Israel
As the center of the Jewish faith, Christianity, and Islam, Israel is constantly bustling with visitors and pilgrims. While these religious sites are important, they are far from the only things to do. From enjoying the waters around the Mediterranean, Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee, to discovering the ever growing cities, Israel has much more to offer than just it's past.
