• Considered to be the center point of Jewish identity, from cultural to spiritual, Jerusalem is also a holy city to the religions of Christianity and Islam. It stands as a point of diversity in a region that has been fought over, destroyed, and rebuilt multiple times. The Old City is a perfect example of this delicate dynamic. Here, the calls to prayers for all three Abrahamic religions resonate through the air of incense and ancient ideals. The Wailing Wall, also known as Kotel, is a central piece to the Jewish faith; and the traveler will witness the prayers of devotees in the ancient atmosphere. The Dome of the Rock is considered to be one of the oldest works of Islamic architecture. The tiled exterior and interior is complemented by the gold dome rising above, a fitting style for the place said to be where Mohammed ascended to heaven. Narrow alleyways wind through this walled off part of the city, leading to sites that could never be experienced elsewhere.

• In contrast to the ancient feel that Jerusalem offers, Tel Aviv is cosmopolitan. The central area of town is called the White City, containing the largest number of buildings in the Bauhaus architecture style. Beaches line the western edge of the city, blue Mediterranean waters meeting the white sands. These beaches vary in interest. Metzitzim Beach is family friendly with shallow waters. Hilton Dog Beach is where owners bring the dogs to roam and frolic. Gay Beach welcomes all but provides an environment for gay and queer people to express themselves how they wish. Gordon, Frishman, and Bograshov Beaches are popular spots with plenty of locals and travelers congregating for a good time. Beyond the beaches, Tel Aviv is known for its night life. Here, the parties are world renowned. There is a place for every traveler to drink and revel the night away – sometimes until the dawn.

• South of Jerusalem, in Palestine, is the historical birthplace of Jesus, Bethlehem. The city is a magnet for Christian pilgrims from all over the world. The top attraction here is the Church of the Nativity, which is one of the oldest churches in the world and built atop the cave said to have been the exact birthplace of Jesus. Another point of interest is the Mar Saba Monastery, a massive stone monastery cut into the side of a large hill.

With one foot in history and the other in the modern world, Israel is magical. That’s why Central Holidays wants to get the traveler to see the gorgeous mosques, grand churches, and stunning synagogues. From underground cisterns to beaches to narrow streets on ancient roads – there is no other place like this and will quickly form unforgettable memories.
