and
races:
Arabs,
Bedouins,
Druzes,
Baha’is,
Muslims,
Christians,
and
a
range
of
secular
and
orthodox
Jews
with
roots
from
all
over
the
world.
This
melting
pot
has
a
unique
blend
of
tension
and
cooperation
making
it
surprisingly
stable
and
balanced
(most
of
the
time).
The
diverse
natural
Israeli
landscape
packed
in
a
small
land
and
fortunate
to
have
a
moderate
climate
(most
of
the
time)
make
the
country
an
attractive
place
for
hiking.
The
extensive
network
of
well-marked
trails
suits
all
levels
and
interests:
from
short,
one-hour
walks
to
long,
multi-day
hikes;
from
the
dense
green
forests
to
the
vast
open
desert;
and
from
the
strenuous
mountain
trails
to
the
casual
strolls
along
the
sandy
coastline.
The
short
distances
between
sites
make
the
drives
from
the
main
urban
centers
to
the hiking trails quick and easy.
If
you
are
looking
to
spend
your
time
in
the
city
scene,
Tel
Aviv
is
the
place
for
you.
This
vibrant
city
that
never
sleeps
has
a
wide
variety
of
restaurants,
cafes,
bars,
clubs,
and
wide
open
beaches,
as
well
as
museums,
galleries,
theaters,
and operas.
If
you
are
looking
to
spend
your
leisure
time
doing
absolutely
nothing,
in
luxury
or
simplicity,
you
can
escape
to
the
mountain
greenery,
the
coastal
sandy
beaches,
or
the
silent,
scenic
desert.
Alternatively,
take
my
offer
to
be
my
guest
and
travel with me.
Beginning
in
its
early
days,
the
Land
of
Israel
was
a
bridge
between
people
of
three
continents.
Israel
is
the
place
through
which
our
pre-historic
Homo
sapiens
ancestors
first
migrated
from
Africa
to
Europe
and
Asia,
and
where
people
of
other
lands
made
their
homes.
Here
is
where
armies
of
great
empires
crossed
the
area
to
defeat
their
enemies
on
different
continents.
For
thousands
of
years,
the
Land
of
Israel
witnessed
culture
clashes
between
civilizations
from
near
and
far,
including
the
Egyptians,
Canaanites,
Sea
Peoples
(mainly
the
Philistines),
ancient
Israelites,
Judahites,
Arameans,
Edomites,
Phoenicians,
Assyrians,
Babylonians,
Persians,
Hellenes,
Romans,
Byzantines,
early
Muslims,
Crusaders,
Mamelukes,
Ottomans,
British,
and
us,
the
Israelis,
in
a
revivals
of
our
Promised
Land.
All
these
civilizations
left
their
mark
on
this
land.
Israel
is
probably
the
most
excavated
place
on
Earth,
opening
a
window
into
the
past,
from
the
pre-historic
ages
and
over
thousands of years of history, until today.
Israel
is
the
birthplace
of
monotheism
and
a
source
of
tension
between
people
of
religions
that
each
claim
to
be
the
followers
of
the
true,
one-and-only
god.
The
coexistence
in
the
Holy
Land
of
people
with
different
theological
and
territorial
claims
and
the
diversity
of
ideas
and
beliefs
make
a
fascinating
mosaic
of
people
and
cultures.
In
today’s
modern
Israel,
you
can
find
vast
cultural
heterogeneity,
with
people
of
many
