a botanical park built entirely
with the vegetation described
in the Sacred Scriptures. The
landscape and the suggestive
words of the guide make your

the joy of rest, devoted entirely
to the care of family affections.
It’s something precious and
special to experience.

however, is a must: All visitors to
Israel must hold a passport that
is valid for at least six months
from the date they are departing
the country.
Conclusion
