Israel is stitched in to history as the battleground of empires and the birthplace of religions. It's a place where visitors can immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of faiths, whether walking in Jesus' footsteps in Nazareth, exploring the synagogues of Kabbalah capital, Safed, or venturing to Jerusalem's Old City, where Judaism, Islam and Christianity meet. This tiny stretch of land occupies a kaleidoscope of landscapes, its vast and barren deserts contrasting with emerald-green valleys and snow-capped peaks. Combining sensitively written background information with up-to-date practical advice, Bradt's Israel guides you on a memoable journey through this Holy Land, from hilltop kibbutzim to glitzy Red Sea resorts.
