                                                    - Psalm 122:1-4
