Jerusalem (Hebrew: ירושלים Yerushalayim, Arabic: القدس al-Quds ) is the capital and largest city of Israel, though most other countries and the United Nations do not recognize it as Israel's capital.

Tel Aviv (Hebrew: תל אביב, Arabic: تل أبيب) is the second largest city in Israel (after Jerusalem), and the largest metropolitan area. It is on the Mediterranean coast, about 60 km northwest of Jerusalem and 100 km south of Haifa. The official name is Tel Aviv-Yafo (תל אביב-יפו), and reflects the fact that the city has grown beside (and absorbed) the ancient port city of Yafo (English: Jaffa, Arabic: يافا Yafa ), to the south of the new city center. Tel Aviv is home to most embassies in Israel.

Haifa (Hebrew חֵיפָה Heifa ; Arabic حَيْفَا Ḥayfā ) is the third largest city in Israel and the largest city in the north of the country with a population close to 300,000. The city is located on Israel's Mediterranean shoreline, on Mount Carmel and at its foot. Haifa is an important transportation, industrial and cultural center and one of Israel's most important maritime trade centers.


Nazareth (Arabic الناصرة an-Nāṣirah, Hebrew נצרת Nasarat ) is a city in northern Israel. It is the largest Arab city in Israel proper, having a population of 60,000, a harmonious mix of Muslims (70%) and Christians (about 30%).





The Dead Sea region is a unique and fascinating destination located between Jordan and Israel. The Dead Sea itself is a saltwater lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel to the west. It is famously known as the lowest point on Earth, sitting at about 430 meters below sea level. The high salt concentration in the water makes it impossible for most organisms to survive, hence the name "Dead Sea." The high salt and mineral content also give the water buoyancy, allowing swimmers to effortlessly float on its surface.




Netanya (also נְתַנְיָה, and mistakenly "Natanya") is a city in Israel. Many tourists come to visit its beach. : P70 : P8
