Things To Do:
Tel Aviv:
- Pool/Beach-Royal Beach is known for its amazing indoor/outdoor pool and Israel has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Make sure to take advantage!
- Shuk Ha’Carmel-An authentic Israel food market, that is home to the freshest local produce. The easiest way to enter the market is from where Allenby St meets King George and Sheinkin Streets.
- Sheinkin Street- Shenkin St. has been considered a local attraction for over 20 years, and one of the most popular Tel Aviv attractions. The street that epitomized the “Tel Aviv Spirit” and from which the most exciting mainstream and alternative music, theater and dance groups emerged during the 80s, has become more conservative in recent years, but still offers some of the best Tel Aviv stores and coffee shops.
Holon
- Design Museum Holon – Israel’s first museum dedicated to Design – harbours the dynamic play between a series of internal, box-like gallery spaces on different levels, and six ribbons of Cor-Ten steel. These both support and flow around them, and the circulation routes and outdoor public spaces they encompass.
Old Jaffa (Yafo):
The historic city of Yafo is filled with unique shops, restaurants and cafes as well as a flea market & views of the sea.
- Ha Tachna, (Train Station)- This restored train station is one of the hippest entertainment centers in Tel Aviv (coffee shops, stores, restaurants and, on Fridays, an organic market until 3 in the afternoon.
Address: 1 Koifman Street. Open daily (except Saturday)
- Neve Tzedek- An oasis in the heart of the bustling city of Tel Aviv. This is a great neighborhood to take a relaxing stroll and spend your afternoon. Shabazi Street is the main street through Neve Tzedek and like many of the other smaller side streets, is lined with quaint boutiques, galleries, artisan shops and amazing restaurants.
Jerusalem:
- Old City- Walk around the old city and take in all of its culture and beauty. The old city is home to many of Jerusalem’s most sought-after attractions, including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, temple mount as well as the Muslim Quarter, Jewish Quarter, Armenian Quarter and Christian Quarter-each exudes its own atmosphere, with religious sites, shops, and food offerings reflecting its respective heritage.
- Western Wall (Wailing Wall)- Historic wall of the second temple. If you have a chance, visit the rabbinical tunnels underneath the wall.
- Mahane Yehuda- Market in the old city.
- Israel Museum- Beautiful outdoor museum in Jerusalem (where Marc & Eden got engaged!)
- Yad Vashem- Holocaust Museum
- Mount of Olives- Holy burial ground for notable biblical figures and an amazing place to take in a breathtaking view of the old city.
- Church of the Holy Sepulchre- Historic church in the old city.
Masada & Dead Sea:
- Masada-Climb this historic fortress by foot or cable car and explore the iconic site in Jewish history, including King Herods Palace while overlooking the dead sea.
- Dead Sea-Make sure to take a day trip and float in the dead sea, in Israel which is 400 meters below sea level and the lowest point on earth. It is nestled among the rough Mountains terrene of the Judean Desert; it is an oasis of beauty, relaxation, calmness and excitement.
*We suggest for those of you planning to visit Masada & The Dead Sea that you go to both on the same day as they are located near each other.
