The Hula Valley, in north-eastern Israel, is considered to be one of the most important birdwatching sites in the Middle East. There are several hundreds of different bird species in an area of about 50 square kilometres. The more spectacular bird watching is probably in the autumn, when huge flocks of pelicans and cranes stop over in the valley during their migration to the south.
Nahal Ha'besor and Eshkol park located in the Negev Desert near Ofakim (also close to Sderot and Beer Sheba).You can enjoy the park with lovely views and places to relax or eat and also enjoy the Besor route , a 18km route with beautiful views and a nice bridge in the end.
It is a full-scale replica of a portable worship sanctuary built by Moses and his brothers-in-faith. They constructed the tabernacle on their journey from Sinai to the Promised Land according to the design given by God himself.It used to be dismantled for each next stage of the journey across the desert.The replica is the work of Dr. Randal Smith, a well-known Bible teacher, and his team. Opened in 2000, it has been fullfilling its educational aims since then.I think that the selection of the site - amidst the desert, with merciless sun above you, makes the visit even more memorable.The guide shows you around and explains the function of various objects - first on a kind of yard outside the tent and then leads you inside. Here you can see a menorah, the altar of incense and the table of shewbread. The 'most holy place', where the Holy Ark was kept, is hidden behind the curtain divider....
One of the many crusader fortresses in Israel. Montfort fortress is lcoated in a beautiful part of the upper Galilee mountains. Not far from the town of Maalot.
Israel is a busy place to travel around and opportunities for real peace and quiet are not common (although they do come in some unexpected places!). If you are driving south of Haifa you might wish to look in on Ramat Hanadiv. The centre is a lovely garden with plenty of places to relax and surrounding it some nice walks in a nature reserve.
On our way to Jericho we stopped in the middle of nowhere and reluctantly got off the cool air-conditioned bus into the scorching heat. Our tour-leader promised us a surprise if we climb up a few metres. And indeed, the view we had from the top was breathtaking. Amidst the rocks, practically carved out in them, was a monastery. No pictures or words can depict the uniqueness of the place. The building is the monastery of Saint George. It was built near the cave where Elijah stopped on his way to Jerusalem.There are walking trails leading through the valley of the Wadi Qelt. This is one of the places I would love to come back to, so perhaps next time when in Israel I'll go hiking there.
En Hod is a small village very close to Caesarea and Zichron Yaakov.This is an artists village with many statues everywhere , beautiful houses , small and narrow streets and beautiful view to the Mediterranean Sea.
Nahal taninim (The english meaning is alligators stream) is a nice and peaceful place north to Caesarea and 10-15 minutes driving from there.Although the name of the place is alligators stream the last alligator was seen here in 1907.You should pay something like 18 nis to enter the place and a visit is between 1-2 hours.
Achziv beaches are known as one of the best in Israel... yes all though not al of the area is sandy its still quite a peaceful and very beautiful area.The beauty of the rocks and the torquize water is amazing.Achziv is Located in the north of Israel on the road that leads from Akko to Rosh Hanikra (which is the northern coastal point if Israel).In this photo you can also see Rosh Hanikra and some of the border's equipment on the rock.
Mount Bental is situated in the north east of Israel almost near the border with Sirya.It used to be under Syria territory until the war in 1967 when all the Golan area turned to be an Israeli territory.The View from the mountain is amazing, On one side you can watch all over its northern side and see some druze vilages as well as mount Hermon. if you look down you can see Kibutz Merom Golan and if you look east... just down the mountain you will be watching Syria ! its pretty amazing. On the mountain it self there are a remains of the Israeli (underground) Bunker from the wars time and you can see how things were at those days and how sensitive all this area is ....I really recommend you to visit there, personaly i always like going there but i also know that tourist whom arrives there always get a different point of view of the situation there ...
