| The Golden City of Jerusalem |
| Jerusalem, Israel's capital, is a city filled with culture and history. Travel 5,000 years back in time in the old city, visit the city's many museums or simply tour the bustling markets: anywhere you look you'll find plenty of activities for all ages |
| |
| For thousands of years, Jerusalem has attracted visitors from all over the world. Four thousand years since it was founded, three thousand years after King David conquered it, two thousand years since Jesus walked its narrow passageways and fifty-six years since it became the State of Israel’s capital, Jerusalem is still an enchanting city, situated gloriously upon its mountainous throne merging daily life with spirituality |
| |
| Jerusalem laid the foundation for the development of monotheism, Judaism’s roots, and is the cradle of Christianity and an important center for Islam. The city has known times of abundance and prosperity as well as times of poverty, scarcity and war. However, even in difficult times, Jerusalem remained an impressive city as the holiest city in the world |
| |
| Since the unification of Jerusalem in the Six Day War, the city has developed beyond recognition. Once a city with its heart divided by a wall, Jerusalem has transformed into a thriving, bustling metropolis, a national hub and a unique religious center. Jerusalem’s motifs blend harmoniously, merging the past with the present, ancient with modern |
| |
| Bethlehem |
| Bethlehem is a city under Palestine authority, which is located in the west bank of the holy land.
It is located about 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem, standing at an elevation of about 760 meters above the sea. |
| |
| The city which considered being a center of tourism and culture by the Palestinians is a meaningful, special holy place for Christians.
That is due to the belief that it is the birthplace of Jesus of Nazareth.
It was the place where the birth of the Messiah happened, due to the gospels reports. |
| |
For the Jews the outskirt of the city holds a traditional site, with Rachel's tomb, which is important in Judaism.
It is also the birth place of the second king of Israel, David; and the place where he was anointed as king by Samuel the prophet |
| |
| The largest Palestinian Christian communities are living in the city and it is considered to be a home for these communities in the Middle East area |
| |
| The city has been under control of many conquerors; among them is Muhammad Ali of Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate on Palestine.
The Church of the Nativity has been built under the tradition of Jesus birthplace, and it is operating continuously in Bethlehem.
It is considered to be one of the oldest churches in the world that operate continuously |

| Haifa |
| Haifa, Israel's third largest city and northern capital is the heart of it all!

To the Northeast, across the sparkling waters of the harbor sits the medieval walled fortress city of Acre. Directly North, if the weather is good, beacon the heights of Rosh Hanikra, the white cliff, checkpoint on the Israel-Lebanon border. Further East towers the snow capped peak of Mount Hermon |

| Tiberias was built at about AD 20 by Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great on the site of the destroyed village of Rakkat, and it became the capital of his realm in Galilee |
| |
| Tiberias's name in the Roman Empire (and consequently the form most used in English) was its Greek form, an adaptation of the taw-suffixed Semitic form that preserved its feminine grammatical gender |
| |
| Nazareth |
| As the place where Jesus grew up, studied and lived most of his life, Nazareth has for two thousand years been closely identified with Christianity and has attracted hundreds of millions of pilgrims from around the world. Nazareth is also Israel’s largest Arab city and as such serves as a major cultural center. Over the past decade the historical Old City has been extensively renovated, preserving and restoring the architectural beauty and unique character of its narrow lanes and alleys |
| |
| The combination of these three elements - history, culture and architecture - assures the Old City of Nazareth a place among the most beautiful historical destinations in the world. We invite you to see, hear, savor and experience some of Nazareth’s secrets! |

| Caesarea |
| The city of Caesarea was built in the 22 century B.C., under the name of Caesar Augustus and was also the capital of Israel during the Roman and Crusader period.
The city, which built as a harbor city, has been governed under many different rulers, starting the Persian era through different Roman governors and even some Muslims rulers. |
| |
| In 1948, with the Israel Independence War, the city (that has become a village) was conquered by the Israel Military Force, when the village Muslim inhabitants were deported.

| Tel Aviv |

| The larger metropolitan area comprises a number of separate municipalities with around 2.2 million people living in the 14 km sprawl along the Mediterranean coast. Tel Aviv-Yafo itself has a population of 371,000. Making it the second largest city (in terms of population) in Israel. |
| |
| History of Tel Aviv |
| The official foundation of Tel Aviv dates from the ceremony of the lottery of plots of land, which took place on the second day of Passover 1909. But in fact Tel Aviv was established three years previously, in July 1906, at the convention of the Jews of Yafo held at Yeshurun Club. The participants complained about the terrible living conditions of Yafo's Jews, the poor sanitation and congested housing, the badly lit streets, and worst of all the "Muhram" decree which compelled Jews to change their dwelling annually. At the convention, Arieh Akiva Weiss, who had just arrived in the country, proposed the establishment of a new neighborhood outside Yafo. Weiss' idea was enthusiastically received and Yafo Agudat Bonei Batim (House-Builders Association), forerunner of Ahuzat Bait, was formed at once. It marked the beginning of Tel Aviv |
