Israel Hotels by HotelTravel.com
On the very eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea lies Israel, the home of the Holy Land. Bordering Lebanon to the north and Syria is northeast, Jordan to the east and Egypt southwest. A land offering everything to everyone, with a mixture of religions, Muslim, Christian, Druze, Samaritans and of course it is the world's only Jewish state.
Israel offers so much for the visitor, as Jerusalem is considered the birth place of modern religion as we know it. Culture here is unique in everyway, given that visiting some of the world's most important religious shrines can inspire and awe those that experience them. Although the history of the Holy Land dates back thousands of years, by no means is Israel out of touch with modern living in today's world.
Due to investments made by the people of Israel, Israel has become a popular tourist destination. Despite its ancient past, Israel's cities sparkle with modern buildings, gleaming high-rises, and excellent infrastructure. Toss in great dining, shopping and entertaining nightlife and you've got a fantastic holiday destination.
Whether you are here to heal your mind, body or soul, Israel will provide you with what you need. For the mind, you have many modern night clubs, shopping malls and great restaurants to keep you occupied throughout your trip. Other offerings are the mass of luxury spas and celebrated sea resorts, to relax and invigorate your body. The Holy land also has an abundance of religious sites to visit to help heal your soul.

Accommodation in Israel varies greatly from hotels to kibbutz and recreation villages. It is best to book months in advance for Israel's high season (usually July to August, though this varies according to region) and during religious holiday periods.
