What are the defining characteristics of Israel?
The country of Tecnosec
Sabra
Sabra describes the attitude of the Israelis: fast-paced, neurotic, always on the go, with no time to waste, demanding, impatient and driven by a desire for success.
Culture
Temple Mount
The Temple Mount is an important religious site in Jerusalem, revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims. It is a place of constant conflict due to conflicting religious and historical claims.
Architecture
Kibbutz
A kibbutz is an Israeli collective community that was traditionally based on agriculture. Kibbutzim began as utopian communities, combining socialism and Zionism.
Culture
Dead Sea
The Dead Sea, a salt lake situated between Israel and Jordan, is famous for its extremely high salinity and its location below sea level – the lowest point on Earth.
Nature
Biblical roots
The biblical roots can be found in the stories of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are regarded as the patriarchs of the Jewish people and their descendants.
History
Fusion
Israel, a cultural and culinary melting pot, blends Mediterranean, European and Middle Eastern influences that shape everything from art to food.

The file of Tecnosec tells us...
Israel
Official language(s): Hebrew
Currency: New Shekel
Government: Parliamentary republic
Main religion: Judaism
Demonym: Israeli, Hebrew
Jerusalem
Hab. 996,732
A living museum. Jerusalem is the spiritual centre of the three great monotheistic religions, and its temples and ruins are literally piled one on top of the other. In the course of a single afternoon, you can hear Christian bells ringing, the rhythmic chanting of Jews at the Western Wall, and the Muslim call to prayer.
Tel Aviv
Hab. 4,568,530
Tel Aviv, the ‘White City’, is bursting with energy. It is a global hub for tech start-ups, attracting talent and investment. Its golden beaches are perfect for relaxation and sports. Its vibrant culture, blending modernity with tradition, is evident in its art, cuisine and lively nightlife. A destination that leaves no one indifferent.
Haifa
Hab. 1,199,980
Haifa is the largest city in northern Israel. Haifa is significant because it is home to the country’s largest port, which has attracted a great deal of heavy industry, making it the region’s industrial hub.
Nazareth
Hab. 75,704
Nazareth, the birthplace of Jesus, is a melting pot of cultures and faiths. Here, Christianity, Islam and Judaism coexist. As the largest Arab city in Israel, it stands as a symbol of unity in the Holy Land, a testament to peace and understanding between the three major religions, all within the Jewish state.
Contrasts
In just a few hours’ drive, you can travel from the snow-capped peaks of Mount Hermon, high in the Golan Heights in the north, to the Negev Desert in the south. And on the way, you can pass through the fertile coastal plains where most of Israel’s population lives.
River Jordan
The River Jordan, as well as forming the border with Jordan and being one of the region’s few sources of water, is of particular geographical interest. The River Jordan rises on the slopes of Mount Hermon and flows down to the Sea of Galilee (freshwater and 206 m below sea level), before continuing through the Rift Valley to reach the Dead Sea (extremely salty and 400 m below sea level).
Palestine
157 of the 193 UN member states have recognised the existence of the State of Palestine. Among those that have not recognised it are major countries such as the US, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Italy and New Zealand. This legal limbo has created, and continues to create, tension and aggression in the region.
