Israel Diversity

Israel is located in the Middle East, along the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt.

It lies at the junction of three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa.

What had amazed me, is the diversity of this country, in such a little place (in comparation with Spain or for example USA), you can find everything you look for:

Religious & Historical & Adventure & Nature & Archaeology & Diving & Food, and the amount of natural parks in such a little country that is incredible.

All in one

Itinerary of the 13 days

Yesterday on the beach I realised that a week ago I was swimming on the same sea, but on the other side lol, and also bathing on Dead and Red Sea. I love Travelling what can I say lol

In the General tips I will include the itinerary of our trip, so I do not forget anything.
