The State of Israel (Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל ,Medinat Yisra'el; Arabic: دَوْلَةْ إِسْرَائِيل, Dawlat Isrā'īl) is a country in the Western Asian Levant, on the southeastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon on the north, Syria and Jordan on the east, and Egypt on the southwest.
The State of Israel was created in 1948. The population today is over seven million, with a Jewish majority. While it is home to both Jews and Arabs, it is the world's only Jewish state. Jerusalem is the capital city and seat of government. Israel is the only country in the Middle East considered to be a liberal democracy due to its broad array of political rights and civil liberties. Israel offers something to every type of traveller. You can find architecture dating back thousands of years, night clubs open 24 hours a day, a multicultural society, beaches, museums and art galleries and a people with an optimistic outlook on life unparalleled anywhere else in the world.

The next day, Cathy and I got up early to walk to Jaffa. When we got back, we took a walk through some of the parks of Tel Aviv and also through the main shopping area. It really felt like Europe, or even the US, but it was a neat experience all the same. We were shocked to see everything closing early until we realized that the 16th of April was a memembrance of the Holocaust day. Everything shuts down early the day before and is closed the morning of the memembrance....

Amman, Jordan -› Jerusalem, Israel -› ...
The great pyramids of Giza, the pink facades of Petra, the blue minarets of Istanbul, and the storybook walled cities of Jerusalem and Damascus are some of the highlights that lure travelers to the Middle East. If you make it to these postcard spots, you won’t go home disappointed.But there is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Jerusalem called Rahmo, where they serve the best kubbe soup this side of an Iraqi or Kurdish grandmother’s kitchen. And deep in the Western Desert, between the oasi...

I was excited to have some time to explore the creative side of Israel. The country is not often known for its art and artists, but the arts are definitely not in short supply. There are towns dedicated to the arts, museums and galleries focused on emerging local artists and public art everywhere. I spent an entire day wandering alone through the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. I only left so I could catch the last bus out of the city to a friend's house, otherwise I would have stayed until closing (...

Tel Aviv is a completely different city when it’s not resting for the Shabat. We should have retraced our entire route from yesterday, but we were too lazy for a six-hour walk. It was hot and humid! So we went back to Dizengof Center, where I lost Steve to a music store. I explored some of the shops in the mall but even though things were pretty cheap, nothing really struck me, and we both left the mall empty handed.From there we walked to Carmel Market. What a difference a day makes! This ...
