Trust us, this is the place you should allot the most time to in Israel. Unlike a lot of other large cities around the world, where you’d want to get in and get out as fast as possible, Tel Aviv is probably the most exciting place in Israel. It’s vibrant and diverse, extremely progressive, a busy prosperous city with beach town vibes and amazing weather year-round, some of the best food in the world, and so much history and culture all in one place. It’s enough to see some areas of Israel once, but Tel Aviv is a place you’d want to come back to again and again and uncover new layers every time.
If you have around 10 days in Israel, we recommend spending at least 2 or 3 days in Tel Aviv. But if you have a little more time and are not sure which location to add a couple days to, Tel Aviv is the best choice. Honestly, if you just want to relax by the beach and have a nice laid-back vacation, you could also spend a full week here and not be bored. Once you feel the vibe of this city, you’ll just never get enough.
Isreal sounds like a fantastic destination with so much natural beauty to offer – I hope to go one day, thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Tanja! Hope you visit soon, I loved it so much <3
After seeing you guys photos no wonder God says Israel is the apple of his eye!! Great job capturing the feel of the place! Beautiful! I will definitely use this when we travel, thanks!
Hello Katerina,
a really lovely Post =) I think in my time in Israel I also enjoyed most of the things you mentioned here and would recommend them aswell. I also did the camel ride in Eilat =D
Did you go and see the dolfins and the Red Canyon? I wrote about it in one of my blogpost (but it’s in german).
Best wishes,

Came across this article while researching for my jordan and isreal trip! have to say one of the best and comprehensive guides i have came across! such a good basis for me to start my research ^^ thank you so much! And amazing photos as well~
wondering if i want to visit the dead sea, do u think it’s the same going from jordan side versus from isreal side?
Author
Thank you 🙂
I’m not sure about the Jordan side as we’ve never been there. I know for sure that the hotels on the Jordan side are less expensive but I also think the beaches might be a little less picturesque. The most beautiful photos I see around are usually on the Israeli side. But I would do some more research on this if it’s important to you.

Hello Katerina,
It’s an inspiring blog to go to Israel, we’re considering to go there in autumn and travel around in a week. Do you know if it is easy driving from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, did you go across the West Bank or Do you have to travel around it?
Author
Hi Arno, yes you will drive through the West Bank on the way to the Dead Sea, it’s really no big deal, you won’t even notice it :)) The drive is very beautiful, it’s actually how we always get to the Dead Sea, so don’t worry, it’s not a problem
Thanks a lot!
I have always wanted to travel to Israel but was hesitant, worried to dangerous. Your photos and detailed guide was amazing and I now look forward to traveling here as soon as it is possible for me to.
