Why Should You Visit Israel

Many people think of Israel as one of the religious capitals of the world, and they would be right, but Jerusalem is not the only city where tourists can find things to do within its borders. Consider Tel Aviv, a city which was meant to be another epicenter of religion, exploding into place with exciting nightlife, shopping, museums, specialty hotels, and much more.

Tel Aviv and the Immersive Tourist Experience

Tel Aviv is a city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea which uses its location and its rich history to curate an experience for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. An Israeli city which was founded in 1909, Tel Aviv is buzzing with activity. Hotels in Israel (Tel Aviv specifically) have adopted a model called the “boutique hotel” which means that they aim to provide a unique experience unlike the one you might get if you went to a more mainstream hotel. As a boutique shop possesses attractive individuality, so does the boutique hotel, which you can find all over in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Tel Aviv has been compared to New York in the way it teems with things to do and see, places to shop, and more. The other prominent feature of Tel Aviv is the recognizable “Bahaus” style of architecture which earned the city the title of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can stay in The White City in buildings which have been recognized for their unique touch of personality while grabbing local cuisine at a restaurant on the beach.

Miles of Beaches

Israel definitely earns the title of a coastal country, since it is surrounded on all sides by gorgeous bodies of water. Some people don’t realize the quality entertainment that lives on the outskirts of Israel’s borders, where Israel beach hotels are built to draw tourists in to enjoy what these coasts have to offer. You will not be short on things to do when staying at these locations, because many of them offer access to water sports, cultural dance lessons, and, of course, they’re nearby many shops and restaurants.

On a Silver Platter

The Israel luxury hotels each play to the strengths of their location (Tel Aviv hotels have views of the ocean, while Jerusalem hotels are a short distance to the Old City. Many of them weld together a historic, yet updated original design that will make both lovers of the contemporary and the ancient swoon with delight.

Iconic Jerusalem

Of course, it wouldn’t be a trip to Israel if you didn’t stop to admire the religious wonders Jerusalem has to offer. The Bible Lands Museum is a stop that must be made in discovering the holy land within Israel. There is fun for the whole family when Bible Lands hold their scavenger hunt for kids on Saturdays (and they are admitted for free!). The museum will also often hold lectures to educate tourists about what makes the city so notable in the world of religion. These lectures, included with the price of admission, bring the city alive and highlight the real human experience of Jerusalem. And, while you’re there, don’t forget to stop by the historic Old City! These are just a couple of the many places to visit in Jerusalem.
