Description
Israel is a country whose turbulent history stands alongside its rich cultural heritage and outstanding natural beauty. The spiritual centre of three world religions ??? Judaism, Christianity and Islam ??? this new Bradt guide provides in-depth detail on key religious sites of interest to pilgrims. Go scuba-diving in the seaside town of Eilat, visit the green valleys and mountains of the Golan Heights or float in the country's famous salt lake, the Dead Sea. Plenty of practical details on culture, language, local tours, flights and visas make the Bradt guide a comprehensive and up-to-date choice for visitors to this popular destination in the Middle East.
Reviews / Votes
'Bradt's new guidebook doesn't claim to offer an alternative 'roadmap' to Middle-East harmony but it does inform and will certainly enrich any visit to the world's most complex religio-political destination.' Travel MediaMore details
