IsraelTravelers have been coming to the land of Israel to be inspired, refreshed, and renewed.
It is an enriching experience and home to many sacred and religious sites. Jerusalem, the Holy
City, has been revered for centuries by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Haifa, home to the world
headquarters of the Bahai religion boasts a majestic shrine atop Mt. Carmel. Safed, home to the
mystical/spiritual part of Judaism (kabbalah) with its winding cobblestone streets and ancient
graves of holy men, will amaze. Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, with its peaceful churches and the
holy city of Nazareth, both reminders of Jesus’ life and ministry. Israel is for everyone —young,
old, singles, couples and families. It is the land of all people, an exhilarating blend of ancient and
contemporary that you will never forget.
