Israel

Israel is a country where every stone has a backstory and every street corner feels like a chapter pulled straight from a history book. Sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, this small slice of land has seen more pilgrimages, power struggles, and peace treaties than almost anywhere on Earth. But beyond the ancient walls of Jerusalem and the echoes of history in Nazareth, Israel is also vibrantly modern—where Tel Aviv’s beaches buzz with life and the tech scene is one of the most advanced in the world. Add in the rich traditions of Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Ethiopian, and Mizrahi Jewish communities, along with the Arab and Druze populations, and you have a cultural mix that’s complex, dynamic, and always fascinating. And did we mention the food? You haven’t really lived until you’ve had a proper Israeli breakfast spread.
