Experience Israel
Israel is a country filled with history. It is the country where the first people of God reside. These people suffered a lot but they were also geniuses. Hitler hated them but he used them in the making of the Volks Wagen. Egyptians hated them but they used them in building the Pyramids. Currently most inventions have in their background, people who claim to have originated from Israel.
What is it about this country that people who live in it are geniuses? Well, you just have to see the famous places to visit in Israel. The first place that I think you should see is where the Crusaders left a mark. It is very visible across Israel’s landscape even though it has been close to a thousand years since they were last in Israel. There are very many Crusader attraction sites and more than a thousand places of crusader importance that have been positively identified. Remember the era of the crusaders? I am sure most of you have seen movies about them and wondered how you could get to know more about them. Well, Israel is the answer.
When you travel across Israel, you are bound to find places that have biblical significance. You can visit Aphek, Mt. Tabor and even the Valley of Elah. You can literally walk in the footsteps of David, Solomon and the giant Goliath. You can feel the breeze of the war between the Philistines and the Israelites. You can visit the place where the Israelites suffered their greatest defeat and the Ark of the Covenant was taken from them.
Another place you can visit is one of the bird observatories. Israel is known to have a number of bird species especially from the Biblical times. Remember the ravens that served Elijah in the forest or the birds that went into Noah’s ark? Yes…this is the place where you can witness all of them. You can even visit Israel’s newest National Park so that you see animals that you have never seen before as this country has unique animal species.
Israel is again quite known for wine production and considering Jesus time, they are known for wine changing. Here, there are 145 wineries. Some produce as little as 600 bottles while others can produce up to 13 million bottles annually. Boutique wineries are also on the rise. You can decide to visit one of these wineries and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed as there are a number of these wineries that offer wine tastings.
If you love buildings, you can visit Tel Aviv. It is the only city in the world that has a large collection of Bauhaus style buildings. Another interesting place to visit is the Judean Hills. It is a short ride from Jerusalem (a good site also). In these hills, you can encounter wonders such as Beit Shemesh, Beit Jamal, Ein Karem, and Sataf. There are many other places to visit, be it the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus was born and so on. All you need to do is get a plane to Israel.
