Palestine and Israel territories are home to some of the most famous historical tourist attractions in the world and are often regarded as pilgrimage destinations. After all, this is the place where some major events of the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian faiths took place. But for travellers who don’t want to see inside churches, synagogues and mosques, there is more to do.
The Dead Sea is a strange natural wonder that you cannot drown. The natural beauty of the Galilee region is a landmark for those who wish to hike in nature. If you are looking for some dusty action, the rocky landscape of the Negev desert can be adventurous. Of course, the religious sites here will always be the main drawcards, but they will scratch below the surface and you will find more places.
Here is the list of top tourist attractions in Palestinian & Israel, you can check out:
Jerusalem has a long history and one of the most iconic vistas in the world. The golden helmet of the Dome of the Rock shines on the caramel-coloured stones of the Old City. This ancient city has profound religious significance for all the followers of Monotheism. The labyrinth of the old city is full of religious sites and amazing history. Avoid the crowds of pilgrims and stroll along the walls that still surround the old city. Explore the city’s fascinating museums and enter the labyrinth of paths where kings, crusaders and invaders fight for it. Jerusalem is equally fascinating and confusing.
Jerusalem
Jerusalem is history, Tel Aviv has developed around a modern cafe and restaurant culture. Haifa is doing its own thing. The highlight of this beautiful northern city is the Baha’i Gardens, a series of pristine green terraces with hills rolling towards the sea. This is a must-visit place for all tourists, but the great attraction of Haifa for many tourists is that it is an ideal base for exploring the north. Acre, Mount Carmel and Caesarea are nearby, even for day trips from here, even Nazareth and Megiddo Easy to complete. Recycling the most convenient city in the country, Haifa should be part of everyone’s itinerary.

Nazareth is forever linked to the story of Jesus in the Bible and is one of the country’s main pilgrimage destinations. For Christians, the holy land here is the most important place in the world.

Don’t miss the Church of the Annunciation and explore the lively market area, which adds a modern touch to the corners of the old city.

Jaffa is a magnificent view of honey-coloured stones, a cool town that used to be the splendour of the main port. Designed for aimless wanderlust, Jaffa is the home of a high-quality flea market, offering the old-world atmosphere of modern Tel Aviv playing next door. The mud from the path leading to the sea was where the powerful ships of the ancient Mediterranean Empire moored, and it is now a paradise for cafes and afternoon sightseeing. Everyone who visits succumbed to its magic.

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth and one of the peculiar natural wonders in the world. It is an ocean rich in minerals and extremely salty, and no one can drown. This particular body of water (which produces natural buoyancy due to high salt content due to high evaporation rate) is trapped by the slopes of the Great Rift Valley, which has fascinated travellers for centuries. Get on a buoy-you really won’t drown-you also win.
Dead Sea
Bethlehem is the main centre of Christian pilgrimage and is home to the Church of the Nativity, which was built above the place where Jesus Christ was born. The magnificent church buildings have far-reaching historical significance, and the bustling market vitality in the bazaar has made it a highlight of the West Bank. Although many travellers only come here from Jerusalem for day trips, the city is an ideal place for hiking in the surrounding countryside.

Located near the resort of Eilat on the Red Sea, Tamna Park (Tamna Park) enjoys the rugged desert scenery and is one of the most beautiful corners of the Negev. The scenery here has a deep quality that attracts all visitors, with cliffs and surreal rocks nestled among the vast multi-coloured sandy beaches. Timna’s copper mining history (dating back to the ancient Egyptians) is also worth exploring; the area is full of ancient mines and rock carvings that desert explorers can look for.

Make sure to swim in the sea and enjoy the lake view while hiking on the slopes.

The Masada Castle on the top of the hill overlooks the rugged landscape of the Dead Sea region. It has a beautiful view and a charming history. It was once the seat of Herod’s magnificent palace, and the zealots finally resisted the Roman legions. If you like hiking, the winding snake path is the perfect way to reach the top of the mountain and enjoy the beautiful panorama along the way. Otherwise, take the cable car and spare no effort to see the scenery.
Masada
Mar Saba Monastery is an architectural marvel of the Byzantine era. It stands on a cliff as if it were organically grown from pure rocks. Although female travellers cannot enter the monastery, the metal dome is shining in the sunlight between the rock surfaces, so enough scenery can be seen.
