Constructed from a mosaic of different quarters, each with a strong identity, Jerusalem also houses the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock: three holy monuments for each of the three monotheistic religions.

Shalom and welcome to Israël! Did you imagine lands dating back to the time of Moses? Israël has become a very modern country, with overwhelming technological advances: the GDP per capita of this tiny country is just behind the UK on a global scale! To come to Israël, is to immerse yourself in a land where legend and reality are intimately linked. From the little streets in Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives,, from the fortress of Massada, in Sinaï, to the wailing wall in Tel Aviv; there isn’t one place that hasn’t been mentioned in a historical text... and it’s for the best! However, Israël, isn’t only about that: the coastal resort of Eilat, the shores of the Dead Sea or even the long walks in the desert are all options for excursions, walks and adventures, just waiting to be lived. Why not also try and visit Palestine, where you will be welcomed by a proud and warm populace, always happy to share their history and amazing heritage, built up over thousands of years by different cultures who have resided there. So don’t be intimidated and go and explore this unknown land, to discover, day after day, the thousand and one facets of an extraordinary destination!

Mitzpe Ramon is the town that overlooks the incredible crater of Makhtesh Ramon. For a few years some unusual hotels have been opening in this little town. It's a good place to stay to explore the crater.

Ceasarea is an archaeological site which contains ruins from the Greek, Roman and Crusading eras in the same place. So you can see how important it is! When I went there I wasn't expecting it to be so large and so rich. And in addition, Ceasarea has the only underwater museum in the world. You can visit the town's underwater ruins by diving on them which is an incredible experience. Besides the national park which contains most of the ruins, there are also some beautiful mosaics and a Roman aqueduct. Therefore, it's better to go to Ceasarea by car because then you can reach everything there is to be seen. During the high season, a little van selling food puts out tables and chairs on the sand of the beach. During my <a href="/israel/">trips to Israel</a>, I love eating breakfast overlooking the sea before going to visit the archaeological site or going swimming.
