Israel is a beautiful country and a great place to visit. The country has marvelous old cities, good beaches and plenty of culture, history and holy places... and really good food. Israel is bordered by Egypt in the south, Lebanon in the North and Jordan and Syria in the East. Jerusalem will be high on any list of favourite destinations and with good reason: in the old city there are many places of worship and other holy places. Be sure to go to Mount Scopus (the original campus location for Hebrew University) and get an incredible view of the Old City. While there, go to the other side of the university campus (near the amphitheater) and look out over the Judean Desert towards Jordan. On good visibility days you can see the Dead Sea in the distance and the Moab mountains of Jordan just beyond. Other sights include the Israel Museum housing artifacts dating back to the time of the Essianns. Documents from this find led to the book of the Essiah and the Revelations,Isaiah Script and the Temple Scroll. As well as the scrolls there is an interesting overview model of the city as it would have looked at the time of David.
