Wherever you travel in Israel, be it from north to south or from east to west, you will experience Israel’s rich cultural weave intertwined with thousands of years of history.
Imagine Israel at the turn of the 19th century. A population of approximately 60,000 Jewish people was spread out over Israel and most of their livelihood was obtained from farming.
The farming was mainly carried out in the Kibbutzim, the communal settlements. The Kibbutz members had it really tough as they had practically no farming equipment and even less knowhow. Kibbutz hotels package will allow you to hear from a kibbutz member about kibbutz life then and now. He will tell you and show you how the cows and sheep are fed and milked, about cheese and milk production and about vegetable farming. You will also hear about the methods used in organic farming.
Many ethnic groups have flooded into Israel throughout its history and each one has brought with it their customs, food, music and art. On this cultural tour of Israel all your senses will be stimulated and you will get to know all these wonders.
Where should we begin our tour in Israel?
Let’s start with sculpture parks, ceramic artists and jewelers, visit artists' villages, see Israeli artists' work in galleries, walk around international sculpture festivals and craft fairs, learn about Yemenite culture in the Ameka Village, hear about Ethiopian art, experience Druse hospitality, history and art, taste Circassian delicacies and watch the Israeli or Georgian folk dance troupes.
Let’s travel to Masada to experience the “Opera at Masada”. Imagine sitting on the top of Masada, listening to the beautiful music and voices and seeing the effects of the lighting and sound on the surrounding desert mountains.
If you are already at Masada, float in the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth and let the minerals do their job to revitalize you or enjoy a Spa treatment at one of the Dead Sea hotels and resorts.
All this would not be complete without a tour of the religious and cultural sites at each stop. From the millions of migrating birds in the Hula Valley, to the religious sites around the Sea of Galilee, to the Bahai Gardens in Haifa, to the Crusader fortresses in Acre and Caesarea, to the first Jewish neighborhood in Tel Aviv, to Old Jaffa, to Jerusalem with the Western Wall, the Mount of Olives, the Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Knesset, Yad Vashem and the Israel Museum.
Welcome to Israel!!
