Israel is much more than the traditional promised land in the Middle East. Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, the traveller discovers an unexpectedly fascinating destination. Only a few countries radiate this very special charm of a kind of magical attraction. Yet the contrasts between culture and modernity are impressively great. As a melting pot of the world religions, in the harmony of the generations, the Holy Land reveals an incredible diversity. The range is immense. From historical sites, breathtaking natural landscapes, legendary seas and beaches to pulsating metropolises. Above all the sights hover a grandiose flair and the open heartiness of a multicultural, open society.
