Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,128 reviews
A unique Holy Land site known as the hometown of Mary Magdalene, located at the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The archaeological site features a complete first century town from the times of Jesus. It is one of Israel´s most recent archaeological discoveries with the best preserved synagogue in the Galilee. Complementary tours of the site are available upon request. The site also features "Duc in Altum" a place for worship and prayer. Magdala is known as a crossroads of Jewish and Christian History, and will soon also feature a guesthouse in opening mid-2018.

This is a special place. The small excavation site contextualises the role of Mary Magdalene in the life of Jesus and is complemented by the exquisite modern church nearby, its altar a boat which appears to be sailing on the Sea of Galilee outside the window, with its mast forming a cross above. It is surrounded in the atrium by eight vibrant pillars honouring women of faith. Fr Eamon Kelly is a warm and welcoming presence. We were invited into a private room at the end of our visit where he and volunteer Rosa led the singing of ‘Happy Birthday’ to our guide, Eyal Carmel. It was a delightful moment!

I have visited Acre several times, and always been taken to see the Jail but on this visit, we saw this quite unique Synagogue. Every surface, floors, walls and ceilings are in magnificent mosaic, showing scenes from the Old Testament and other day to day scenes. Well worth a visit.
3. Western Wall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11,159 reviews
The remains of the Second Temple of Jerusalem and a place of prayer sacred to the Jewish people.
Reviewed By PeterWJr46 - Poughkeepsie, United States
It was hard to believe that part of the temple that existed when Our Lord walked the earth, is still there. The West Wall is sacred to the Jewish faith and a testament to the life of Our Savior and His teaching in this very temple. The wall, itself, is divided by a separation for men and for women. It was interesting to see how this divide is so prevalent in this religious atmosphere. Security was ever present around the entrances and within the courtyard leading to the West Wall. It is a holy site and should be treated as such.
4. Eglise du Saint-Sepulcre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,791 reviews
Built in the fourth century over the site of a Roman Pagan temple, this is considered one of the world’s holiest shrines to Christians, preserving the most important moments of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Reviewed By BillPNo1 - Friendswood, United States
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of the most Holy and Sacred places in Jerusalem, or actually in all of Christendom! The Church of the Holy Sepulchre may be the most sacred places for anyone to visit in Jerusalem; although at times the lines of Pilgrims and crowds of reverent worshippers may be somewhat distracting, one cannot be in awe of what occurred there and what Our Lord suffered there. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre may be the single most important reason to visit the Holy Land and a visit there is certain to leave anyone with a hushed and powerful feeling for the sanctity of the place. I have been blessed to have been able to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on two occasions: each tome I was filled with inspiration and the feeling of awe for the sanctity of the Church. I hope I will be able to visit again, sometime, but feel that my life was changed by even my first two visits!

On a hot summer day we came to Nahal David. Right near the parking lot there is a pleasant walk that takes you to see some of the water falls. It took about an hour round trip. You can go into the water and cool off.

Stumbled across this and loved our time on the beach here exploring the 2000 year old aqueduct and splashing in the Mediterranean sea. Even in Winter the water was warm and our kids enjoyed a break from the touring to collect shells and splash in the water.

This is the paved beachside walkway which provides a 2km path between Tel Aviv and Jaffa.
Reviewed By stevenofedgware - Edgware, United Kingdom
the Tayelet , on the promenade has been revamped, with thye removal of the now defunct dolfinarium, which is near the Intercontinental hotel. New exercise equipment has been installed together with new sun shades , all over the beach areas. A great place to walk , or ride a bike ( plenty of bikes to hire) only be aware of the large number of battery scooters in use ( which are quite fast!) Beautiful beach and swimming facilities, which are well supervised by the lifeguards.

The old Jaffa port is a great place to wander around on a warm, sunny day. many of the streets have been nicely restored. There are lots of crowds and an energetic atmosphere.
