Results for Israel People

Getting ready for your family travels in the Middle East? You can take your kids to the beach, hike lush nature reserves, explore ancient grottoes, jump into cave pools, taste and smell the food at open-air markets, ride on camels in the desert, and much more. Israel has so much to offer, from ancient history, rich culture, nature reserves, and stunning desert landscapes to vibrant restaurants and cafes. In this guide to visiting Israel either with kids or without, here you will find all the important things you’ll want to know about Israel when planning your trip.

Tel Aviv is one of the most beautiful, diverse and cultural cities in the world. That's why I leave you ten places and a guide so you can discover the best and most typical Israeli dishes.

Jerusalem is basically a combination of three 300,000 person cities: the Arab city, the Orthodox Jewish city, and the new Jewish city. Most of Jerusalem's main tourist sites are in the Arab city (the Old City and its Holy Sites for instance). However, there are a few must see items in the new Jewish city. Yad V'Shem and the Israel Museum are probably the top two items. But to really get a glimpse of modern day life in Jerusalem's Jewish side, you must take a trip to Mechane Yehuda market - colloquially known as the Shuk. A cornucopia of food experiences, Mechane Yehuda is the place Israelis come to eat by day. At night the Shuk turns into a colorful array of murals and cafes serving beer and other drinks to lively patrons. While both experiences are worth having, this article focuses on where you should go during the day in the Shuk based on my time living in Jerusalem. At night, follow the crowds - they know the best hangout spots.

So you visited Jerusalem and were wowed by the shimmering Dome of the Rock. Perhaps you made a loop around Israel proper, but you know there’s a whole world to explore on the other side of the separation barrier and you’re curious. Is it safe? What locations are worth travelling to? To answer your first question, 95 percent of the West Bank is quite safe, especially during the day. While it is advisable to avoid refugee camps without a local guide, the Palestinian territories are quite safe if you are a foreigner. Sure the checkpoints are intimidating but they let you through really easily once they see your Israeli entry visa. Now that we cleared up the first question, let me give you a guide for the other one. After spending six months living in Jerusalem, I spent a lot of time exploring all of the great sites of the West Bank. Here are a few of my top picks.

The Middle East is a remarkable region. The cradle of civilization to the crossroads of East and West, the region has so much to offer. Unfortunately, instability and war makes travel to some countries like Iraq and Syria impossible and to others like Lebanon and Israel/Palestine challenging. In steps Jordan: the most stable country in the Middle East and maybe the safest country I've ever visited. I had the amazing opportunity to spend three months living in Amman and exploring all around the country. While Jordan may not be quite as culturally rich as its neighbors, there are a lot of amazing sights to explore. Petra's ancient facades speaks for themselves. The sandy dunes and alien-like rock formations of Wadi Rum is (literally) the movie image of Mars. The Dead Sea is a buoyant and beautiful place. And this only cracks the surface. This guide is an all-in-one-place guide to exploring Jordan and the wealth of exploring Jordan. This guide features listings from Amman, Jerash, the Dead Sea, sights on the Kings Highway (i.e. Madaba), Petra and Wadi Musa, Wadi Rum, and Aqaba. If you need a more hands on approach to a trip to Jordan, reach out to me! I offer planning services to craft the perfect Jordanian itinerary for you. So as the Jordanians would say, yalla!

Akko (also known as Acre in English and Akka in Arabic) is somehow overlooked by many tourists coming to Israel. It's one of the most historic and scenic towns in the whole country. The city embodies a melange of Arab and Jewish culture that is unique to Northern Israel. And the hummus is some of the best in the country. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Akko dates back almost 5,000 years prior as a Phoenician city on the coast. Today, Akko's character is most known as the predominatant stronghold of the Crusaders between 1100 and 1300. The city was briefly reconquered by Salah ad-Din (aka Saladin) before the Crusaders regained control during the Third Crusade - a control that lasted until 1291 when Akko was the last city to be conquered by the Muslim rulers. In later years, Akko served as a major port city. Napoleon attempted to conquer the city but failed miserably (this happening after his forces barely took control of Jaffa further south). In the 1890's, Akko became the home of Baha'u'llah, an imprisoned missionary who founded the Bahai faith. He spent his last days in Akko until his death; he is buried outside of the city (not open to the public) and the town remains a key pilgrimage site for those of the Bahai faith. Since the foundation of Israel (or the Nakba by Palestinian views) the town of Akko has become one of the most mixed cities in Israel, with 32 percent of the town being Arab (mostly in the old city). Much of your visit will allow you to see the various cultural fabrics that make up the beautiful city of Akko!

The Sinai seems like a scary place. There are lots of security checkpoints. There are rules on needing police escorts for certain parts. Travel advisories are up for large swaths of both the Northern and Southern Sinai. So let's avoid the Sinai right? Not so fast. Yes the Sinai has some weird rules and quirks in terms of getting around. However, the Sinai is an extremely unique area. Hiking, snorkeling, cultural activities, historical monuments, nightlife - you can expect to find all of these in the Sinai. It's a far cry from Cairo, Luxor, or Alexandria, maybe you could even say relaxing. And with a location adjacent to Eilat, Israel, and Aqaba, Jordan, it's a melange of Egyptian craziness with Levantine comfort. So how should you spend your time in the Sinai? Great question, and I'm here to answer that!
