Israel Information
Israel is a small
yet diverse Middle Eastern
country with a long coastline
on the eastern Mediterranean
Sea and a small window
on the Red Sea at the
Gulf of Eilat (Aqaba).
Israel is bordered by
Egypt and Gaza Strip to
the southwest, by Jordan
and the West Bank to the
east (with which it shares
a border along the Jordan
River and the Dead Sea),
and by Syria and Lebanon
to the north.
Although Israel was established
specifically for the Jewish
people, Israel is considered
a Holy Land (together
with areas of Jordan,
Egypt and the Palestinian
Territories), to four
major world religions
- Judaism, Christianity,
Islam and the Bah?'? Faith
- as well as a vibrant
modern history and culture,
based in no small part
on the diverse, mostly
immigrant origins of its
inhabitants from the Arab
world and the Jewish Diaspora.
These aspects make Israel
a fascinating (if sometimes
challenging) drawcard
for many travellers and
pilgrims.
Israel is a highly urbanized
and economically developed
society and is therefore
best divided for the traveller
into its main cities and
towns, followed by the
regions and other sites.
