APRIL FOOLS (this, we guess, is something of a dream!) The world’s first subterranean tours are launching soon from Jerusalem. Descending from the holiest city on Earth, these tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the land of Israel from beneath. Travelling in a special vehicle, through specially carved tunnels deep beneath the ground, the tours will whisk visitors around Israel to some of the country’s most famous sites. Launching in late 2012, there will be a special launch for a very limited number of participants. Make sure you are following Tourist Israel on Facebook or Twitter or by Email to get an exclusive invitation.
