5 of the Most Beautiful Places in Israel
I
srael is a beautiful country, there’s no denying that fact. With its diverse
landscapes and scenery, ranging from desert in the south to lush green hills
in the north, that beauty is incredibly varied, and whilst traveling in Israel you
are almost certain to, very often, gasp in awe at the beauty this land has to
offer. Here are five of the most beautiful places in Israel which you might like to
include when deciding what to do in Israel.
Hula Valley
The beautiful Hula Valley by Flavio Grynszpan
The Hula Valleyin the far north of Israel may
appear very different to the sandy desert that
many people consider Israel to be covered by,
but this spot, which is one of the most important
stop-off spots for migrating birds and as a result,
one of the best bird watching sites in the world,
was until recently a malarial swamp which was
drained and rehabilitated. Today, people visit
from around the world just to watch the birds,
although the tranquil outlook and peaceful
leisure activities make it a great place for all to
visit.
Ramon Crater
The Ramon Craterin theNegev Desertwas, for
centuries a wonder to those who lived in the
land. Thought to be the work of an asteroid
which collided with the earth and created a huge
crater-like landform (and a number of smaller
ones nearby), it is now known that the Ramon
Crater is actually the result of water erosion
when the desert was, thousands of years ago,
covered by oceans. With its incredible outlook,
and the unique climate and wildlife within the
crater itself, the Ramon Crater is definitely one
of the most beautiful places in Israel. Many
visitors to Israel miss the Negev but check our
Negev Tours for ideas about how to visit.
The Golden City of Jerusalem

Jerusalem, the ‘City of Gold’ is beautiful. Whether
you observe it from up close, walking through the
narrow streets of the Old City, or step back and
take in the panorama from one of the amazing
outlook spots such as the Haas Promenade,
theglisteningstone whichsymbolizesthis city,
considered so holy and important by so many
people, and the magical approach to the city
through the lush Jerusalem Hills make it one of
the most beautiful places to visit in Israel. There
are many ways to visit Jerusalem, but check out
