Israel
With an incredibly deep history, religious relics and natural wonders like the Dead Sea, Israel is a complex and fascinating destination.
Start off in the capital Tel Aviv, a vibrant city boasting an incredible food scene, shopping, lively beaches and centuries-old architecture. It's also the perfect base for exploring Israel, as these day trips to places like Haifa, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Masada and the serene Ein Gedi Nature Reserve are easily accessible.
A must-do in Israel is enjoying a surreal float in the Dead Sea, and many choose to extend their Middle East adventures by heading to neighbouring Jordan, Lebanon or Palestine.
