Israel

Israel occupies a narrow strip of land at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, where desert, fertile valleys, and ancient cities exist within an hour's drive of one another. The country carries the weight of several thousand years of recorded history in its stones, markets, and religious calendars — Jerusalem's Old City alone contains sites sacred to three major faiths.

About Israel

Overview

Israel borders Lebanon to the north, Syria and Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest, with coastlines on both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. The capital, as designated by the Israeli government, is Jerusalem, though Tel Aviv functions as the commercial and diplomatic hub. Hebrew and Arabic are official languages; the currency is the New Israeli Shekel.
