Visiting Israel
Israel, established for the Jewish population following World War II, is considered part of the Holy Land, where the three major monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – all have historical ties. Israel is a fascinating place to visit for travelers and religious pilgrims. While Hebrew and Arabic are both official languages, most of the Israeli population speaks Hebrew. One of the most popular Israel travel destinations is Jerusalem, home to the Dome of the Rock and the Temple Mount. Old Jaffa, believed to be one of the oldest port cities in the world, is a beautiful place to visit. Another must-see in Israel is the Sea of Galilee, the birthplace of Christianity. While in Israel, don’t forget to try all the different types of food! One of the most popular foods in Israel is falafel, usually served inside a pita bread. Note: When dining in sit-in restaurants in Israel, leaving a tip is a must – usually 10-15 percent.
