Israel's geography is very diverse, with
desert regions in the south and snow-capped mountains in the north. Israel is
located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, in Southwest Asia.1 Israel
borders Lebanon to the north (79 km border), Syria to the northeast (76 km
border), Jordan to the east (238 km of border) and Palestine (West Bank) (330 km
of border), to the southwest with Egypt (255 km of border) and to the west with
Palestine (Gaza Strip) (59 km of border). it meets the Mediterranean Sea which
makes up the majority of Israel's 273 km coastline. A small outlet (10 km) to
the Gulf of Eilat on the Red Sea exists in the south.
The water surface in Israel is found mainly in three places: the Sea of Galilee (164 km²), the Dead Sea (310 km²), and the Jordan River (length 320 km).

10. Monastery of San George from Coziba (Palestine):Although the Monastery of San Jorge de Coziba would not be among the places to see in Israel as it belongs to Palestine, we believe that if you take a car route through the country it is a must.
FOOD
Israeli cuisine consists of local dishes from the native people of Israel and dishes brought to Israel by Diaspora Jews. Since before the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and especially since the late 1970s, Israeli-Jewish fusion cuisine has been developing.
HUMMUS:
One of the first things you discover when you arrive in Tel Aviv is that you can eat delicious hummus almost anywhere.
Aspiring national dish, each restaurant offers its own version of this popular chickpea cream served with bread, olive oil and vegetables on top. In Jewish restaurants, in addition, a boiled egg is usually included in the dish.
SABICH:
One of the most delicious and curiously unknown street foods outside of Israel (at least in Spain).
It is a pita bread that is filled with fried aubergine and hard-boiled egg accompanied – according to each one's recipe – with tahini, hummus, salad, potato...
ISRAELI SALAD:
That's how simple the Israeli salad is – also known as the Arab salad, by the way – that ties in with the Mediterranean tradition of the area.
JACHNUN:
A dish made with an elongated and rolled wheat dough that is baked for many hours and accompanied by a hard-boiled egg and tomato sauce.

Another dish of Arab origin that has carved a niche for itself in Israeli gastronomy and is part of the usual menu of many brunches in the most modern places in Tel Aviv.A hearty lunch with a base of tomato, onion and garlic on which some eggs are cooked and then served in the pot or pan itself.

The bases of their belief are the same, since they all share the same origin.

Why we should visit it And My opinion personal
If you are thinking of going to Israel and discovering all the beauty that this country can give you, here are some recommendations that can help you. Keep in mind:
- What is the best time to travel to Israel?Although as in many destinations it could be said that any time is good for a trip to Israel, taking into account the weather and especially the places you want to visit, it is important to consider certain considerations. High season (July and August): Mid season (October and November and March to May): In our experience, this is the best time since the weather is mild, there are not so many people (except for Easter) and it is still a perfect time to get to know Tiberias. , Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea.Low season (December to February): Despite the fact that in some areas of the country the weather is cold, there are not many people and also the prices are usually quite tight, except for the key dates of Christmas and New Year's
- Security
- Country entry requirements
- Vaccines and travel insurance
- Money exchange:
Israel is a country that I want to visit, I have people I know who have been to that place and say that it is the most beautiful place they have seen in the whole world. I want to go with my family but the money you have to have is enough. I want to be inside the Jordan Sea to see the kilometers of the most touristic cities in the world. Israel, despite the fact that it has had political and economic conflicts with different countries, is the least inhabited of religious cultures since it only has three religions that are Christianity, Jewish and Islamic or also known as Muslim. I have always thought of doing a tour throughout Europe and Asia. If food is the richest since it is based on typical dishes from other places with their Jewish touch, they eat many dry and green things. For me, their culture has always been the same since they were in Egypt as slaves until today. The tourist place that I want to be is in Belen, it seems to me such a special place. One of the funniest dances is the Hora, it was performed accompanied by the clapping of the hands and the music in an ascending rhythm.
