Visit Haifa

Visit Jerusalem, a historic city sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Explore the Old City's Western Wall (a remnant of the Second Temple), walk the Via Dolorosa (the path Jesus is believed to have taken to his crucifixion), and see the Dome of the Rock (an iconic Islamic shrine with a golden dome). Discover the Israel Museum (home to the Dead Sea Scrolls) and Mahane Yehuda Market (a bustling spot for local food and culture).

Visit Tel Aviv, Israel's vibrant coastal city. Stroll along the 14km-long Tel Aviv Promenade (Tayelet) with Mediterranean views, explore the UNESCO-listed White City (over 4,000 Bauhaus buildings), browse the Carmel Market (Shuk HaCarmel) for fresh produce and street food, and relax at Gordon Beach (popular for swimming and beach volleyball).

Coral reefs on the Red Sea, the Underwater Observatory and the desert of Timna, at Israel's southern tip.

The Basilica of the Annunciation, the largest church in the Middle East, and an Arab old-town market.

A Crusader city under an Ottoman city: the Knights Halls, a Templar tunnel and hummus by the port.

Hot springs and the Sea of Galilee, 200 metres below sea level, with Capernaum along the shore.

Visit Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands. Cruise the UNESCO-listed canal ring (17th-century waterways with over 1,500 bridges), see masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, explore the Anne Frank House (historic hiding place during WWII), and wander the Jordaan district (picturesque streets with cafes and boutiques).

Visit Barcelona, capital of Catalonia in Spain. See the Sagrada Familia (Antoni Gaudí's unfinished basilica with intricate facades and towering spires), stroll down La Rambla (tree-lined pedestrian street with street performers and La Boqueria market), explore Park Güel (Gaudí's whimsical public park with mosaic-covered structures and city views), and admire the Gothic Quarter (medieval streets with the Barcelona Cathedral and Roman ruins).
