Israel for everyone

It’s not easy to make a list of places worth visiting in Israel. Personal preferences play a big role. The must-visit place for pilgrims is Jerusalem and Galilee; for diving – Eilat, for beach and vibrant life lovers – Tel Aviv.

123 Trip Tel Aviv – a friendly travel company – will organize a vacation and transfer in Israel in such a way so that you don’t waste a second of your precious time. We’ll offer such tours of Israel that include all the main sights. You can adapt the routes to your wishes: prolong your stay at the place you like most and exclude what you’re less interested in. Our guide will meet you at the Ben Gurion airport, and we’ll begin our journey along the planned route.

From Jerusalem to the Dead Sea

Jerusalem is a charming cosmopolitan city on the hills, a lovely place to relax, and the Holy Land. Must-visit places are:

• the Church of the Holy Sepulcher;
• the Wailing Wall;
• David's Citadel;
• the Old City;
• the Israel Museum, with an exceptional collection of ancient artifacts and works of art;
• colorful markets with delicatessen shops and cozy restaurants.

From Jerusalem, go down the lowest point on Earth – the Dead Sea. Dry desert landscape, mesmerizing panoramas, therapeutic mud, and eternal tranquility. Take a dip in very salty healing water, relieve stress, and spend a night in this area – at a hotel on a beach or a cozy kibbutz. This is a perfect place for rest without nightlife and loud entertainment. Take a cable car to the Masada fortress at dawn. The ancient fort is impressive, and the views are breathtaking. If your stay in Israel is one-week-long, one day is enough to swim in the Dead Sea and visit Masada. 

Eilat, heaven on earth

Divers and water sports fans choose a journey to the very south – to Eilat. The Red Sea, its flora and fauna, underwater caves, shipwrecks, coral reefs that are world's most colorful ones. Dive with dolphins, swim among a variety of colorful fish. To discover the exciting world of Eilat, spend at least one day there.

From Tel Aviv to the north

The most vibrant city of Israel that never sleeps! Sandy beaches stretch from the northern outskirts to Jaffa in the south. The long promenade is perfect for hiking or cycling against the backdrop of the impressive views of the Mediterranean Sea. There is an abundance of cafés, bars, and restaurants. Explore Old Jaffa and Neve Tzedek with narrow streets, quaint stone houses, galleries, boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. Spend one to three days in Tel Aviv.

Haifa’s regions extend from the Mediterranean coast to the top of the picturesque Mount Carmel with the terraces of the Bahai Gardens. They are well-maintained, perfectly symmetrical, with flowerbeds, fountains, and beautiful night lighting.

Go to Akko. The Old City is surrounded by massive walls, which border the sea. Here’s the spirit of history: old churches, mosques, knight's halls. Examine the bizarre counters of the Turkish market, stroll through narrow streets. Don't leave without tasting the fish dishes and delicious hummus at local restaurants.

During a well-planned trip with 123 Trip Tel Aviv, you can visit Haifa and Akko, spend a night in a hotel, and continue north, where there are:

• places that are iconic for Christian pilgrimage;
• Jordan River rafting;
• floating mountains, forests, streams, springs;
• nature reserves, caves, and beaches;
• the best locations for birdwatching.

To get to the most remote and beautiful corners of Israel, we highly recommended that you rent a 123 Trip Tel Aviv car with a driver. It saves time, provides comfort and freedom of movement. Don’t miss the opportunity to see more on an unforgettable week-long trip to Israel!
