HAIFA & NAZARETH, ISRAEL – THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE
Israel’s easy-breezy Mediterranean city is an effortlessly cool place of beach worship and night-time revelry.

Arrive on Israel’s shores at Haifa which sits below Mount Carmel and is surrounded by elaborate places of worship as well as the Baha’i Hanging Gardens – a terraced green UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As you reach the bright lights of Tel Aviv you’ll find a relaxed energetic and youthful city waiting for you. Crowded with afternoon strollers joggers and beach revelers a walk along the Tayelet promenade – from Tel Aviv’s skyscrapers to Jaffa’s historic charm – is a fantastic introduction to this dynamic city. Jaffa’s watchtower is the perfect landmark to orientate around as the cobbled streets of the old town unravel and flea markets flog exotic goods.

Head to Neve Tzedek to explore the city’s oldest neighborhood which has been successfully rejuvenated and re-energized as an artsy warren. New and exciting restaurants open on a nightly basis all over Tel Aviv and you can enjoy street food and
Middle Eastern staples – like fresh Hummus and fluffy pitas stuffed with spiced falafels into a cosmopolitan city whose port served the entire Middle East. The climate is gentle the beaches beautiful and the locals friendly.

Israel’s “city on the hill” is divided into three main levels each crisscrossed by parks and gardens: the port down below Hadar a commercial area in the middle and Merkaz Carmel (known as “the Merkaz”) with the posher hotels and many restaurants on the crest of Mt. Carmel.

YARDENIT BAPTISMAL
Yardenit baptismal is the site where the Jordan River separates from the Sea of Galilee. Pilgrims from around the
world come here to perform baptismal ceremonies in this naturally scenic and symbolic setting.
