Israel's hidden gems

Israel is not a large country. You can drive from its northern border to its southern tip in less than 10 hours. From east to west it will take you less than two. But this small territory contains an unimaginable wealth of natural landscapes, historical treasures and a rich cultural heritage - many of which have yet to be explored.

For those wanting to venture off the beaten track, the Israel Government Tourist Office is launching Israel, Hidden Gems – a collection of fascinating journeys steeped in history and culture that will allow people to discover some of the country’s most inspirational and unexplored experiences. The thematic concepts are guaranteed to show Israel from a different perspective and allow holidaymakers to become truly involved in the country’s past, present and future.

From luxury hideaways, culinary trails and desert spas to archaeological wonders and ancient holy sites, Israel offers something for every traveller. In addition, Israel’s subtropical climate makes year-round outdoor travelling comfortable through the country’s varied geography to explore its people, places, landscapes and views. All this, coupled with a vibrant Mediterranean cultural heritage of nightlife, festivals and events make for a holiday experience unrivalled by any other destination.

Israel’s Hidden Gems will be detailed in a dedicated brochure that will be available to order on the IGTO thinkisrael.com website. The brochure outlines how the Gems can be experienced on their own as a one centre holiday or combined with several others to create a unique tailor-made break to Israel when planning trips with travel agents or tour operators.
