Best Israel Tours in May

Located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea at the crossroads of Asia and Africa, Israel is a small country where you can drive from snowy mountains to desert craters in just a few hours. In Jerusalem, the atmosphere is heavy with history, especially within the stone walls of the Old City, where the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre sit blocks apart. In contrast, Tel Aviv feels like a Mediterranean version of Miami, known for its long sandy beaches, Bauhaus architecture, and a nightlife scene that stays busy until sunrise. You can spend a morning floating effortlessly in the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, and an afternoon hiking up to the ancient fortress of Masada. Further north, the green hills of the Galilee and the terraced Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa offer a quieter, more scenic side of the country.
