Israel is a country located in the Middle – East side of Asia and is bouded by the Mediterranean Sea.

Also its heritage goes from ancient to modern cities, from religious icons to exciting nightlife. If a visitor wants to dive into archaeological sites or discover millenary cultures , Bethlem, Nazareth, Safed or Masada can be the ideal destination. Besides this, in case the traveller prefers a mix between culture and artistic heritage and the functionality of the modern city, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv can satisfy this preference.
