Vacations in Israel

resources to travel Israel

Vacations in Israel lead into a small country, with a long coastline in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, that belongs to the Asian continent.

With a population of almost 8 million people it covers an area of 22,072 square km. However, small in size Israel has geographic features ranging from mountain and valleys to desert and coastal plain. The plain that follows the Mediterranean coast is home to seventy percent of the total population.

Borders are shared to the north with Lebanon and Syria, to the east by West Bank and Jordan and to the south west with Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

The nation was established to be homeland for Jewish people who immigrated from all over the world. They brought together their many cultures and their varying background of belief. With over three quarters of the population being Jews it is the only country that gyrates around the Hebrew calendar. Influences of Jewish holidays are reflected in school holidays and the nations rest day, the Sabbath. Imprints from Israelis with Arab roots are mainly noticeable in architecture and cuisine. Official languages are Hebrew and Arab.

Although young as a country, the land is intertwined with historic ties to all three monotheistic religions the Jews, Christians, and Moslems.
