Boasting dazzling cities, historic sites and incredible natural wonders, there are few more diverse destinations than Israel.
And there is no better way to explore than in the company of one of the expert guides who lead tours run by some of the biggest names in travel. Israel is roughly the size of Wales, so many of its key sites are within a few hours’ drive of each other – Jerusalem to Tel Aviv is just a 45-minute journey, for example. We take a look at five of the best itineraries for you to offer your clients, whether they want to see everything in one trip, or to focus on a particular theme or activity.
A good starting point is Cyplon Holidays’ seven-night Israel Highlights tour. Over six packed days, your clients travel from Masada and the Dead Sea to Jerusalem, then head to the Sea of
Galilee and the Crusader stronghold of Acre before finishing in stunning Tel Aviv. Accommodation includes two nights in Israel’s famed kibbutzim.
