Israel Travel Tips

By Travel Expert: Ben Sumner

Every traveler knows to go to Jerusalem, where you can tour the tunnels by the Western Wall, enjoy the view of the city along the ramparts, and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Tel Aviv is the country's modern cultural capital and commercial center, and is known for its openness as well as superlative nightlife.
Bathe in the therapeutic baths by the Dead Sea, rub mud over your body, and float in the saltwater at the lowest spot on Earth.
