Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikivoyage or other free sources online. The state of Israel has a long coastline on the eastern Mediterranean Sea and very limited access to the Red Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba (often called the Gulf of Eilat in Israel). Israel is a small yet diverse Middle Eastern country bordered by Egypt and the Gaza Strip to the southwest, by the West Bank and Jordan to the east, and by Syria and Lebanon to the north. The appeal of Israel s ancient and holy past may be obvious enough but many new arrivals are surprised to see that it s much more than a lesson in history. While Jerusalem is a dazzling amalgam of past and present, and a contested hotbed for the world's monotheistic faiths, the whole country is a tightly packed ball of everything from Mt Masada and the Negev desert to the beaches of Eilat. This book offers information on Israel and its notable places.
