Late this Sunday night, I’m going to leave for a week to travel – and blog – through Israel. It’s my first time visiting both the country and the region, so while I’m eagerly anticipating my arrival, I’m also cramming a bit for my stay. So I thought I’d open things up to the blogosphere. What are the things that I should not miss? I’ll be spending time in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel Aviv, and while my time is heavily scheduled, there will be opportunities for me to wander. Tell me where I should go.

To keep track of my travels here all next week, by bookmark this link: Blogging Through Israel.

    Eat lots of hummous! Visit Akko if you can–an under-rated crusader’s town in the north. And def. go swimming in the Sea of Galilee.

    Galilea is beautiful for me. Wonderful heritages and landscapes.

    Don’t miss Judea desert and Dead sea, and take a 4×4 trip in the Negev, especially north to Eilat. And bring your swim suit, it’s a must. If you want more details and suggestion email me.

    I just came back from a Classical Israel Tour which included Tel Aviv, Cesarea, Nazareth, Meggido, Sea of Galilee and Tiberius, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea and Massada. The tour included 12 others in our group and it was truly economical and a great value. Our excellent tour operator was Israel Tourism Consultants, for any Israel Tours I recommend them: http://www.israeltourismconsultants.com

    Definitely explore the food scene in Jerusalem – delish! I went four years ago and was there for Shabbat. We went to the markets and sampled some of the most amazing things. You will want to see the markets – one of the best things to do in Israel by far. Have fun!!!
