5 Must See Places in Israel

The best laid travel plans can often go astray, that’s why it’s best to have an adequate travel insurance package arranged before you start your journey. In the Middle East, especially Israel, this is more the case than many other countries on earth. The old adage of hoping for the best but planning for the worst is the best advice you can receive.
This is not to say that you should exclude anywhere in the Middle East from your travel plans. Quite the contrary. There are so many places to see in Israel that will strike wonder into your heart that you will have no regrets whatsoever. In fact, many visitors discover that the ancient lands of the Middle East strangely draw them back for repeat visits that can last the rest of your life.

It is nearly impossible to single out individual destinations when planning a trip to Israel but here are five of the best to include on your itinerary.

  • Jerusalem is a natural starting point for any visit to Israel and it is a stunning city which many regard as the most fascinating in the world. Not only is it a destination with huge religious significance, but you will also find stark and intricate beauty at almost every turn. It is one of the ultimate pleasures of travel in the Middle East to simply wander the narrow walkways of the Old City where you are sure to discover sights you never dreamt of.
  • The Dead Sea is one of the more popular destinations and is worth a visit simply to go for a swim to see whether you can sink below the surface! The Dead Sea scrolls were discovered at the town of Qumran and you can see some wonderful displays at the Israel Museum.
  • Upper Galilee. In the north of the country adjacent to the Golan Heights you will find some spectacular national parks where you can enjoy long walks in stunning surroundings. Whilst you are in the area be sure to visit Nazareth, the childhood home of Jesus. You will find some wonderful remnants of the past as you wander through the streets, but don’t forget to visit the colourful market and try out some of the famous curd cheese pastries that will keep you going for many hours.
  • Akko or Acre, is a world Heritage rated city on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a small stone walled fortress which you can wander through without being bombarded by the usual tourist oriented paraphernalia. The beautiful stone houses still remain and you will find them still inhabited by artists and fishermen rather than having been converted into trendy cafes.
  • Haifa is located on the slopes of Mount Carmel, and you will enjoy a couple of days wandering around, especially around Christmas time when the famous Christmas festival occurs. This is Israel’s third-largest city and was once a trendy German colony but is now a home of the Baha’i Faith. You can visit the Shrine of the Bab, the tomb of the Baha’i prophet.

This short list should whet your appetite to extend your stay in Israel, or at the least stimulate you to think about including it in your next holiday plan. Don’t forget to organise a good travel insurance package before you start.

People ask you questions, drool over your photographs, beg you for recommendations on where to stay or eat or shop or hike… And it’s fun.

You enjoy being able to share travel experiences with your friends, and they love getting the inside scoop. And let’s face it; you love to prolong your vacation “high” by reliving it in stories, anecdotes, photographs and recommendations.

Accommodation in Edinburgh – Ideal for Everyone

Accommodation in Edinburgh – Ideal for Everyone

Locating your ideal accommodation in Edinburgh for the first time can indeed be challenging. Fortunately, with the help of the Internet, locating your ideal place of stay takes just a few clicks and a a little reading.
Accommodation in Edinburgh is well developed, which means that there is something for everyone. You just have to know where to look. What type of accommodation you use will depend very much on your purpose of visit. Some questions you must ask yourself include: are you there to study for a few months at a time? What is your length of stay? Or are you there simply just to take a hike at the rural areas?
For whatever the purpose, there is a wide range of accommodation options that will cater to your needs. If you are there on a business trip, and has some cash to spare, you may consider staying at one of the hotels. There are five star or budget hotels to choose from depending on your budget. If you are looking for convenience, then a hotel located within the city center will be most suitable. Otherwise, for a more passive and peaceful stay, you may choose a budget inn or hotel that is located on the outskirts of the city center.
Make location central to your choice of accommodation in Edinburgh. After all, regardless of the length of your stay, being close to the destinations that you will be visiting will save you an immense amount of time. With increased competition from rival hotels, inns, guesthouses and hostels, there are a large amount of accommodation offers available, so there is little need to worry about your budget.
If you intend to move around in Edinburgh, then all the more you should plan your accommodation wisely. Make your bookings early so that you can confirm your accommodation. Otherwise, you may find yourself having to travel out of the city just because there is no suitable accommodation available in the centre area. As Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, the city is busy all year round and private accommodation, such as apartments, are booked in minimum six month leases.
Remember, opting for the cheapest accommodation may not always be the best thing for you. Sometimes, you may have to compromise on other areas, such as service or facilities. If your primary goal is to save money and you do not mind compromising on other things, then perhaps you can decide base on price alone and book accommodation in one of the many hostels. Otherwise, it’s certainly wiser to check if the accommodation has the facilities that you want – such as a restaurant or gym.
Factor price, accessibility, and availability of facilities into your decision making process. There is a lot on offer in Edinburgh and you will definately find something that suits your needs but fits within your budget. Armed with a good plan, your stay in Edinburgh will be a most memorable one.
