Packed full of sights and landmarks of unrivaled historic, cultural and religious significance, Israel has long been a favorite destination for religious and secular travelers alike. Anyone looking to come to this diverse country will find that making the most of the luxury hotels Israel has to offer will only enhance their stay.

Blessed with a wealth of luxury hotels Israel has something to offer every type of traveler, whether here to visit the many religious shrines in Jerusalem or to relax on the beach at Tel Aviv and the surrounding Mediterranean coast. For guests well versed in high class travel who are well used to luxury hotels Israel will not disappoint. The service here is provided by friendly locals who love to welcome visitors to their country and are only too keen to make them feel at home. Whilst many of the luxury hotels Israel has to offer also boast fantastic hotel restaurants and bars, guests should also find time to explore some local restaurants and taste some local delicacies.

Israeli cuisine is extremely rich and varied since it comprises all sorts of local dishes as well as those brought to the country by Jewish immigrants from all over the world. Since the 70s the result of this eclectic mix of world cuisine has been known as the Israeli fusion cuisine. It includes various styles of Jewish cooking, especially those associated with the Mizrahi, Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews as well as influences brought to the country from Jews who originated in Morocco, Iraq, Ethiopia, India and Iran. Like many other Mediterranean cuisines, it also includes well known favorites such as falafel, hummus, shakshouka and couscous.

Temperatures throughout Israel fluctuate significantly so it is vital to plan when to go according to where the visit or longest stay is planned. The higher, mountain areas are often cold and windy with Jerusalem, as well as the surrounding hills, receiving at least one snowfall every year. On the other hand, on the Mediterranean coast, cities such as Tel Aviv and Haifa have the type of climate expected of any Mediterranean resort with hot, dry summer months. The Southern Negev and the Arava areas, meanwhile, have a Desert climate with hardly any rain and the highest temperature ever recorded in Asia was observed in 1942 at Tirat Zvi kibbutz, situated in the valley of the river Jordan.

For those who are looking for sun and sea, the Israeli coast certainly has plenty to offer. Beaches run right along this coast, which is also home to 70% of the country's entire population. It includes the regions of Zebulun, Hof HaCarmel, the Sharon plain and the Plain of Judea. Throughout, sandy beaches make a perfect base for all types of beach activity. In Tel Aviv, beaches merge with a city of high financial and economic importance, for this is Israel's business city and hive of activity. It is well stocked with bars, cafes and restaurants and has been a prime tourist destination for many years. It has also established itself as a center of fashion and is home to a thriving gay scene more typically found in cities such as San Francisco or Sydney.

Of course Jerusalem is a must for many visitors, given its important status in three of the world's major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Amongst the most notable sights are the Western Wall, a surviving part of the original wall of the Second Temple and the Temple Mount. For Muslims, the al-Aqsa Mosque is an extremely sacred site. Whilst it is religious landmarks such as this that make Jerusalem renowned throughout the world, the city is also home to a vast array of cultural activities. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which were discovered mid way through the 20th century in the Qumran caves close to the Dead Sea, can be seen in the Israel Museum's 'Shrine of the Book' which is just one of several wings to this huge museum. As well as a Youth Wing and large collections of Judaica there are other archaeological displays and artistic displays and the museum attracts nearly one million visitors every single year. Yad Vashem, a memorial to the victims of The Holocaust, is also well worth a visit and is home to the world's biggest collection of information related to the Holocaust, containing over 100,000 books and articles in a state of the art museum.
