Moosester Offbeat Travel

There is no place on earth that compares to Israel.   From the views of snow covered Mount Hermon in the north, to the lush beauty of Galilee in the spring, to the Mediterranean beaches on the coastal plain, to the legendary Dead Sea and Judean Wilderness, to the awesome Negev, to the coral reefs of the Red Sea - experiencing the diversity of landscape in such a small area is memorable in itself.  But the scenery is just the surface of the appeal.  Israel and the land of Palestine have sat at the crossroads of Africa, Europe and Asia and the great civilizations of the ancient world: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome all came and left their mark on the land for us to still see today and they in turn took the influence of Israel with them.
