Its streets reflect thousands of years of history, religious diversity, and deep cultural traditions.

Its Bauhaus-style architecture has earned it UNESCO recognition, while its cafes and markets reflect a dynamic society.
Haifa

Haifa is an important port city in northern Israel, built between Mount Carmel and the Mediterranean Sea. Its landscape combines beaches, gardens, and neighborhoods that climb up the slopes. The terraced gardens of the Bahá'í Faith are its most recognizable image. Its port and cultural diversity make it a major commercial and industrial center.
Nazareth
Hab. 75,704
Nazareth is a city in northern Israel especially known for its significance in Christianity: according to tradition, Jesus grew up here. The Basilica of the Annunciation is one of its most prominent landmarks and attracts visitors from all over the world. Its markets, ancient streets, and religious buildings reflect a long history and a significant Arab community, mostly Palestinian.
Galilee and the Golan Heights
Galilee and the Golan Heights occupy northern Israel and feature landscapes of hills, fields, forests, and volcanic areas. The Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Tiberias, is one of its main natural features. The region is of great agricultural, historical, and religious importance, contrasting with the much more arid areas of the center and south of the country.
Jordan Valley
The Jordan Valley is part of a massive tectonic depression that crosses the Middle East. Along its course lies the Dead Sea, famous for its extreme salinity, which makes it easy to float. Its shores are among the lowest land elevations on the planet. The arid landscape, oases, and the Jordan River make this region an exceptional geographical space.
Negev Desert
The Negev Desert occupies a large part of southern Israel and offers a landscape of arid mountains, plateaus, canyons, and massive natural craters. Although rainfall is scarce, there are oases and ancient desert-adapted agricultural systems. Their landscapes show how people have learned to live in extreme conditions and allow visitors to discover the natural diversity of the Israeli territory.
