There are few countries in the world that have more historical significance
than Israel.

It is, first and foremost, the Holy Land. Roman Temples, biblical synagogues and underground cities are found literally everywhere in Israel. What further makes Israel unique is the presence of these landmarks and historic relics. Often, as modern buildings are planned, the remnants of ancient ones are found underground. When this happens, all building stops and whatever is found is carefully preserved. It is this dedication that ensures that Israel’s rich history is preserved for generations to come—the true definition of sustainability.

In a country roughly the geographical size of New Jersey, Israel boasts more than its fair share of protected historical sites, including seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites:

• the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls

• the Bauhaus “White City of Tel Aviv

• the Ba’hai Holy Places in Haifa and the Western Galilee

• the Old City of Acre (Akko)

• the historic fortress of Masada

• the Biblical Tels of Megiddo, Hazor and Beer Sheba

• the Incense Route – Desert Cities in the Negev.
