A country less than 70 years old, Israel has a history that goes back to more than a 1000 years ago. Though fraught with political strife, tourism contributes the largest share of income. With Mediterranean beaches, striking desert landscapes, outdoor activities, nature reserves, Biblical ruins, Crusader fortresses, WWII memorials and cosmopolitan cities, this Holy Land is a very tourist-friendly country. To get under the skin of Isreal, read anything by Amoz Oz, watch ‘Promises’ by Shapiro, Goldberg and Bolado and listen to Sarit Hadad’s ‘Let’s light a Candle Together’.
