The cosmopolitan delight of Tel Aviv, the historical intrigue of Caesura and Masada, the mysterious Dead Sea, and the sheer awe of Jerusalem are just some of the captivating wonders to be discovered in Israel, “The Land of Milk and Honey.” Few countries hold the history, the complexity, and the intrigue of Israel and all will be revealed on The Evolved Traveler’s 13-day, “Israel: The Mysteries and Marvels.”
Destination Overview
Start in lively Tel Aviv, Israel’s modern and diverse heart, before continuing to Caesarea’s dramatic Roman ruins. The juxtaposition of old and new is common in Israel, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the city of Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is the financial, technological, and economic hub of Israel. Visitors spend time marveling at the plethora of contemporary art galleries, engaging in retail therapy at artisan boutiques, or relaxing in the sun on one of the blissfully balmy, Mediterranean beaches before heading to the city’s many restaurants, bars, and exclusive nightclubs after dark.
Your journey will further take you from the biblical sites of Northern Israel and Sea of Galilee to the hallowed Judaic ground at the Mount of Olives. Aside from its historical monuments, Tiberias is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing summer holiday with numerous leisure activities and watersports on offer. The new city’s downtown area is a vibrant commercial center complete with various restaurants, pubs, souvenir shops, bustling bazaars, and live music venues. Take a horse-drawn carriage around town, rent a bicycle, and spend the day exploring the gorgeous beaches and natural springs dotted along the shoreline.
And finally, three days in wondrous Jerusalem, one of the world’s most ancient and revered jewels.
Jerusalem holds high significance for three major religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and, as a result, offers a multitude of historical attractions to interest both pilgrims and secular tourists. With its narrow cobble-stoned alleyways, beautiful bell towers, and charming hidden courtyards, the walled Old City is the epicenter of Jerusalem. Despite its small size, the Old City is home to a plethora of ancient sacred sites. These include the Garden of Gethsemane; the Western Wall; and the Dome of the Rock from which Muhammad is said to have ascended to heaven. Step out of the Old City, and you will find yourself thrust back into the twenty-first century. All of these historical sites contrast to make Jerusalem a fascinating and inspiring travel destination.
