Israel Footprint Handbook
Author(s): Vanessa Betts
Small but perfectly formed, steeped in history and with a stunning backdrop, Israel is perfect for anyone looking to escape it all. Footprint's long-awaited 3rd edition Israel Handbook provides everything to help travellers get the most of out of their trip and more! A tiny country of outstanding natural beauty and incredible history and heritage, Israel has been charming visitors for years. Travellers can escape to the rolling green hills of Galilee or head to the barren landscape of the Negev desert to literally float atop the Dead Sea. They can spend their days diving the Red Sea, relaxing on the white sand beaches of the Mediterranean coast or immersing themselves in Jerusalem with its holy sites and incredible historic buildings. Whatever takes their fancy Footprint's Israel Handbook has it covered. Having been missing from the bookshelves for sometime, it has been fully revised and updated, providing comprehensive coverage on where to eat, sleep and party, all the best sights and just how to get around this tiny country. This guide will be the only thing travellers need to pack.
Great coverage of all major attractions, from diving in the Red Sea to skiing on Mount Hebron In-depth descriptions of Pilgrim sites with dozens of plans and detailed historical explanations Dozens of useful maps covering cities and popular sights Practical advice on visiting the Gaza and the West Bank
