5 Things You Can Only Do in Israel

There are several unique things to do in Israel, many of which wouldn’t be able to do anywhere else in the world. When planning your trip and planning what to do in Israel, our helpful guide outlines 5 things you can only do in Israel, from floating in the picturesque Dead Sea to visiting historic Jerusalem, and more.

The Dead Sea: The Lowest Place on Earth

The Dead Sea is the lowest place on Earth at 423 meters (1,388 ft) below sea level. It is a natural health resort that has attracted tourists who come to float its wonderful, salty waters. Today, the Dead Sea continues to attract visitors from around the world who either come for Dead Sea tours or stay at one of the many spa hotels at the Dead Sea.

Jerusalem: The Holiest Place on Earth

The Old City of Jerusalem has got to be the holiest place on earth. It contains important religious sites for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, all within touching distance of each other. Once tourists enter the walled city via one of its gates, they notice a change in the atmosphere. The Old City is a special place where local residents, religious Jews, Christian priests, and Arab traders, as well as thousands of tourists from around the world brush shoulders as they go about their business.

Tel Aviv: The Mediterranean ‘Capital of Cool’

There aren’t many, if any, cities in the world as vibrant, diverse, and exciting as Tel Aviv. Although not a huge city by global standards, Tel Aviv is, on the one hand, a beach resort with sandy beaches stretching along its western perimeter, and on the other hand, a commercial center with skyscrapers stretching along its eastern perimeter. In between is some of the most incredible architecture, culture, shows, nightlife, and atmosphere you will find anywhere in the world.

Walk Where the Biblical Stories Took Place

For first-time visitors, it’s only when they hit the open road and spot signs for Nazareth, Capernaum, or Masada that the realization truly dawns that they are in the land of the Bible. Towns and villages, familiar to Jews and Christians worldwide, aren’t just names from ancient texts. They are real, incredible places you can visit. From that moment you do, they’ll forever come to mind whenever those stories are told.
