Overview
Take a trip to Tel Aviv on your Israel Vacation
Located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline in central-west Israel is Tel Aviv, the country’s second most populous city. With the UN and many international communities refusing to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv is home to most foreign embassies. It is an interesting city which should be included in an Israel vacation
Tel Aviv was established on the outskirts of Jaffa, an ancient port city, in 1909. Settled by a Jewish community, Jewish immigration into Tel Aviv began to increase. The rapid growth that accompanied immigration meant that Tel Aviv outpaced Jaffa and its Arab majority. It was in this city that David Ben Gurion declared the independence of the State of Israel in 1948. Two years later, Tel Aviv and Jaffa were united into one municipality.
Tel Aviv is a truly exciting city that is different from any other destination both in Israel and the Middle East to be enjoyed on Tel Aviv tours

Turkey is a vast country and home to many diverse communities. Therefore, there are many local traditions that showcase their distinct origins. Among many, one fascinating event in Turkey that visitors should witness is the ceremony of Whirling Dervishes in Cappadocia.
Few places layer ancient civilizations quite like Turkey. From the ruins of Ephesus, the legendary city of Troy, and the underground cities of Cappadocia, to the Byzantine and Ottoman grandeur of Istanbul - it's a living museum. Walking through the Hagia Sophia or along the ancient walls of Constantinople is like stepping into a history book.
Turkish cuisine is seriously underrated globally. From a simple simit on the street to a full meze spread and a sizzling kebab, every meal is an experience. And of course, Turkish tea and baklava are daily rituals you don’t want to miss.
One hidden gem is the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. Sand dunes against the backdrop of the Rockies, with sand sledding, hiking, and amazing night skies.
