Israel Ancient biblical sites and cool coastal cities
Whether you want to sample Tel Aviv’s vibrant nightlife, try simple kibbutz living, or explore ancient Jerusalem, many cultural contrasts await you in Israel. We can plan your trip to see sacred monuments and contemporary museums. Let us take you to the Baha’i terraced gardens in Haifa and guide you to cafés for the best coffee and halva. Why not end the trip in a spa resort and soak (and float!) in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea?

Israel facts
Situated on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, Israel is a special place for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Druze and the Baha’i Faith. Although the modern state of Israel was only created in 1948, it is steeped in millennia of history. Yet, this country (with a young population) is also a big technology and biotech hub with many start-up businesses. Performing arts centres are to be found in towns and classical music is much appreciated by a diverse audience.
