Jerusalem is all history.

Tel Aviv is about modern


dining and café culture. And Haifa just does its own
thing. This lovely northern city's main highlight is the
Baha'i Gardens, which tumble down the hillside
towards the sea in a series of immaculate green
terraces. They're a must-do for all travelers here, but
Haifa's big attraction for many visitors is that it's the
perfect base to explore the north. Akko, Mount
Carmel, and Caesarea are right on the doorstep, and
even Nazareth and Megiddo could be easily done as a
day trip from here. Hands down the most easygoing
city in the country, Haifa should be part of everyone's
itinerary.
A picturesque vision of honey-colored stone, Jaffa is
a chilled-out little harbor town with an illustrious past
as a major port. Made for aimless wandering and
home to an excellent flea market, Jaffa provides an
old-world style respite from the modern thrum of Tel
Aviv next door. The muddle of lanes leading down to
the sea, where once the great ships of the ancient
Mediterranean empires docked, are now a haven for
café-hopping and lazy afternoon sightseeing. All who
visit succumb to its charms.
The lowest point on earth and one of the world's most
wacky natural wonders, the Dead Sea is the mineral-rich
and overly salty sea where no one can sink. Locked in by
the cliffs of the Great Rift Valley, this bizarre body of water
(where natural buoyancy occurs due to the rate of
evaporation causing the high salt content) has been
wowing travelers for centuries. Take a float - you can't
really sink - and you'll be won over as well.
Israel is the birthplace of the Jewish culture and its culture
encompasses the foundations of many Jewish cultural
characteristics, including philosophy, literature, poetry, art,
mythology, folklore, mysticism and festivals; as well as
Judaism, which was also fundamental to the creation of
Christianity and Islam.
