Our Top Pick for What to Do in February in Israel

In winter, the north of Israel is an incredible place to be. The rolling hills of the Galilee are green and inviting in the much-needed rainy season, which lasts from around November to early March. Even at this time of year, it’s still dry more days than it isn’t, so you’re likely to only reap the benefits of the weather at this time of year, with spectacular winter sunsets among clouds, and nature that’s bright and inviting. The best way to experience the beauty of Israel this February is on our 2 Day Northern Israel Tour: Caesarea, Akko, Galilee, Nazareth, and More. With an overnight stay in the idyllic city of Haifa, you’ll explore Israel’s northern coast, the Galilee, Akko, Caesarea, and Nazareth, the Arabic capital of Israel.
