Marian's cultural tip

Israel is a dynamic and diverse country, steeped in history and biblical associations, yet modern and technologically advanced. Israelis often feel misunderstood and they love showing their country and its not inconsiderable achievements over less than seventy years of statehood to visitors. This guide is designed to help you find the country behind the clichés and the complexities. Come with an open mind and time to take in Israel’s rich cultural life, its historical sites, its sandy beaches, and wide range of cuisines and you will have an enjoyable and stimulating experience.
